was it because you were afraid of your job? mcqueary looked at him and said, you owe me more respect than that. george? >> okay, jim. let's bring in dan abrams for more on this. what a devastating day for the defense. what do they do after a day like that? >> it's tough to figure out where they go from here. because there are more witnesses coming forward. they have tried to attack witnesses' credibility, saying that their stories have changed. that memories have faded. they may have motives to lie. but it doesn't seem to be really that effective because you've got so many different witnesses coming forward. remember, we talked a lot about mcqueary leading into this case. and he is absolutely crucial. he is the linchpin when it comes to the downfall of the penn state officials. but when you compare his testimony to that of all these accusers, who are saying, i didn't have to witness it, i was there. >> and breaking down in tears on the witness stand. you saw jurors breaking down in tears. the defense comes back and says, are you in this for the money? it didn't seem to cut. >> it doesn't seem the jurors are believing that. if you've got jurors in tears over the testimony of an 18-year-old who is talking about what he says happened to him, that would seem to indicate that they believe that testimony, which is terrible news, of course, for sandusky's defense team. >> we're getting more hints, perhaps, that sandusky might take the stand. >> it's the hail mary, if they do it. meaning, it would suggest that things are going so badly for the defense, that even though he gave some of the worst media appearances ever, that they might risk putting him on the stand. if that's the case, that tells you how desperate this defense team is because in any other case they wouldn't. >> that would be amazing. dan abrams, thanks very much. >> all right. george. now, to the latest in the trayvon martin case. shellie zimmerman, george zimmerman's wife, arrested and accused of lying about how much money the couple had at her husband's bond hearing. and abc's john schriffen has the latest. >> reporter: these mug shots are the first images ever released of 25-year-old shellie zimmerman. was remaining in hiding since her husband shot and killed trayvon martin. police say shellie turned herself in and posted $1,000 bond after spending an hour in jail tuesday. >> it seems pretty clear to me that this is not necessarily something they would normally do in a normal case. >> reporter: the couple is in trouble for lying during this bond hearing. she testified that the couple could not afford a hefty bail. but later it was learned that they lied about their income, allegedly speaking in code about donations made to this website. >> they were using code words, thinking the police would be real stupid. >> reporter: after george zimmerman's bond was revoked, his attorney says the incident was a misunderstanding. >> it's not like they were trying to hide the money or leave with the money. they just had it. >> reporter: legal analyst mark lippman says this could be a way to force zimmerman to take a plea deal. >> they could say we won't prosecute your wife if you agree to a charge. >> reporter: and george zimmerman's lawyer visited his client in jail overnight. says he is very concerned for his wife's safety, now that her picture is out in the public. and our legal analyst says, if she is convicted, robin, she could face up to five years in jail. >> serious time. john, thank you. to politics, now. and the win by ron barber we told you in the race for the seat of gabby giffords. good news for democrats in a tough month for the white house. this morning a new abc news, washington post poll said key voters are not buying what the president is selling on the economy. it's "your voice, your vote," with abc's jake tapper. and, jake, the grumbling in democratic ranks is getting a lot louder. >> reporter: it sure is. top democrats are sounding the alarm. they're worried that president obama's economic message is tone-deaf. the ragin' cajun is raging again. and the message is the same as it was in 1992. it's the economy, stupid. but this time, democratic consultant james carville is aiming that message at his own party. he's very worried that president obama's current economic message to voters will only help mitt romney win. >> i'm worried that when the white house and the campaign talks about the progress being made, people take that as a signal they think things are fine. and people don't feel they ought to believe that. >> reporter: as the president did overnight, campaigning in battleground state, pennsylvania. >> we are in a stronger position. we're moving in a better direction than when i took office. >> reporter: carville desperately wants president obama to win. but he says the president should acknowledge how bad things remain for millions of americans because of the recession that began in 2007. carville says president obama should focus his message on what he wants to do if given a second term. >> they want to be reassured he understands the depth of the problem and that he has a plan to deal with the deterioration of the middle class. >> reporter: mr. obama has work to do. in a new poll, swing of independents have a negative view of the president's plans for the economy. 54% negative to 38% positive. mitt romney's scores aren't as bad. 47% negative to 35% positive, with more undecided voters. meaning romney has less criticism and more room to maneuver. >> i think people recognize that the president may be well-meaning. but he's just out of touch with what's happening across the country. >> reporter: george, on thursday, president obama will go to cleveland where he will deliver a major economic address. aides say, it will be a framing address. he will present the contrasting economic visions of his second term versus a president mitt romney. george? >> he may be edging in the direction that carville was just calling for. >> reporter: exactly right. >> jake, thanks very much. now, to the bitter legal battle over the estate of a superstar artist. thomas kinkade, the man who made a fortune, selling paintings of scenes of kozy homes in the woods, that you see right there. now, there's a war over his fortune. amy robach with the details on this. >> reporter: good morning, robin. he was one of the most famous american artists and perhaps the most collected. 