[Sylvester:] We have been tracking Hurricane Wilma and we want to take you now live to show you these pictures from Broward County, Florida, courtesy of our affiliate, WSVN. You can see flooded streets there, cars, pickup trucks just slip sliding away. This is a very significant storm. And what they are getting, essentially, is the outer band of Hurricane Wilma, just to put this in perspective. This isn't even Wilma coming ashore. This is just the outer band of Hurricane Wilma, dumping significant amount of rain there. They are expecting as much as 11 inches in parts of Florida as the storm continues. So, this is the storm people have to take very seriously. We know that Florida has been use to storms and hurricanes in the past. But, in light of what happened with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans people are taking this much more seriously. We will continue to update this story throughout the afternoon. Now turning to California. Prosecutors there say a teenager will be tried as an adult in the beating death of a well-known defense attorney's wife. Sixteen-year-old Scott Edgar Dyleski was charge yesterday with one count of murder in connection with the slaying of Pamela Vitale. Defense attorney and legal commentator, Daniel Horowitz, says he found his wife's brutally beaten body at their San Francisco area home last Saturday. Dyleski made his first court appearance yesterday. His bail is set for $1 million. Law enforcement officials say Pamela Vitale was beaten to death with a piece of crown molding and they say a crucifix was carved in her back. Law enforcement officials say Dyleski lived near Daniel Horowitz and Pamela Vitale's estate and they say Vitale may have confronted the teen on her property. Let's go now to Jim Zamora, the "San Francisco Chronicle" reporter who has been following this case very closely. What can you tell us about how likely are they to get a life without the possibility of patrol? Will they seek the death penalty? What's the maximum charge that prosecutors may seek?
[Jim Zamora, "san Francisco Chronicle":] At this time, Scott Dyleski is charged with murder with using a bludgeon and because of his age, he does not turn 17 until October 30, he can only face a maximum penalty at this time of 26 years to life. That means he would serve 26 years minimum and then the possibility of patrol after that date. California under California law, he cannot face the death penalty for the crime that he's charged with. Prosecutors believe that he came onto the property as part of a scam where he was using stolen credit cards to order supplies for growing marijuana in a remote area of the hills about 25 miles east of San Francisco. They believe that he confronted Pamela Vitale and a struggle ensued and he bludgeoned her 39 times with a piece of wooden crown molding that was being used in the remodeling and construction of their new home.
[Sylvester:] I know that this case is very much in the early stages, but how important will DAN evidence play in this case? And also what sort of evidence has investigators been able to piece together at this point?
[Zamora:] Investigators, even last night, after Scott Dyleski was charged and in custody, were still searching the property nearby there. He lives in a home about a mile down the road from Horowitz and Vitale. But, if you hike up the hill, there's sort of a remote path, it's only about quarter of a mile that way. There were deputies searching that area late last night, they brought out generators, they brought out lights. So, they're still looking for evidence. That's clear. One of the things they believe is that he took some clothing from the home. They're also examining possible DNA that may have been found in Miss Vitale's fingernails. One of the odd things about this case is that after the crime, they believe that the killer of Miss Vitale went and used a shower and cleaned took a shower there and cleaned himself and cleaned his clothing with a solvent. Now, it's unclear exactly what else happened in that scenario, what other items might have been taken. They don't believe that the motive here was robbery, but there could be significant smaller pieces of evidence that Scott Dyleski could have taken from that scene and that's the focus of what investigators are looking at, at this time.
[Sylvester:] Jim Zamora from the "San Francisco Chronicle," thank you very much for giving us that update.
[Zamora:] Thank you.
