Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom 20130223

From the cnn center, this is cnn saturday morning. Its saturday, february 23. Good morning, im Victor Blackwell in for randi kaye. The vatican may be facing a new scandal. Explosive allegations involving sex, bribes, and fierce infighting. New england, ah, new england, bracing for more severe weather. Well tell you whats brewing in northeast this weekend. And Danica Patrick is gearing up for the daytona 500 and hoping to drive right into the history books. Well have all that and more this hour. Oscar pistorius will be back in court on june 4. This weekend, the olympic hero is staying at his uncles house. He was released on a 112,000 bail. Of course, there are conditions. Pistorius cannot return to his house and must report every monday and friday to a police station. He must avoid witnesses. He must surrender his passport and cannot go near an airport. And he must not drink alcohol. Nick robertson is live in johannesburg, south africa, for us. What is the reaction of the people in south africa . This man was a hero. Are they happy or disappointed that he was released on bail . Reporter he was a hero for them. And so many people here, in fact almost everyone, has followed this whether its on twitter, step by step whats happening in the courtroom. The television headlines, local news, newspaper banner headlines. Its been there in peoples faces. Theyve been following the bail hearings. But now theres a decision, it does seem people are divided over the outcome. I think its fair. I think the man is not we dont know if hes guilty or not. And to trial him now its not really fair, and i think theyve set the right conditions for the bail. Its shocking to think that despite of all the evidence that have mounted up against him, he still managed to get bail, you know . It ae its i guess a reflection of our judicial system after all. Reporter well, his family says theyre pleased to have him home. They know their lives have changed irreversibly. His uncle has said hes eaten, hes had a bath. They want to talk with him about everything that happened, have further time together. The family says its drawn them much closer together. The legal experts say dont read too much into the outcome of the bail hearing. The trial could be a whole lot different. We carried the proceedings yesterday live on cnn. And the magistrate took almost two hours to explain this bail decision. Is that common . Reporter it isnt. The whole proceedings werent common. He took the two hours which is perhaps twice as long as some regular bail hearings on r in their entirety. What he did there and lawyers have commented on it is lay down a very, very sort of detailed legal account of whats happened, taking everything into balance. There have been some political pressures and popular pressure on the street, if you will, to keep Oscar Pistorius in jail until the trial. So what he wanted was to do was lay it out so no one could come back to him and question his judgment about why hed done it. Lay it out there. He came down hard against the prosecution and against the police investigation. Some of it essentially was saying it was very slipshod, and that i think is perhaps he wanted to make sure he was on firm ground and nobody could come back at him on that. Senior International Correspondent Nick Robertson live in johannesburg for us. Thank you. The vatican is slamming media reports in italy about why Pope Benedict decided to resign. Two publications say it happened the same day the pope received a bombshell. 300page vatican dossier documenting homosexuality in the priesthood. Ben wedeman joins us from rome. The vatican says this is an attempt by the italian media to influence the upcoming conclave. Walk us through this. Reporter basically this goes back to the december 17 when three cardinals who were assigned by Pope Benedict to investigate wrongdoing in the vatican presented him with a 300page redbound dossier which included information, according to these two publications, la republica, a daily newspaper, and panorama, a weekly magazine, suggesting that there was a network of gay priests within the vatican who were being blackmailed by a network of male prostitutes outside the vatican in the city of rome. The vatican has come out with an uncharacteristically strong statement saying that these unverified, unverifiable, or false news reports are damaging to people and institutions. And the vatican is suggesting that somehow this is a means to pressure the cardinals who will be going into the socalled conclave to elect the next pope will be influenced by the contents or the suggestions being made by these this dossier. Victor . Indeed a strongly worded response. Ben wedeman live in rome for us. Thank you. Now a cardinal who will vote for a new pope today is tied up in a messy legal deposition. Cardinal roger mahony, one of the most powerful catholic leaders in the u. S. , must answer questions about pedophile priests in the Los Angeles Diocese during his watch. Now, internal church documents seem to show that mahoney was aware of priests abusing children but went out of his way to shield them from prosecution. Well have much more on this story when the deposition gets underway this afternoon. The Justice Department says it will go after Lance Armstrong for tens of millions of dollars. It will join the lawsuit filed by former Postal Service teammate floyd landis. Now the suit says that armstrong and his Team Managers defrauded the government by accepting millions in funds. Now i asked cycling analyst dave shields if armstrong can ever recover. Different from athletes who have had maybe falls from grace. A huge parts of his popularity was due to his integrity. When he completely admits that he doesnt have integrity, i think its going to be very difficult for anybody to trust him in the way that they did in the past. Impossible, as a matter of fact. Armstrong admitted last month to doping during his career. The Obama Administration want the Supreme Court to strike down the defense of marriage act as unconstitutional. The 1996 law denies federal benefits to samesex couples even if theyre legally married. A brief filed with the High Court Said the law creates unequal treatment of gays and lesbians. Now the Administration Says Annie Winsor Edie Windsor deserves to get money back after the passage of the act that happened after her partner died. The air force has ordered its fleet of f35 fighter jets grounded after a crack was found in the engine of one of the planes during a routine inspection. At nearly 400 billion, the hightech jets are the most expensive Weapons Systems in military history. There are 51 planes in the fleet. We now know the identity of another victim of that deadly shooting and car crash on the las vegas strip. Our affiliate, komo, reports Sandra Sutton was the passenger in that taxi that burst into flames after a maserati crashed into it. Now the crash also killed the taxi driver. Someone in a black range rover opened fire on the maserati. This happened early thursday, killing the driver of the maserati. He has been identified as aspiring rapper kenneth cherry. Police are now hunting for the occupants of that range rover. The winter storm that buried the midwest is gone. But now, its new england thats getting the snow. The record snowfall across parts of kansas caused a lot of problems. Look at this. The roof of this dance school near kansas city caved in. The school of closed at the time, good news, no one was hurt. New england is still coping from with the blizzard from two weeks ago. With more snow on the way, Karen Maginnis has the latest from the weather center. Karen, this is the same system or not the same storm that hit the midwest . Its kind of an amalgamation. That system broke apart, and one piece moved across the great lakes. Another has lingered across the southeast. Theres going to be development of another area of low pressure off the coast of the midatlantic. This is going to be traveling right along the coast of new england. And just as soon as it turn away on the back side of that, well see an increase in volume of snow, maybe wind. This is how it looks now. We mentioned boston because boston, this month alone has seen 32 inches of snowfall. The record set in 2003 had just a little over 41 inches. So were still a good ways