steven hayes was charged with 17 felonies. he's been convicted and that verdict delivered just a moment ago of 16 of the 17 which means he was convicted on all of the capital felonies. this jury came back and sent a very clear message. so steven hayes now faces the death penalty six times over. and so what will happen now, contessa, and by the way the only charge they did not convict him on is setting fire to the house, arson in the first degree. guilty on everything else. so what happens now is steven hayes is taken back into custody, of course, and now the jury goes home for a day or two, a day or two off after this horrific trial, then this same jury comes back for the sentencing phase. and so the same jurors who decided whether he was guilty or innocence, and clearly they decided he was guilty 16 times over, will decide whether, in fact, he should be put to death. that could be a power to six week hearing, believe it or not, even after all the evidence presented -- represented in a different way. his defense lawyer said, l

hayes could face the death penalty in a minute. in a moment we'll talk to jeff toobin and sunny hostin about what happened in court today. but first randi kaye looks at the crime. >> reporter: a quiet house became a house of terror and horror. that's how the prosecutor described it in today's closing arguments against steven hayes. he is accused of raping and strangling jennifer hawke-petit. police say he and accomplice joshua komisarjevsky broke into the family home in 2007. komisarjevsky, they say, sexually assaulted 11-year-old michaela petit and then left her and her sister haley to die in a fire they allegedly set. only dr. william petit escaped, though he was brutally beaten. in court today the prosecutor said it all began on a classic july summer day. the petit family went to church. dr. petit played golf and picked up corn to have with dinner on his way home. his wife and daughters went to the super market. the defense closed by suggesting it was komisarjevsky who goes on trial later, not steven hayes, who is to blame. haye

jon: we should point out that this guy who is on trial, steven hayes, steven hayes basically tried to sell out the accused accomplice in this crime, tried to say it's really kam arsavesky's fought, it was not supposed to be a murder, is was possessed to be simply a robbery. >> that's correct. he gave one of the police detectives in this case, when he was brought into custody, he sat down and laid out a lot of the facts. again, he has confessed according to one of the police detectives to a majority of the charges against him, he admits they broke into the home, he admits he took jennifer hawk petit to the bank to withdraw $15,000 out of her bank account, when they realized there was not a safe inside of the house, they went through the purses, her jewelry box, they didn't get a lot, when they saw her bank book, they said things are changing now, we're going to go to the bank, and the idea was, according to the two suspects, accord -- suspect ed the idea was to keep the family members at the home, go to the bank, get the money, when they brought back the mother they was going to put th

now comes the penalty phase for stephen hayes. a mini trial, where his lawyers will try to save his life, while prosecutors will try to convince the jury to take it. even death penalty opponents say the jury will have a lot to grapple with. >> this trial really is about whether or not hayes is just so beyond redemption that he should be eliminated from the human community. >> reporter: the death penalty is rare in connecticut. the state has only executed one person since the penalty was reinstatemented in 1976. >> connecticut ranks right at the bottom in terms of number of people on death row by states. it has ten people under death sentence. there are other states that have death rows in the hundreds. >> reporter: and there is still the matter of the second defendant in the crime, joshua komisarjevsky. the 30-year-old has a young daughter of his own. and lived in the same town as the petits. >> i think the state has been greatly affected. i have never heard people in the general public talk about how they couldn't sleep at night

we took this best practice from on hayes will valley. we have people in our neighborhood with their support, care and love are not coming through the door of light. and getting away from their criminal activity. when there's an arrest and there are repeat offenders. we have the officers tell us the arrest number when they arrest the person. then we hand over letters they are called stay away order letters. they are letters from the community, all of us. we are the ones that have to do all of this. that's an important message. we write letters to the judges saying that we would like this person this individual to be not be able to come back in

