her, claiming damages. >> reporter: according to a legal expert this and other airbnb guests can in some circumstances be considered tenants which means to get her guest evicted shagel has to go through a full eviction process that could take months and thousands in legal fees. >> so airbnb is extremely popular, but it's up to you to understand the rules and the laws that govern your area. >> reporter: this morning they paid her for the full reservation and tells abc news "we're working with her to provide additional support as we move forward." >> abc news reached out to that squatter for comment, but we haven't heard back and, guys, let's be real. who knew that a ten apartment law would apply here so that's the big lesson before you rent out your place make sure you know what the state local laws are. >> especially now. airbnb has gotten so popular. >> absolutely. >> this is only going to give people other ideas now. >> the nanny. i'm not going. >> i'm selling all my stuff and renting from airbnb and stay in

reporter with "the atlanta journal constitution" says he reviewed evidence not released to the public including a surveillance video from the home depot corporate office where harris worked and during a july 3rd hearing prosecutors and police pointed to the amount of time he remained in the car before heading into his job. >> it's around 30 seconds from the time he parked the vehicle to till the time he gets out and shuts the door. >> reporter: but when torpy reviewed that they saw something different. >> he was in the car for about 15 seconds, maybe a little less. >> reporter: another discrepancy. prosecutors said the surveillance video showed harris went out to lunch with co-workers and returned to the car with some lightbulbs suggesting once again he could see his sun in the backseat. >> he's in there. >> reporter: but according to torpy. >> his arm and maybe his shoulder was in but his head remains above the roof line. >> reporter: the prosecution also suggests harris became worried when another man walked past him in the parking lot. >> he kind of stands there for a little bit as the guy walks past him. >> reporter: but the ajc

investigation found harris seemed oblivious to the other man. >> he keeps walking plucking at the phone. >> reporter: he pleaded not guilty to murder and second degree child cruelty. his half brother who testified on his behalf -- >> he loved his son very much. >> reporter: told the "ajc" police and prosecutors rushed to judgment and he and harris were planning to take their vacations on an october cruise proof that harris had not planned to kill his son. he characterizes his brother's arrest as a character assassination. abc news reached out to harris' defense team and the prosecution including the detective who testified and no one would comment on these details. >> okay, thank you. we'll bring in dan abrams for more on this. your take on the newspaper's investigation? >> this is a good story. i think it's an important story but, remember, he's not charged with intentionally trying to kill his child. i think that's really important. no question the decorative in this proceeding in this hearing strongly suggested that he --

they believe this was premeditated but the actual charge that he's facing here, right now at this point, does not involve intentional conduct. it just involves recklessly or being grossly negligent in leaving his child in the car and the child, therefore, dieing, so in that sense, it may not affect the case as much as the article seems to suggest. >> but the article has suggested and "the atlanta journal constitution" are saying the discrepancies are striking. that's the word they use, "striking." >> yeah, i found them to be interesting and important and exactly the sort of arguments you would see a defense attorney make. i think that they were -- some of them were a little troubling but, look, what you may have here is police officers who investigated this case and became convinced that he was guilty and then started looking at everything through that lens. that's not okay. that's not the way you want police officers to investigate.

but i think that this article to me at worse suggests that. again, you have to come back to what he's charged with and say, okay, does this now fundamentally change the case? meaning, would the judge have looked at this case differently if he'd known what we saw in this article and the answer is much of what was in this article came out in the hearing. it was part of the cross-examination, et cetera. so definitely some new, important details here but to me doesn't it willy change the case. >> you don't think the authorities overstated their case. >> i think that the police officer if this article is accurate may have overstated the case but i don't think it's going to lead to the case getting dismissed. i don't think it would have led the judge to have done anything differently. thanks. >> appreciate it. we turn to the mysterious killing of a prominent law professor at florida state university. police are convinced it's a murder case but so far no good leads so they're asking for the public's help. abc's matt gutman has the story. >> reporter: this morning,

police are scrambling to unravel the riddle of who killed professor dan markel. >> we do believe this was not a random act where he surprised somebody. what we do believe mr. markel was the intended victim. >> reporter: markel was shot in this quiet development. the divorced 41-year-old was the 2k0e9ing dad of two boys. >> and they were certainly his pride and joy. >> reporter: a college professor ir, a legal scholar, a harvard grad published in "the new york times," he spoke at this conference in 2012. >> the sensing issue is disassistant. >> reporter: his ex-wife, fellow professor said through her lawyer that she is just devastated and scared to death. police say markel apparent lly opened the door to his kill sfler any time there is a robbery or burglary most people don't have the keys to the house. >> there was no sign of forced entry. a key clues says. it means he knew the killer and

police responded after neighbors heard a loud bang. he was pronounced dead at a loud hospital. the paper reports that a single gunshot to the back. police say they're short of clews and opened a tip line hoping to provide the kind of justle markel sought for other. >> there probably are two people in this world who know exactly where mr. markel was injured, one of those would be mr. markel himself and the other would be the suspect in this case. >> reporter: for "good morning america," matt gutman, abc news, miami. >> strange one right there. let's go to ginger with the weather. >> people ask about your wedding and say was there a problem? i had millions of problems being may flies. it's a story about my wedding but this is a radar and detected so many may flies, look at this video and you'll get a better indication of what was happening. everywhere and these things live for 24 hours and they were around in northern michigan just for the week of my wedding.