away. What will this system produce . It looks like between two and four inches of snow. As i mentioned, the timing is critical. This area of low pressure moves up the eastern seaboard or the northeastern coast, it will start to swing out as we go into the next several days. And as a result, the next 24 hours actually, but on the back side of that still could produce significant snowfall in interior sections of new england. We have some video from an ireporter. Amanda laviana. She said it sounded like an earthquake. They heard a thunderous roar. Her coworkers thought, what is happening here . She went down and photographed this is out of wichita. Wichita saw 14 inches of snowfall as she captured this video for us. Very remarkable, terrifying, and something you probably dont see too often. Amanda, thank you for sending us that ireport. You can do the same at ireport. Com. All right. For boston, this is the area that were really paying attention because of the phenomenal snowfall over just the last several weeks. It does look like the computer models are not really convinced about how much snowfall. And right now, theyre saying two to four. Could be one to three. But whatever it is, its not looking like it did yesterday. We were expecting maybe ten inches or 12 inches. But across the deep south, heavy rainfall expected here. Number of rivers and screams filling up all across the deep south. And ive got to mention, victor, that coming up for the daytona 500, about a 50 50 chance of showers by the afternoon. Looked like bleacher reports joe carter was there enjoying the 85 degrees and clear. That may end soon unfortunately. All right. Its danica mania at Daytona Beach this weekend. Well talk about Danica Patrick, of course. Shes the first woman to win the pole position for the daytona 500. That puts her in the best position to make history as the first woman to win tomorrows big race. All eyes will be surely on her as she races in a separate race on the daytona track.

But the prosecution says it was premeditated murder. So was it a tragic accident or cold, calculated murder . Our tom foreman takes a look. Reporter throughout these proceedings, both sides have been insisting their version of events is the correct one. Lets sort them out. Oscar pistorius says it all began in the bedroom in the early hours of valentines day, in the darkness he and his girlfriend were asleep. He got out to go to the balcony to bring in a fan and close a window. Unbeknownst to him, he says, his girlfriend got up and went to the bathroom. Swhoe came back in from so when he came back in from the balcony, he was under the impression that she was still in the bed. Lets fly inside and show his point of view. He says he goes into this darkened room, he doesnt have his prosthetic legs. On hes low to the ground. The room is dark. He thinks shes must be there, and then he hears a noise down the hallway. There have been threats against his life, breakins in the neighborhood before. He gets his pistol from under the bed and goes down the hall to confront the intruder, sees the open window. The door to the toilet room is closed and he hears a noise and thinks thats the intruder. Yells for the intruder to get out, yelling for his girlfriend to protect herself. In a panic, fires through the door. Only when he goes back into the bedroom to put on his prosthetic legs and turn the lights on he says does he realize this his girlfriends not there. Then it occurs to him that that might have been her inside the toilet room. He bashes the door down and calls for help. That is his version of what happened. The prosecutors tell a very different story. They say, look, there was no darkness. The lights were on the whole time. There was no confusion. There was a huge fight going on. They say the couple had been arguing so loud that neighbors hundreds of yards away could hear it. Yes, she went into the bathroom, but she went and locked the door to get away from him. And they say that Oscar Pistorius then got his pivotal and, yes, went pistol and, why went down the hallway in full light with full knowledge of what he was doing. That he was pursuing her to the door. When he found it locked, in a rage he tried to bash it down and shot through it with the intent of killing her. Two very different stories, and the details will determine whether or not he spends a lot of time in jail. The trial is scheduled to start in june, but its not expected to actually start until the end of the year. Meantime, pistorius is out on bail. The judge says hes not a flight risk. Earlier i asked jane velezmitchell if she thought granting bail was the right call. I do not. I think its actually an outrage. Imagine how all the people behind bars in South African jails feel right now. Accused of lesser crimes, mind you. I think well see possibly a whitewash in this case. I have worries about that, and heres why it seems that the reputation of Oscar Pistorius is so closely intertwined with the reputation of south africa that there is a bias to accept the world according to Oscar Pistorius because to make him look bad makes south africa look bad. I think this is absolutely injustice. The question is going further along that line, can he get a fair trial . There are politicians in south africa who say hes getting special consideration. Some believe because of his fame he cannot gets a fair trial. Whats your call . I think hes going to get more than a fair trial. What about justice for Reeva Steenkamp . Where does she come into play here . Shes been lost in all of this. Shes no longer around to tell her side of the story. Frankly, his story does not make sense. I mean, the forensics dont back up his story. He says he was on his stumps and was in terror because he feared an intruder and that he shot through the door. The trajectory of the bullet according to the prosecutor shows that he was shooting down. Then theres the arguing that witnesses reportedly heard. Prolonged arguing before the shooting. Who has a prolonged argument with a burglar before shooting at them . It does not add up. A lot of questions. And then this entirely different storyline about the lead investigator who has been charged with attempted murder, seven counts. What does that play into the storyline . I got to tell you, this is an abomination and essentially taints the entire case. Shades of the o. J. Simpson case where they argued garbage in, garbage out. Already oscars defense attorney is saying, well, they contaminated the crime scene. Almost using the same terminology used in the o. J. Simpson defense saying they werent wearing booties. And this guy admits, yeah, they ran out of booties. So everything that was collected under his watch is tainted. Another reason why we wont get justice possibly. And this bail hearing went on for four days. There was a lot of information that the defense put forward. Has that jeopardized their case at all, and what is the length of the hearing telling us about the trial thats upcoming . This is just a National Obsession in south africa. And again, i uft think that there is i just think that there is an institutional bias here to accept his version of events. Face it, theres more and more evidence coming out that he may well be a hothead. The judge even referred to allegations that he threat noted to break someone threatened to break someones legs. The police after the shooting said there were previous incidents of a domestic nature. We still dont know what that is about. He has a past. A gun went off. Allegedly he was holding it at a restaurant. Is he somebody who has a problem with temper and guns . And that as we know is a very deadly combination. Just a few seconds left. I know were still months out from the start of the actual trial. Do you have any prediction on this ultimate ruling, the outcome in this trial . Listen, the judge actually asked the defense attorney what do you think he should be charged with. And he said culpable homicide. That gives you an idea of where theyre going. I think hell either walk or he will be convicted of culpable homicide, essentially i dont think that justice is going to be done for reeva, the forgotten person in all of this. Jane velezmitchell, good to talk it you about this. You, too. Victor. And you can watch jane velezmitchell weeknights at eastern on our sister network, hln. She is outrunning the men on the track.

