Their daring highway truck robbery. Theres a couple of guys that look like they just got their hands zip tied behind their back. The Remote Control device disabling the drivers in a plot straight out of a movie. And the verdict is rich. The judge on vacation who reeled in a giant Lottery Jackpot chartering a jet to claim his winnings. What he did the minute he found out his life was changing forever. Hey, good morning. Were going to get to the overnight headline, the o. J. Story in just a moment, but we start here with a big day in a president ial campaign that wrooel well probably be talking about for generations. Thats a good point. There are five states in play today. The democratic side, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will compete in 3 states for 126 delegates, and sanders is fighting an uphill battle after a rough super tuesday. Meanwhile, on the republican side, 155 delegates up for grabs in 4 states. These contests come after what may be the wildest week yet in the campaign with the party in open warfare over this man, donald trump. And here he is overnight at a rally in louisiana. Look at that, holding a minime minus the binkie. The establishment trying to derail him. But can trumps momentum be slowed . We do have team coverage, and we start with abcs mary bruce in washington, d. C. , without the minime. Hi, mary. Reporter hi. Good morning. Well, thousands of conservatives will gather here today. This conference has been a must attend event for republican president ial candidates, but this morning, donald trump is changing things up once again. Overnight chaos at this donald trump rally in new orleans. Did you get him out . Wise guy. Get the protester out. Reporter his supporters clashing with protesters. Get him out. See, in the old days, it wouldnt take so long, folks. Were in a little bit of a different world today. Reporter this as trump clashes with the Republican Party. Millions and millions of people are coming to vote for the republicans and joining the Republican Party because of me. Reporter as Republican Voters in four states head to the polls, this morning the gop is in a war with itself. If hes our nominee, it will split the Republican Party and it will be the end of the modern conservative movement. Reporter the billionaires rivals and the republican establishment making a lastditch effort to stop trump as he barrels towards the nomination. There is no doubt if we remain divided, donald trump wins. Reporter john kasich predicting there will be no clear winner from the primary season at all suggesting the gop is heading to a contested convention. You think its going to be a brokered convention. I do. I do. Reporter and this year trump snubbing the years biggest gathering, cpac canceling his appearance at the last moment amid rumors he was likely to face pushback. His rivals pounced. I think somebody told him megyn kelly was going to be here. Reporter and this morning there are just four republican candidates left. Ben carson announcing he is out. You know, theres a lot of people who love me. They just want to vote for me but its okay. Reporter now trump was slated to speak here first thing this morning but instead hes about to take the stage in kansas, one of those four States Holding its republican contest later today. Paula. Thanks, mary. We want to move now to the democrats. Hillary clinton has a chance to really widen her lead today over Bernie Sanders, and hes reminding voters of her inconsistencies and contradictions throughout her political career, and abcs david wright outside clinton headquarters in brooklyn with the story. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, paula. Thats the building right there behind me. Clintons campaign this weekend is actually managing expectations insisting that this time around, theyre the underdog. This morning, its do or die for Bernie Sanders. All bernie, bernie, bernie. Reporter the vermont senator still has huge crowds and getting lots of donations, but he also needs to catch up in the delegate count. Bring your friends and your relatives and your neighbors and your coworkers. Reporter today there are 126 delegates are up for grabs in louisiana, nebraska and kansas where bernie stopped at this barber shop to get a trim on the trail. No style. No style. Reporter Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, is taking aim at her republican rivals. Bill clinton too. At the republican president ial i dont know what to call it i guess debate, there were so many insults flying back and forth, it was hard to keep track. I thought i was watching a sixth grade recess fight and i didnt know what to make of that deal last night. I was just speechless. Reporter the problem is, the spectacle over on the gop side is turning out Republican Voters. Democrats seemingly less energized this year. On super tuesday more than 8. 5 million republicans got out to vote compared to fewer than 6 million democrats. Now, in addition to the three states today, theres also maine coming up tomorrow. 30 more delegates at stake. Three out of the four states voting this weekend are actually caucus states, and those have tended to favor bernie, dan. David wright, thank you. For more on all of this lets bring in abc news political analyst matthew dowd. Lets start with the republicans. So trump is now running up against the cpac convention, the conservative poohbahs, also mitt romney, also mccain. Can he be stopped . I think hes right now on a glide path. Hes not inevitable, but hes on a glide path. To me all of this is happening by the establishment of the party. Its a little bit like wiley e. Coyote against the road runner. They keep putting out acme explosives and the road runner hops over it, trump goes over it. They keep doing this thing. Its going to work and the thing falls and falls on themselves. Right now trump is in the drivers seat and today i think is an important day. Ted cruz especially has to win a couple of the states tonight, which he has a possibility of doing to slow any momentum of donald trump. Do you think were heading toward a contested convention . I think its 50 50 and i think today will be a part of it. If donald trump somehow wins three