>>shepard: what happens next with hayes and the other guy accused in the murders and assaults? >>reporter: penalty phase is next for hayes scheduled for october 18 and the same jury that decided the guilt will be back. they are the ones that will decide whether hayes will get the death penalty or life in prison. now, dr. petit who has been present during each day of the trial is expected to attend the penalty phase for hayes which will most likely bring up more hard evidence and testimony to get through and all of us have wondered how he has been able to get through this each day and he told reporters today they would do the same thing if their family was destroyed birr -- by evil. >> do i want to do it? do i look forward to it? no i get nausea when i walk across the street, but ... i think i do it for my family and i think all of you would do the same thing for your families. >>reporter: most believe the next trial for joshua komisarjevsky, the other suspect in the case, will be even more difficult to get through because joshua komisarjevsky is the one who is accused of raping

steven hayes had gone in to rob the family. then it was the other man's idea, the man on the right side of your screen, to really set the house on fire, to tie them up. and to tie the girls up, to sexually assault jennifer hawk-petit along with one of the girls. now the jury that figured out that steven hayes is guilty needs to figure out in he'll be put to death. >> and what about the accomplice? where does it stand with him? >> reporter: right, he gets an entirely separate trial. this starts all over again when he goes on trial. it's unclear. william petit came to see steven hayes in court every single day. made a point of saying to me, i said why do you do this? you're really putting yourself through hell here looking at gruesome evidence photos, hearing the awful details, he says i have to be here for my family. it will be interesting if he puts himself through that again in the name of this family in the next trial? >> it's absolutely unimaginablu. >>> coming up, why the government is making it harder for cars to get good

later, hayes forced jennifer- hawke petit to withdraw $15,000 from the bank. surveillance video shows her pleading with a bank teller. a bank manager called 911. >> reporter: she returned home and police did respond, but they could not prevent hayes from raping and strangling jennifer hawk-petit. komisarjevsky had already sexual assaulted young mikaila. before fleeing, the intruders doused the mother and daughters with gasoline and set the home on fire. both defendants offered to plead guilty in exchange for life sentences but prosecutors said no, spurred on by dr. petit himself, who has been outspoken in his support of the death penalty. >> most of you out here are, you know, are good human beings. i think you probably would all do the same thing for your families if your family was destroyed by evil. >> reporter: this case is seen as a referendum on the death penalty in connecticut which is abolishing it. up next for steven hayes, the penalty phase of his trial when jurors decide on death or not. katie? >> couric: jeff, when does that penalty phase begin and

the jury actually found hayes not guilty on one count. >> the only count that hayes was acquitted on was first degree arson. the charge that he was the one that intentionally set the fire inside the pettit home. during jury deliberations jurors wanted to know if pouring gasoline is considered starting a fire. the judge answered no. hayes admitted to dousing the stairs inside but denied lighting the match that started inferno. now jurors must come back in two weeks to start the penalty phase. dr. petit has said all along that he wants justice for his family. >> we really thank the jury for their due diligence and careful consideration of the charges in reaching what we feel is an appropriate verdict. and we hope they will continue to use the sail diligence and clarity of thought as they consider arguments in the for the second suspect. >> that's right. and jury selection is expected to begin for joshua majewski next year. court officials here say most likely they will want to get through the holidays before they get another jury impaneled. the career criminal is facing 21 counts, many

steven hayes really didn't have much reaction to this. he stood throughout the reading of the verdict and there were 17 look down, but he bowed his head just a little bit. i thought possibly we'd see reaction from the 16th count, the one count he wasn't convicted on, arson, but it didn't make any difference. basically no reaction from him in the least. >> what about dr. petit and others in the court? >> they have been incredibly stoic through all of this. clearly this was a very stressful moment for them. i saw dr. petit's sister, hannah chatman, she seemed to be having the most problem or stress dealing with this. she had her head down and at one point someone sitting behind her reached around and put his arm around her shoulder. dr. petit didn't have much reaction but that is absolutely typical for him. when it was over, however, when the jury -- jurors had been released and court was recessed for the day, family members hugged each other, they were clearly happy with this outcome. >> next is the penalty phase. what is the defense at th