Danica pa strict out to make more than patrick is out to make more than nascar history. Shes the first woman to win the pole position, the front spot in the daytona 500 race. Tomorrow shell try to win the big race. I want to bring in joe carter who is in Daytona Beach. We know that danica has made history with the pole position. We got that. What dont we know about her . Reporter well, in the short amount of time that we do get to spend with Danica Patrick, weve noticed a huge change in her personality. This daytona 500 opposed to the last daytona 500. Shes gone from a steely driver to really a woman in love. Somebody whos warm, approachable, confident person. Wanted to know as we head into this historic race day just who is this woman, this new woman behind the wheel. I think that theres an opinion that im probably kind of hard or tough or too serious maybe. But i can tell you im probably like the opposite of that at home. Number one, im very girlie. I mean, i like to go shopping, i like to get pedicures. I like to wear high heels and dresses. So im definitely a lot softer than i am at the race track where i am doing my job. Reporter love, as it turns out, has no caution flag. In november, she announced the end of her sevenyear marriage. Just we go ago, it was revealed she had a new love. Fellow rookie driver ricky stenhouser j. And her happiness couldnt be more apparent. Were enjoying it. And i think that we both kind of laugh a lot when we get asked about each other. So i chk thats i think that good thing. Im not going to crash somebody because they crashed her. Im going to drive hard every week. Reporter being in the spotlight is nothing new for danica. Shes garnered worldwide family fame for her provocative photo shoots and record 12 super bowl appearances. How hot is too hot . Reporter danica is among nasc nascars top earners and biggest stars. Over the years shes been a lightning rod for critics who point to her failure so far to win a race. Or accuse her of focusing more on selfpromotion. But for racing, she brings a tremendous amount of exposure and popularity to a sport that could use an attendance and tv ratings boost. Its really created significant added interest from a fanbased standpoint. Reporter patrick struggled in this point last year, her first race with nascar after indycar. Two laps into the daytona 500, she crashed and finished 38th. Now after making history as the first woman to win pole position for this years race, its clear that her years of working to make it to the front row are paying off on the biggest stage. I have a lot to learn, too. I understand that. I mean, ive got jeff gordon starting next to me, and ive got my god, a herd of them behind me. Hopefully at the end of 500, were rolling and we have a chance. Reporter victor, she believes her chances are pretty good. Keep in mind she is a rookie at nascars highest level. This is her first full season. And a reporter asked her yesterday, danica, do you think you have any chance at winning the daytona 500 on sunday. She looked the reporter straight in the eye and said, do i have a chance of winning . Absolutely. She is certainly one of the most confident rookie drivers out here. Victor . Got to be.

The blade runner is out on a 112,000 bail, accused of killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Premeditated murder charge. But he must report to the police twice a week and be back in court on june 4.

Its obviously very good news for oscar and his family. Gives him enough time to go home and actually give him a lot of comfort. I not thats wh i think that what oscar needs at this time. I think at this time its important for him to have comfort from those that are close to him. The evidence produced in court over the past few days has raised several questions. The magistrate said there were a lot of improbabilities in pistoriuss story. We asked steenkamps cousin. Are you convinced of his guilt or innocence . For me tos very, very difficult. I have lots and lots of questions. But i i believe that when the trial starts the truths going to come out. Were going to get to the bottom of this. What questions do you have . Id like to ask oscar why he didnt lean over and touch my cousin first and just when he was when he thought there was somebody else, why didnt he nudge her and say, you know, are you okay, keep quiet, im coming now thats just i think about it the whole time, thats something i would have done or my husband would have done. Im sure he would have grabbed me and said, quiet. Theres somebody in the house. Trial scheduled for june. Realistically, it may not start until the end of the year.