of four today, its a huge effort but michigan on tuesday is a big state if donald trump wins that, but i think as of today, its 50 50. Quickly on the democratic side, does Bernie Sanders have any viable path toward the nomination at this point in your view . He has a path, but i dont know how viable it is. I think at this point he has to win most of the states today. He has to win the states tomorrow, and he has to win some of the states on tuesday, but right now it looks like his campaign is becoming more of a Message Campaign than a campaign that thinks it actually can win the delegates. Matt dowd, we love having you here. , thank you, man. Thanks. And be sure to watch abcs world news tonight for up to the minute Election Results and continuing coverage and, paula, over to you. Yeah, we do want to move on to another big story that all of us are following this morning. A knife found at the old o. J. Simpson estate is being examined by authorities. Was it the knife that was used in the double murder case in what was called the trial of the century . This is a fascinating new development, and our matt gutman is on the scene for us this morning. Hi, matt. Reporter hey, good morning, paula. The lapd is working to glean whatever forensic evidence it can from that mud encrusted knife. The murder weapon has never been found, which is why the discovery of this knife has set in motion the o. J. Simpson circus yet again. It seemed the first lead in the o. J. Simpson case in years. The actual item is described as a knife. Reporter a frenzy of interest. Police say investigators are testing a knife. That was reportedly found reporter and the possibility of the knife used to murder simpsons exwife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend ron goldman in 1994 may have finally been found. Well, i was really surprised. Reporter police say a construction worker handed the knife allegedly found buried on the property to an offduty officer near the simpson estate in the late 1990s. At the time the house was being rebuilt. The now retired officers lawyer tells abc news he called the lapd to alert them that he had some sort of evidence but was told the case was closed. Is this another case of the lapd or an lapd officer mishandling evidence in the o. J. Simpson case . Well, i certainly hope not but it certainly is very concerning to us that a police officer, whether retired or active, would not know to submit and turn in evidence or what is believed to be evidence. Reporter what he held on to as a souvenir for 18 years likely isnt evidence at all. Sources telling us their initial investigation shows it couldnt be the murder weapon, the knife not matching the details of the crime. Investigators who worked intimately on the o. J. Simpson case say that over the years theyve received 150 knives. Some of them recovered during the demolition and reconstruction of this house. Still, authorities are testing the knife for possible dna evidence. It would be interesting if there were some evidence on that knife that pointed to who might have helped to bury it. Reporter the news breaking just as the new fx Series American Crime story the people versus o. J. Simpson is in full swing. Im not black. Im o. J. Reporter but it was too late to slow the tide of tweets and speculation. Now even supassuming o. J. Simpss dna is smeared all over that knife, there is only one person in the world who could not be put on trial for those murders, o. J. Simpson. That would be double jeopardy being charged with a crime that you have already been acquitted of. Paula. All right, matt, we do want to mention that o. J. Is serving time on an unrelated crime and he is eligible for parole next year. So, matt, thank you to you, and we want to dig deeper now with abc news consultant and former fbi special agent brad garrett in washington. Brad, good morning to you. Good morning. Okay, so as you heard in matts piece, Authorities Saying this is very likely not the knife that killed Nicole Brown Simpson and ron goldman. But theyre still testing it. So, is it possible after all these years, were talking about two decades later, that there is evidence on it . Absolutely. There could be dna, there could be evidence. There could be hairs and fibers that could be linked to the victims, to o. J. , to someone else. So despite the fact the knife may not be the correct size, you still have to go through the forensic testing. So theyre going through that forensic testing. Lets say that there is no dna evidence on it. So what are the other markers that they will be looking at . Well, first of all, you need to track the knife. Whats the ticktock of where it came from . How did the officer get in possession of it . Where was it found on the property . You also need to have someone else look at the knife because it could have predated o. J. The property has been there a long time, so its very important to follow the trail of where was it found on the property and what are the circumstances as to how the officer got it . All right, brad garrett. I want to thank you for your insight. So many are fascinated by this development this morning. Thanks for joining us. Of interest this morning. A lot of other news this morning, as well. And for that, as always, we get it over to dr. Ron claiborne. Good morning, sir. Hey, good morning to you, dan and paula, rachel. Good morning, everyone. We begin with new details on what might be on that locked iphone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters. The District Attorney in that area of Southern California says the phone belonged to syed farook and could have information about a possible third shooter and also a pose a cyberthreat. Apple, excuse me, is in a battle with the fbi refusing to create software that could unlock that phone. Farook and his wife killed 14 people in that terror attack. And new developments in the flint, michigan, water crisis. Construction crews have begun digging up the first pipes blamed for leaking lead in Drinking Water there. The city is looking to replace pipes in some 8,000 homes starting in neighborhoods where the household is most at risk from the lead. The city of 100,000 is under a federal state of emergency.

