being deceptive. pettitte insisted the call was supposed to be reverse psychologist. he called it a political misjudgment. in hindsight he says it all seemed stupid now not he argued illegal. >> there was no conspiracy on the second of november. i think they established that. i think the witnesses they produced testified more favorably for the defense. >> reporter: the jury did have one question. they wanted to know the difference between the violating the election charge. sort of the difference of carrying the murder and carrying out the murder. the jury will resume their deliberation tomorrow night. all right, thank you very much derek. if convicted of all the

charges, sherick could face nine years in prison. the officer charged while serving a warrant in anne arundel county. adam may has the latest on this case of friendly fire. >> reporter: right now the crime lab is still out here on the scene. detectives have been in the house for a couple of hours now sorting through all the evidence, trying to figure out how one officer apparently shot the other on accident. a baltimore city police officer shot in the arm by another officer during a narcotics investigation in odemton. police order the incident an accidental discharge. >> we're going to try to ascertain the details. all of the specifics in terms of what took place. >> reporter: witnesses saw the chaotic scene. >> we saw all of the officers with their guns drawn. that's when i heard the gunfire. >> reporter: police arrested a 30-year-old man outside the resident prior the to the shooting.

investigators say they found 38 pounds of marijuana and $900 cash. the discovery shocking to neighbors. >> very surprising, nothing we see around here ever. >> it's always really quiet around here, i'm kind of shocked. >> reporter: that police officer who was shot with baltimore city was taken to shock trauma with nonlife threatening injuries. police have not released his name or the name of the officer who did the shooting. he works for baltimore county police. and we're told he's going to be on a routine leave while they sort out all the details. >> we'll have more from the scene at 11:00. we want to update another breaking story. an unusual accident causing traffic slow downs. >> i95 in the roseville area just south of 695, a large

piece of steel has fallen off of the back of the tractor trailer. on to the roadway. it's causing police to scramble. they had to shut down two lanes of northbound i95. what you're seeing going by on the right is traffic that's exiting. the rest of this stuff that's waiting is nearly 4 miles long. it extends to 695 -- correction it extends to 695 and to the harbor tunnel and the fort mckenly tunnel. so expect major delays. the good news is they have heavy equipment on the scene. they have just lifted a piece of steel on to the roll back truck. it appears they'll have this cleared within the next 15 to 20 minutes. but it is causing major problems along northbound 95. you can use route 40 as an alternate but that is also backed down. it looks like patience is going to be the virtue here. you can get on to 695 which

will get you around this incident quicker but it appears that state police are making progress here but expect delays back to you on tv hill. >> thank you very much, captain mike perry. a desperate search under way for a missing baltimore county man who disappeared in an area reservoir. mary bubala is in the newsroom. >> reporter: after three days of searching teams have found no sign of charles duckett. duckett disappeared in the tridelphia area. his boat eventually washed ashore without him in it. duckett works for the sanitation commission which runs the reservoir. montgomery county officials have coordinated the search along with several other agencies, back to you denise. >> duckett has worked for the

but at the same time, he feels his guys are prime to play their best this time of the year. and if that's so that certainly showed in that win in cleveland. the ravens have already established themselves as one of the best teams in the conference. cleveland is far from it. the ravens victory in ohio was never in doubt. dominating in defense and with an offense dominated by ray rice who rushed for more than 136 yards. the ravens build momentum and a play off resume toward a run at the super bowl. >> it'll be great to have a play off game in baltimore. we know what our fans bring and we just got to win football games from here on out. it's clear cut, you know play offs started today we know where we would be at. but i mean we have games left. >> the pressure is to stack those wins over the course of the whole month. because what you're saying you're going for that number one spot. ultimately you're playing for a division championship against

two teams that are right there with you. so there's pressure to win every week. >> reporter: four games to go and the ravens are favored to win them all. so we ask you with our fan cam, what is the team's biggest challenge ahead? >> i think the biggest challenge is for the ravens to stay consistent. i know that they can do it. i don't think we have challenges, i think we will be able to go all the way. >> the biggest challenge is consistency. we just have to be consistent. >> isn't it ironic that we might be in indianapolis for the super bowl. the ravens from baltimore. >> as we take over the town of indianapolis. >> yeah fans can look forward to february in a possible super bowl. the focus on sunday that's when the indianapolis colts come to town. more from john harbaugh including an injury update as the ravens keep ongoing. >> let's hope it's a short injury list, mark thank you very much. >> after the big win the ravens

no excuses says the coach. but over all, more reason for the ravens to be pleased than concerned. the defense continued to be dominant. and on offense the ravens running game looking as good as ever with ray rice leading the way. a 9-3 record with four games to go. that's a good spot. especially for a team that prides itself on getting hot as the weather turns cold. >> we would like to believe that we're built, every we do is built for december. we're trying to be our best in december and january. the whole program is organized that way. i think our players understand that and they begin to think that way. and so we try to improve throughout the course of the season in every area and be at our best this time of year. >> and the ravens will be heavily favored to kick the colts when indy comes to town on sunday. it's a game you can see here on wjz. coverage comes your way at 1:00. with peyton manning out with a neck -- the dirty dozen. that is a record of 0-12.

tom brady and the patriots put the latest loss on indy yesterday. got some points late but it was brady in the past who had piled you have enough to win this game. 31-34 new england win. yes the colts did score three times in the fourth quarter. that made the score look better but it doesn't cover up the fact that this is a pretty bad looking bunch. >> yeah, i mean still. i mean it guys play well and did some things well but we still, we're measured by wins and that's the key. and you know i think like a lot of things that have happened out there for us, out there offensively, defensively we scrambled a little bit. >> now orloski is expected to be the colt's starting qb when they come to baltimore on sunday. that's a big break for the ravens and the rest of the league. the ravens have been

dominating. indy has beaten baltimore at least eight times. baseball's winter meetings are under way in dallas. orioles general manager dan duquet has indicated that the orioles have interest in prince fielder. but don't get your hopes up, duquet has said they are monitoring the market on that. the next big name big money free agent signing looks like it's going to be shortstop jose reyes agreeing to a six year contract. total value of that deal about $106 million. reyes was with the mets for nine seasons. this past year he hit 337 on his first ever batting title. they are reportedly in the running to get free agent slugger albert pujols. former cubs third baseman ron