Lots of College Graduates cant find work that matches their level of education. And other skilled employees have lost highpaying jobs and have been forced to work for much less. Tom foreman shows us how underemployment is making our American Journey much harder. Reporter every day on the busy streets of new york, kelich irwin is hunting. When he received his College Degree last year, he moved here from the west coast and thought finding a job in marketing of the next logical step. Not that it would be an easy task, but it wouldnt be something that almost eight months out of since graduating im still struggling with. Reporter hes not alone. Our economy is adding jobs, but too many people still cant find fulltime employment. Reporter when president obama took office, 135 million americans were working in nonfarm jobs. Today after massive losses and a slow recovery, 1. 2 million jobs better off and many pay less than those that were lost. A study by the college for affordability found almost half of College Graduates are in jobs that do not require fouryear degrees. Things like janitorial services, taxi driving and retail sales. Professor Richard Vetter at Ohio University helped author that study. Lets say each one of them were making 20,000 a year more in income which was require plausible, were talking about 400 billion a year in lost wages. Reporter numbers like it have made some economic analysts argue that underemployment may be every bit as damaging to the economy as unemployment. And kelich irwin is caught in the middle of it all. Hes taking freelance jobs and parttime work with moving companies but they can only support me for so long before my need to head home. Reporter he might be the next one moving back home.

When asked how good the president is at dancing, the first lady said, she gives him a b. Now to the controversy surrounding the comment made about the duchess of cambridge. Re19ed british novelist hillary mantell referred to catherine as a jointed doll with a plastic smile. I spoke to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams about it. First, to those controversial comments. Listen. I saw kate becoming a jointed doll which certain racks are hung. In those days she was just a shop window mannequin with no personality of her own. Entirely defined by what she wore. These days as a mothertobe, shes draped in another set of threadbare acontributitriattri. Once shes over being sick, the press will decide shes radiant. And theyll will find this young womans life until now was nothing. Her only point and purpose, like other royal ladies, will come to her only point and purpose being to give birth. Now some people are saying mantell was lecturing on how the media and public view catherine. The tabloids have been raging against mantell saying shes bashing the duchess. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams joins us from london to help us sort this out. I want to start with this. What do you think about the comments . Well, frankly, this sort of controversy is very rare. To have a top novelist say what she said in the way she said it and have the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition and as you mentioned a large amount of the press ferociously attacking her, this is certainly an amazing episode, the lecture that hillary mantell i would emphasize shes shes highly respected, book totaled royal bodies was about the way we perceive royalty. What was, i felt, unacceptable was the language she used to describe the duchess of cambridge. For example, to say of kate, the perfect plastic smile, that she had she was a doll to hang certain rags on, was quite a lot of personal language. And it is that i think a lot of people found very objectionable. The other aspect of this is that theres a certain intellectual thing about it, mantell is a superb writer. Sheep knows the english language, but she also knows how to wound. And theres a considerable amount in this, the phraseology, which could and should have been very different. Whats interesting is that typically what we saw in the British Press is many of the tabloids go after the royals. In this case, it seems that theyre protective of the duchess. Is that rare . I think its unusual in one sense. They want it both ways because of course a lot of people buy the tabloids to read about the royals. And all the tabloids can tell them, the more they read. And the symbiotic relationship and mantell mentions diana a good deal in her lecture, is one of the considerable problems as we saw in the prince harry interview where he showed his intense dislike of the media.

Hackers are prying into our computers. Find out if youre at risk. A Cyber Security firm says its tracked a Hacking Network tied to the Chinese Military, and the lengths it says the Chinese Military is going to to hack u. S. Computers beyond alarming. Brian todd has more. Reporter ice a dreary looking 12story Office Building in shanghai. But according to a new report, it houses part of a shadowy Chinese Military unit responsible for thousands of hacks into american businesses and government agencies. The report from the Cyber Security firm mandiant, says the group goes by discreet code names like unit 63198, is nicknamed the comet crew and is a secret division of the Chinese Military sanctioned at the top levels of the government. What are they stealing . Great question. It sort of depends on industry. But at the end of the day, its hard to eliminate anything. Word documents, power point documents, email, spread sheaths. Reporter it gets more ominous. The ceo says chinese hackers in general, he wouldnt say this specific unit, have targeted vital american services. We got more specific information. Cybersecurity researchers say that Chinese Military unit also trains its attacks on infrastructure in north america, electrical grids and switchers like this one, oil and gas facilities, Water Treatment plants. One prominent cybersecurity researcher told us last september a company that designed software giving oil and Gas Companies and power grid operators access to things like valves and switches was successfully hacked by that military unit. That firm, telvent, says its working with its customers and law enforcement. None of the utilities have been actually disabled. They say the typical hack from this unit starts with socalled spearfishing, an email sent to a Company Official in the u. S. Er masquerading itself as being from someone familiar. The victim opens an attachment or zip file and their computer is infected. Ma mandia says his firms tracked this military hacking for seven years. How . Theyd monitor the affected computers of victims who have hired his firm and go back click by click one key stroke at a time. We saw somebody log in to the victim in the United States and checking their Gmail Account in plain view. We call it fullcontent monitoring. Reporter the Chinese Government has blacked out some of cnns reporting on this story, even as it emphatically denies sanctioning hacking. Making baseless accusations based on premature analysis is irresponsible and unprofessional. And it doesnt help solving relevant issues. China resolutely opposes any form of hacking activities. Reporter brian todd, cnn, washington. In los angeles, plys are searching for answers in the death of canadian tourist. The body of the 21yearold, elisa lamb, was found in the water tank of a skid row hotel after she was reported hissing in january. Her body was discovered when hotel guests complained about disever colored water with a funny taste. Plys say she may have been in that tank for weeks. For now, the cause of her death is unknown. Coroner is ordering a toxicology report. Cnn newsroom continues with Fredricka Whitfield now. Hey, fred. Good to see you, victor. Well elaborate on something youve been reporting on, the vatican, angry response coming from