NightSide - An Update On The Chism Trial

BOSTON (CBS) - The jury began its deliberations today in the trial of Phillip Chism, who is charged with murdering a Danvers teacher in 2013. Chism's lawyer admits the teen killed and raped Colleen Ritzer, but argued that he was suffering a psychotic episode during the attack and can't be held responsible for his actions. The jury was unable to reach a verdict today, and will resume deliberations tomorrow. Attorney Brad Bailey has been following the trial closely, and he joins Tim in studio to talk about it.

Originally broadcast December 14th, 2015.