1 in every 20 u.s. homes owns a copy of a thomas kincade painting. now, that fortune fought over in a nasty dispute. he was known as the painter of light. a far cry from the ugly scene unfolding in a california courtroom, where thomas kinkade's wife and mistress are battling over his estate, for an estimated $66.3 million. the 54-year-old painter was dating amy pinto walsh when he died this past april of an alcohol and valium overdose. he had been separated for two years from his wife of 30 years, nanette kinkade. she claims they give her the artist mansion and $10 million to establish a museum of his original paintings. >> assuming that he did that, the fact that was his document, in his handwriting, if he wrote it, i would venture to say there would be a good chance that she would get some portion of the real estate. >> reporter: pinto walsh wants the dispute heard in open court. his wife wants a private arbitration. >> will you let the judge make the decision? that's the only fair thing to do. >> are you thinking of going to arbitration? >> we need to wait for the judge. >> reporter: pinto-walsh said that she and kinkade were in love and planned to get married as soon as his divorce was finalized. claiming they even shopped for an engagement ring. lynette kinkade claims pinto walsh is nothing more than a gold-digger, intent on fleecing kinkade's estate. and the feud between the two women began early on when kinkade died in april. pinto walsh was banned from the private funerals. another hearing is scheduled for july 2nd. more to come. >> stay tuned. amy, thank you. you ready for good news? >> let's do it. >> everybody does not want to miss the next story. of all the great moments at all the graduations in america this year, this one may be the most inspiring. it was 17 years in the making. >> it's going to be a really cool moment. a really cool moment. >> reporter: that's patrick ivison. when he was 14 months old, a car backed over him in a parking lot, paralyzing him from the waist down. >> it happened in an instant. the car backed up suddenly, it clipped him, knocked him down. >> reporter: but that never held patrick back. he became a competitive surfer. and three years ago, he made a pledge, that he would walk at his graduation, no matter what. tlfrjts is always that, oh, i've got all of america expecting me to get through this. >> reporter: and last night, with trainer and service dog behind him, patrick made good on his promise. >> patrick a. ivison.

>> all right, ryan. let's bring in our legal team from atlanta. there's nancy grace, host of hnl's nancy grace. and dan abrams here. i'm going to start with you, dan. it's hard to keep up now. >> when you think about what happened, it's more bizarre, right. this is someone they tried to kill three times. someone that goes to the house, riddles the house with bullets. she survives. wasn't there. the next time, they miss her. then, they move. they move out of this house because they're like, wait a second. why is someone riddling the house with bullets. and at the apartment complex, someone goiz after her again and shoots her in the stomach. now, the allegation, the mistress who orchestrated this, is now trying to kill the husband? i mean, this case is a mess, and that's the bottom line. >> nancy, to say it's a huge setback is a huge understatement, isn't it? >> it's a huge setback for the state because she, the mistress, is the state's chief witness in the case against the high-profile lawyer, jeffrey stern. but there's other evidence against him, as well. there's a hitman that places him in a parking lot. he flashes the money he pays the hitman. there's a flurry of phone activity between the lawyer husband and the mistress during the time of one of the shootings. but here's the real deal -- sure. she probably did plan to kill the husband because she is a killer. you put your hand in a jar with a rattlesnake in it and you're surprised it tries to bite you. yeah, she probably did it. but that doesn't mean he's innocent. >> now, you have -- remember, the wife is supporting him. i mean, that's what makes this case so hard. not only do you have the problem that the chief witness may be trying to kill the -- stern, you also have the fact that his wife is on his side. meaning, she's the alleged victim here. think about that. she's the one they tried to kill three times. and she's saying, this is my man. >> i think you can leave out the alleged. she got shot in the stomach. she's absolutely the victim here. the fact that she still wants to believe her husband is in love with her and had nothing to do with it, i don't find that unusual. i find that denial. a lot of us have been in denial before. >> she said in the interview to chris cuomo, it was an affair. i'll give you that. you think? you know? >> going back to the exmistress -- nancy, for a minute. the prosecution had struck a deal with her. this letter's true, that has to be off the table, right? >> well, i would think that they can, if they want to, they could go forward with that deal and then charge her in this case. they're going to be, possibly, attacking the letter. it came from an inmate who may want a deal herself. but in my mind, when you hear the tone of this letter, to me, it sound s genuine. and also, new details about the case that many people wouldn't have known. >> these deals are contingent upon not violating the law. you have to offer truthful testimony. there's all sorts of requirements. they can -- no? that's not true? or no -- >> no. they are not based on not abiding the law because you're doing a deal with the rat to start with. >> but the rat came -- >> of course she's going to violate the law again. that's a given. >> what does that mean? >> the problem is that, it's going to hurt -- because a killer is a killer is a killer. a criminal is a criminal. a rose is a rose. >> oh. i -- in law school, i must have missed that course. the rose is a rose course. i didn't -- >> that was shakespeare. a rose is a rose, and smells as sweet, if by another name. >> right. >> but truthful testimony is what the deal hinges upon. >> yes. >> i don't know if a jury's going to believe her. but i don't need her to prove the case against the lawyer. >> well -- >> that's what i was going to say. can the case move forward? >> i don't know. nancy may be a pretty great prosecutor if she doesn't need her to prove this case. i think you absolutely do need her. this is a case that's falling apart. >> all in the same pot and let them stew together. >> all right there, nancy grace. >> nancy shakespeare grace. >> thank you, nancy. back over, now, to sam. >> life has to be easier than that, robin. that story is really too complicated. let's start with pictures probably not in your travel p brochure. venice, italy, a tornado. do they call it tornado alley of europe?