the vatican to salacious media reports about homosexuality inside the priesthood. Two italian publications allege Pope Benedict xvi decided to step down the same day he received an explosive dossier on gay priests. Cnns senior International Correspondent ben wedeman joining us live from rome. The vatican denying the existence of this deszier f ido starters . Reporter not necessarily. They havent sort of confirmed or denied that. What they are blasting in uncharacteristically strong terms, fredricka, are these reports that appeared in a daily newspaper, la republica and a weekly magazine panorama, which suggests that, indeed, this group of three cardinals who were assigned by Pope Benedict to look into wrongdoing in the vatican found or allegedly uncovered, according to these publications a network of gay priests within the vatican who were being blackmailed according to these reports by a network of male prostitutes in rome. Now, the vatican is roundly denying these reports taking place, accusing the italian media of trying to influence the conclave, that group of 1816 cardinals who will be meeting in the next few weeks in rome or rather in the vatican city, to elect the next pope. Fredricka . In general, are people taking this report seriously throughout rome, or is there some reticence to really embrace it . Reporter well, that depends who you speak to. Some of the vaticanisti, veteran cat vath can watchers, are somewhat skeptical about these reports, but many other people are taking them seriously. Theyve been picked up not only by these two publications but really theyre appearing in all the italian media. Weve had in the past just three years ago there were reports that were backed up by video and still pictures of rather gay priests wnl the vatican. And so there is a historical precedent to that. So many people, in fact, do take these reports very seriously despite the vigorous denials from the vatican. Ben wedeman, thanks so much, from rome. Keep us posted. A cardinal who will vote for a new pope is tied up in a melszy legal deposition today here in the states. Cardinal roger mahony, one of the most powerful catholic leaders in the u. S. , must answer questions about pedophile priests in the Los Angeles Diocese during his leadership. Church documents seem to show that mahony was aware of priests abusing children but went out of his way to shield them from prosecution. The deposition gets under way this afternoon. And weatherwise, more snow for new england this weekend, barely two weeks after that huge blizzard. The same weather system brought record snowfall across the midwest. The roof of this dance school right there near kansas city simply caved in. No one thankfully was hurt. Karen maginnis is in the cnn weather center. Here we go again, especially for the new englanders. Yes, and were watching boston in particular, fred key rooe ka, because boston this month alone has seen 32 inches of snow. Weve got this live view of boston. It is overcast, and were looking at that snow to develop later on this afternoon, probably into the late afternoon, 5 00, 6 00. Well keep the overcast skies. It play start out as kind of a mix with rain, snow, could be a little built of sleet in there. I dont think the winds will be a problem. They may be gustier tomorrow, but boston, ill show you whats happening. Area of low pressure develops off the midatlantic coast, moves towards the northeast. This is a noreaster. Its just not as powerful as the last one that we saw. On the backside of this well see some snow, interior secs of new england, more snow, higher up, more snow elevation. But right around boston it has been so, so tricky because the computer models are saying all kinds of different things. Couple of inches of snow, a lot of snow. Its kind of been compacted down to about 2 to 4 inches, but definitely new england is kind of in the firing line for that next weather system. The midatlantic and the southeast where youre looking at the potential for very heavy rainfall, and i do mean very heavy. Heres that forecast as i was telling you about, the accumulation in the northeast and new england. We do have flood watches, Flood Warnings, and that Flood Warning out across southeastern alabama, watch out. Those roads are going to be slick. And as we go into the forecast 4 to 6 inches of rain the next five days, and yes, fredricka, that w includes daytona. 60 . Hopefully they can kind of dodge those rain drops. All right. Thanks so much. All right. Oscar pistorius, hell be back in court june 4th. But this weekend the olympic hero is staying at his uncles house. He was released on 112,000 bail, but there are conditions. He cant return to his house. He must report twice a week to a plys station. He must surrender his passport. He cant eve gone near an airport. And no alcohol. Senior International Correspondent Nic Robertson is live for us in johannesburg, south africa. Much relief, might it be temporary, though, for Oscar Pistorius, who gets a chance to stay at a relatives home . Reporter yeah, a little relief for his family. Weve heard from his uncle, the man whose house hes staying in at the moment. Its a house in a wealthy neighborhood in pretoria. There are high walls around it, big gates around it. Parole officers turned up there early this morning. What the family is saying is its good to have him back at home. There is relief. Its brought them together as a family. They never thought they would have to go through anything like this, but they all recognize that their lives are changed irreversibly at this stage. Theyve sent flowers and a card to Reeva Steenkamps family. Her family at this time, though, seem a little bit perhaps frustrated that hes been able to get bail. They say they just want to see justice done. Not sure what to feel in the case. They just want to know the truth, and whatever happens, its not going to bring her back, you know . They just want justice and the truth. Well, one of the countrys afrikaans newspaper has quoted Reeva Steenkamps father as saying that if Oscar Pistorius is lying or has caused his legal team to lie so far, then hes going to have to live with this on his conscience forever. He also said that if hes telling the truth, then he said maybe one day i can forgive him. But these are changed times now, the whole pistorius family and the Steenkamp Family and the nation watching attentively. An interesting day in court. The magistrate took two hours before finally announcing the decision on bail, et cetera. But along the way, the magistrate had some very harsh words for the investigation process. One has to wonder how that might influence decisions along the way during this legal process. Will it be the same magistrate the whole way through, potentially . Reporter it doesnt appear to be so. And the plys Investigation Team has changed or at least the head of the investigation has changed. The defense and prosecution, state prosecution, those lawyers will likely stay the same naps what we understand. But it does seem theres a lot for the state to do to prove this this case. The magistrate was really quite harsh on the plys investigation, contaminating the crime scene, not following up on key evidence, you know, had phone calls been made from the cell phones that were found in the bathroom near Reeva Steenkamps body. So a lot of very Big Questions outstanding there. But i think one of the reasons the magistrate went so long, theres been, you know, so degree of pressure to keep pistorius in jail, and i think he felt that wasnt right, but he wanted to lay out very clearly so no one could come back later and accuse him of sort of, just because pistorius is a star, of letting him get an easy path. He wanted to lay down legally thoroughly why he made the decision. Fredricka . Nick robertson, thanks so much. We eel talk about what lies ahead for Oscar Pistorius.

