Amy Robach

To appeal the verdict.

Yes, of course.

They say they look forward to appealing the verdict in this case.

And look, I don't know what grounds they will make at this point because, frankly, it looks like he could have been facing much, much more jail time if the jury had found him guilty of that more serious charge.

Which, frankly, after listening to it, we never get it right.

I thought that was very possible.

Yes, absolutely.

Yes.

That was my biggest surprise that the jury actually struggled with this as long as they did to come to the unanimous verdict that they came to.

But I stand by the fact that I am genuinely surprised that he was only convicted of the lesser charge.

In terms of the premeditation, I thought, I mean, just from what we heard, I thought the prosecution did a pretty good job of establishing at least enough of...

I felt like proof that he had thought about this, that he had researched this hike, that he had looked into his options, that there were plenty of other best hikes in this area, that he chose a hike that was dangerous.

He chose a hike that had steep cliffs.

And he was trying to get her and urging her to continue, even though she was scared, even though she didn't want to go on those steep reversions.

On her birthday, by the way,

he was trying to get her to follow him.

So anyway, I thought that was the most surprising part of this, that it took so long for the jury to get there and that they only convicted him on the lesser charge, given all of the evidence.

He's 39.

I believe he's 39.

Yeah.