But here are the conditions of his bail. He cant go to his home where the shooting occurred. He must report to plys twice a week. He is to steer clear of all witnesses in the case and hand over his guns and passport, and he cant use drugs or even drink alcohol. Im joined now by dell kelly felts, who teaches law at the university of cape town in south africa. Good to see you. Youre joining us via skype. Hopefully we can hear you if not see you. So, now that pistorius is out on bond, how do you see that influencing the legal proceeding for him . Its very significant for him because he will have much more ample opportunity to engage with his defense team. And invariably that will put him in a far better position. Lit also put less pressure on his defense team to expedite the trial, the start of the trial, as he wont be spending the time before the trial in prison. So they definitely have got an easier road ahead in terms of their trial plan. Is he getting special treatment, in your view . I dont believe so. There were some very senior government ministers who went on camera yesterday claiming that he was getting special treatment. I would vehemently disagree with that. I think that the magistrates very long and reasoned decision that he issued showed the extent to which he considered both the relevant law and also both parties arguments that had been put forward. He applied the law in a fair and impartial manner and reached in my view the right decision. And i think anyone in his position, whether they were famous or not, should correctly have ended up in the same position. So help me understand what to expect. There would be no jury once trial were to begin. Correct . It would be one judge that would consider everything, hear and see all evidence . Yeah. Its possible and perhaps likely that the judge would request two assessors to sit with him or her. Assessors are essentially lay people that the judge can request to join the bench for the trial because they have either Extensive Knowledge of legal matters or because they have Specialized Knowledge in a particular area. So if the judge wanted to do that, they could request to have two assessors sit with them. But thats correct. In south africa we dont follow the jury system. So theres never the opportunity of a jury. Theres a lot of distrust of the plys work there in south africa as a whole. How about in the court system . Is it respected . Is it trusted . Well, id say its trusted to a certain extent, meaning the oh, and we were afraid Something Like that would happen. It looks like weve lost audio as well.

The deadbeat dad, as the new york man is being called, has been evading Child Support for over a decade and his total tab now over a million dollars. Robert sand owes all that money to his two former wives and his three kids. Former illinois plys sergeant Drew Peterson says he plans to appeal his 38year sentence for murder. He received that sentence this week for the killing of his third exwife, kathleen savio. The judge also denied petersons attempt to get a new trial. Peterson was transferred yesterday to a maximumsecurity prison. Savio was found dead in her bathtub back in march of 2004. The defense claimed that she fell, hit her head, and drowned. The case didnt grab headlines until petersons fourth wife, stacy, disappeared about three years later. Stacy still has not been found. And now to a murder case that fascinated the nation a decade ago. Youll remember 24yearold congressional intern chandra levy disappeared back in 2001 amid allegations of an affair with california congressman gary condit. Plys focused their investigation almost exclusively on condit, potentially overlooking other possible suspects. Levys body was found more than a year after her disappearance. In a ravine in washingtons rock creek park. Well, the case went cold for almost a decade until march of 2009 when plys arrested salvadoran immigrant igmar, who was already serving time for assaulting two women in the same park where Chandra Levys body was found. He was convicted back in 2010 of her murder and is currently serving a 60year sentence. Well, now he says his prosecution was, quote, predicated on a lie and he wants a new trial. Lets bring in our legal guys, avery friedman, good to see you, civil rights attorney and law professor in cleveland. This is like a reunion for here us. Oh, my goodnd. How wonderful to see you. Wow. And Richard Herman, new york criminal defense attorney and law professor joining me from las vegas. Good to see you guys. Hey, fred. Welcome back. Thank you. Look great. Thanks so much. So happy to have you back. Great to be back. Great to be talking with you guys. This is a fascinating case, has been all the while. And now were talking about documents from the case that will that have been unsealed. So avery, what did these documents reveal . Well, its a thermonuclear development, fredricka. This week two trimts were released and remember, this is three years after the conviction. The prosecution has been fighting to keep the trimts secret. The argument is that someone could be killed if it comes public but because of media and the defense team it surfaced. The information relates to whether or not there was evidence which would have impeopled a key witness. Which witness we dont know. We think its armando morales, who was the jailhouse informant in this case, but we dont know the answer. So theres going to be a hearing coming up on the 11th of april. Well see more information coming up, and it may result in a new trial. This is incredible, because, you know, richard, for a very long time it was, you know, unsolved, and then it was sort of solved, and now questions still surround it. So are we talking act potentially reopening this case top to bottom . Oh, yeah, top to bottom, fred. They focus entirely on gary condit. That was their target. He was in the bullseye. They didnt look at any other possibilities. Then when that went dry, they slapped together this conviction based on, based on a jailhouse informant snitch. His testimony was the one ha did it. Nothing else and that was the primary piece of evidence . That was it. No dna, nothing, just this jailhouse snitch trying to get out of prison. And now apparently, as avery said, theres some bombshell information that undermines it, the defense says that the prosecution knew about this for at least a year, didnt disclose it. Thats unethical. Sounds right. Sounds like theres going to be a new trial here, fred. We may be reliving this again. Next case, former penn state assistant football coach jerry sandusky, now, hes appealing his conviction. Again, the move comes less than a month after a judge denied his motion for a new trial. This time around, sandusky, well, hes serving a 30 to 60year sentence for sexually abusing ten boys over a 15year period. Richard, do his attorneys have new reasons now to pursue this appeal . No. They dont have any new reasons, fred. They already filed their post conviction briefs. The judge who tried the case made his decision on those. He denied everything. And now it goes up to the appellate division, to the appellate judges in pennsylvania, the same arguments will be made about they should not have allowed some hearsay testimony, that the jury instructions were faulty, that the defense did not have enough time to prepare the case. All thats going nowhere. The jury came back on a flash verdict. I think 45 out of 48 counts conviction. And, you know, hes fourth and 99 1 2, trying to throw a bomb. Not kwoigoing to happen. This guy will probably die in prison. Does it make a difference if the appeal is a made to a different judge, a Different Court all together . Well, thats the process, but whats intriguing is the underlying legal reasoning. The argument by joe amendola, the lawyer for sandusky, is look, under the sixth amendment, there has to be a fair trial. There were 9,500 roughly documents involved. I didnt have enough time to prepare. A terribly weak argument. There was a 28page opinion written by the judge who tried the case. Now theyre arguing again we didnt have enough time to prepare. It didnt violate does this argument ever work after the fact, not enough time to prepare, like once the verdict is in . Isnt that the argument you make before you get that to that juncture . Yeah. Does it ever work . Basically, thats it. You throw everything up against the wall and hope something sticks. But hes being criticized for ineffective assistance of counsel. 30 to 60 years. Hell die in prison. All right. Well talk to you again. Were not done with you guys. Another set of cases to delve into in about 20 minutes and pictures. And pictures. Got to share. Okay.

These are the top stories were following for you in the cnn newsroom. The vatican is slamming media reports in italy about why Pope Benedict redecided to resign. Two publications say it happened the same day the pope received a bombshell a300page vatican dossier documenting homosexuality in the priesthood. A vatican spokesman calls the report gossip intended to influence the upcoming vote for a new pope. And we now know the identity of another victim of that deadly shooting and car crash on the las vegas strip. Our affiliate komo reports Sandra Sutton was the passenger in that taxi and it burst into flames after a maserati crashed into it. The crash also killed the taxi driver. Someone in a black range rover opened fire on the maserati early thursday, killing the driver of the maserati, and he has been identified as aspiring rapper kenneth cherry. Pl polis are hunting for ok you pants of the range rover. The governor insists there is no Immediate Public Health risk but says it is disturbing. Now to that bizarre discovery of a womans dead body found in a water tank at the cecil hotel in los angeles. Po lishgs ce are searching for answers. She is a canadian tourist reported missing in late january. Her death is another strange tale in this hotels dark past. Reporter in a city of the famous and those who would be famous, the cecil hotel is best known for its infamy. Founded in the 1920s, the hotel sit in downtown los angeles, just a stones throw from skid row. The neighborhood around the cecil has changed over the decades, but despite the citys best efforts to gentrify it, the hotel remains a symbol of the areas dark past. Thank you for calling the europeanstyle cecil hotel, the best Affordable Hotel in downtown los angeles. Reporter calling itself the premier choice of downtown hotel, it attracts mostly lowincome residents. In the 50s and 60s, it was known as a place where those at the end of their rope would end their life. In 1985, it was the choice hideout for serial killer richard ramirez, convicted of killing at least 13 people throughout los angeles. Ramirez reportedly lived at the hotel for months. An austrian serial killer also found comfort there. Jack underweeker may have even killed some of his prostitute victims there. Its rumored the black dahlia hung out in the hotel before her brutal murder in 1947. Rand now this, the decomposing body of a canadian tourist found in one of the hotels water tanks. Guests were noticeably upset. Wouldnt you be if there was dead body in the water you were using and drinking . Reporter canadian tourist alisa lamb chose the hotel despite it seedy past. Her body may have been there for weeks. The pressure was terrible, and when you turn the tap on, the water was coming black first. Reporter just the latest mystery for a hotel with a haunted past. That was nick valencias voice you were hearing. Here he is live. Are investigators any closer to solving this case . Good afternoon, fred. The short answer is no. There was an autopsy earlier this week that proved to be inconclusive so officials still arent able to determine whether she died accidentally or perhaps was the victim of something more sinister. They are waiting on toxicology reports. That, of course, though, could take weeks and her family and others will have to wait a little longer to find out why and how alisa lamb died. What about other surveillance tape . We keep looking at that tape of her in the elevator where it doesnt really look like shes evading someone, hiding, et cetera. Are there any other cameras somewhere around the building that investigators or l. A. Police are saying that ear looking into . Shes acting very bizarre, isnt she, in in tape released by the Los Angeles Police department. So far that is the only surveillance tape thats been leased of her. We just dont know why she was there. One of her High School Classmates spoke to ctv, one of our canadian affiliates, and said she was on holiday on vacation in Southern California with her eventual destination being about five hours north in santa cruz. She was reported missing in late january. And, fred, if you can believe this, she could have been in there in that water tank as many as 19 days. It is gruesome. Thanks so much. Nick valencia.

But doing a little sprinkler move right there, dressed up as a mom in what theyre calling the evolution of mom dancing. Go, girls. Already, drivers, start your engines. And lady drivers, as well. Danica patrick in pole position to make racing history. We take you to daytona. How do you keep an older car running like new . You ask a ford customer. When they tell you that you need your oil changed you got to bring it in. If your tires need to be rotated, you have to get that done as well. Jackie, tell me why somebody should bring theyre car here to the ford dealership for service instead of any one of those other places out there. They are going to take care of my car because this is where it came from. Price is right no problem, they make you feel like youre a family. Get a Synthetic Blend Oil change, tire rotation and much more, 29. 95 after 10. 00 rebate. If you take care of your car your car will take care of you. Danica patrick can say she is the first woman to win the pole position at the daytona 500 and tomorrow no doubt she wants to be able to say shes the first woman in history to win the race. Joe carter is there, excited about it, just like all the fans. So how is she kind of, you know, relaxing, if she can . Getting that inner spirit ohm before the big race tomorrow. Reporter yeah. She hasnt had much time to relax, i can tell you that much, fredricka. Shes been very busy doing lots and lots of interviews, obviously. And, you know, the approach for team patrick this weak has really been about preserving the car. On sunday, of course, she came out as the fastest car among the other 42 drivers so they looked at it as, hey, we dont want to wreck this car, we dont want to give ourselves less of a chance of winning the daytona 500 on sunday, so she preserved the car. She had the option to race today during a practice session. She decided to keep her car in the garage. She is going to race, though, in the nationwide race, which is going to start in about 30 minutes. So she will be running, but it will be in a different car, her nationwide car. So the tactic is save the fastest car in the field for the biggest race in this sport, which, of course, is tomorrow, freld reika. Wow. Trevor made his history last year at daytona and, well, shes already made some history. Has she expressed whether she feels a tremendous amount of pressure, you know, to stay out in front tomorrow or is that going to be pressure coming from within anyway . She wants to win, of course. Thats what she said yesterday in her final press conference is she puts, you know, her own pressure on herself, that she doesnt have to worry about what the media says or what fans say or even her competitors, that she puts enough pressure on herself already and she expects to win this race. She is a rookie. This is her first full season at nascars top level, but she says she expects to win this race and expects to compete and beat the 42 other men out in the field. You know, we we expect her to do well tomorrow. Obviously off to a great start. They couldnt have scripted a better start this week, obviously compared to last year when she crashed in qualifying and crashed in the second lap of the daytona 500. Shes off to a great start, but well see what happens tomorrow when she fires it up. I like some of the other drivers are trying to refrain from being too envious, jeff gordon saying, hey, im the fastest guy, since he gets to be, you know, number two. All right. Well see, you know, how cordial everyone is once drivers start their engines tomorrow. Thanks so much. Keep us posted throughout the afternoon from daytona. Thank you.

Thats what drivers in connecticut will be hit with if a proposed ban goes into effect. Avery friedman in cleveland, Richard Herman in los angeles. This guy says its not a case of government butting into other peoples lives but is like other safety requirements like seattle belts, cell phones, child restraint seats, children wearing helmets. It makes sense. Its common sense, the right thing to do. What do you guys think . Is this a government overreach . Will it stay in park or drive . Airy, you first. Well, thats exactly the issue. I mean, is it too much and, you know, i grew up choking on my mothers cigarettes. I get this issue. But the question here, is it overreach or is it the function, the proper function, of government to really look into the science of whats going on. There are legislative hearings going on in connecticut right now on this very question, and you know what, i think its likely that youll see this law enacted because the science supports the detrimental effect of cigarette smoking in a car even if the windows are open. And believe it or not, fredricka, this is not the first time. There are six other states that actually have similar legislation. I think youre going to see more and more of this at the state level. Really, theres no argument here about the dang dangers of second hand smoke. Itis a case of where you may practice this or where you may decide, you know, to do your own thing, richard. So this isnt the only state thats trying to do this. There have been other states that have tackled it and have come up with bans of smoking in cars. Youre looking at the map here. Arkansas, california, louisiana, hawaii, maine, and maryland. Why would it be any different for connecticut to get on board . It wont be different. The question is should states legislate parental responsibility . Seat belts, cell phones, thats different. But when you say this is how to be a better parent for the safety of your children, is this what we want states to do. Thats the issue. I think its going to pas. I xlu groou up in the 60s. Those windows were shut. Sheila, there was a lot of smoke in the car. I made it, im here. But its a disgusting habit. Theyre not going to pull people over and say youre smoking, there appears to be a child in the car. Its 7 years and younger. And if you get pulled over for Something Else and you happen to be smoking with a child in the car, youll get a ticket for that. Thats how its going to be implemented. Lets shift gears so, to speak, faceoff between witches and lawyers. A federal Appeals Court in california have to decide if wiccan inmates deserve their own chaplain. The followers worship nature and are also involved often in witchcraft. A group of wiccan, you know, prisoners say that they deserve a fulltime chaplain just like followers of all other major faiths, a Trial Court Judge has dismissed p wiccans lawsuit, but the Appeals Court brought it back this week. Aichry, you say, you know, there are a number of wiccans in prison. And i guess thats what is at the core here as to whether they will get their way. Right . Well, thats exactly right. In terms of the constitutional cases of the week, i think this is number one, because it deals with the First Amendment and the socalled establishment clause meaning government cant establish religion, force religion. Theyre arguing the wiccan practitioners, look, there are chaplains for catholics and property assistants and muslims, mainstream. How about us . Theyre arguing there are more wiccans than many mainstream prisoners. Whats going to happen . It goes back to the trial court. The california Penal Institution has to do the survey. And if theyre right, if theyre right, then the wiccan practitioners will actually get their fulltime chaplain. Well see. We dont know the answer right now. Richard, do you agree with that . If there are a lot of wiccans, this wont be a tough argument. Well, its a legitimate argument, and the initial judge who heard the case said, listen, im not going to preclude you from practicing your wiccan whatever it is, you can do that, but were not going to follow a fulltime chaplain for you. You can get parttime chaplains to come in and see them, but were not going to spend money in the state of california, which is already bankrupt, to hire more wiccan chaplains for their prisons. Now on review, the standard, the constitutional standard and the legal argument is sound, fred. So i think youre going to see a wiccan chaplain hired fulltime for these prisoners. Well see. We will see. I cant say, you know, how great it is. I cant say it enough how great it is to be back with you guys after almost three months being away.