And two adventurers had to be rescued from the icy waters off of alaska because of dangerous weather. A coast guard helicopter swooping in to get the two british men to safety.

And a quick note here, im wearing this dark blue tie to recognize march is National ColonCancer Awareness month. This was pointed out by a viewer by the name of elaine neukom. Oh, thanks to elaine.

This is about as colorful as you get. Isnt it . This is a stretch. Dark blue tomorrow. All right. Im on it. All right. Thank you, ron. We want to move now to Sports Reporter erin andrews and her emotional courtroom battle. Closing arguments were heard yesterday. This case is now in the hands of the jury. She is suing a hotel and her stalker for 75 million over that secretly recorded nude video that was posted online and abcs eva pilgrim has been following this case for us from nashville where the deliberations are set to begin. Hi, eva. Reporter paula, a jury of seven women and five men will soon decide who is to blame for a naked video of erin andrews going viral online and if she is entitled to any money for what happened. Closing arguments in the erin andrews case, lawyers disagreeing on the damage done to her after that secretly recorded naked video went viral. Theres not a significant injury. What is the damage that has been sustained and has pay increased . What is it that you compensate the person for . Dont they get it. Not a significant injury . Where have they been during this trial . Reporter andrews suing her Stalker Michael Barrett as well as the owners and managers of that nashville marriott for 75 million claiming the hotel made it easy for barrett to get a room next door to hers so he could shoot video of her getting out of the shower. Barrett couldnt have done it without the negligence of the nashville marriott. Reporter the jury will soon have to decide whether barrett and the nashville marriott should pay for what she has gone through and, if so, how much. If she wins this case, as ugly as it sounds, these jurors will have to put a dollar value on her emotional pain and suffering. This could have been stopped. The nashville marriott could have just called me. We are putting this man that requested to be next to you, they could have stopped this. Reporter legal experts say the verdict in this case will send a message to both hotels and those who stay in them. Theres no question that if there was an enormous verdict here that the hotel and the Management Group had to pay, that it would send a serious message that you better be careful. Reporter now, the jury has taken the weekend off. They will return to court here on monday morning at 9 00 a. M. To begin deliberations. Dan. All right, eva, thank you. Lets check the weather now and meteorologist indra petersons. Good morning, indra. Good morning. Big story setting up out west and were talking about the atmospheric river.

When i was like 5, i caught a fluke and i called it good at that point. It was a fluke. Quite literally. All about the pan fish. Another reason for all of us to go fishing. A fishing trip to florida turned into a vacation of a lifetime for a pennsylvania judge shocked to hear that he was holding on to a winning Powerball Ticket worth more than 290 million. That was not a fluke, dan. Rachel smith here with more on his big payday and well tell you why rachel is here in just a moment, but lets hear more about this fishing trip and pit stop.

Reporter he stopped in this Convenience Store for some ice and that golden Powerball Ticket. I got goose bumps. Reporter the judge kept the ticket and headed home.

Reporter his next honorable decision was to immediately charter a private jet and fly back to florida, only this time with the two friends who share the winnings. Ive often said, boy, i wonder what it would feel like to hit a big lottery winning because i never win nothing and, well, i found out today. Reporter opting for the cash lump sum, theyll each get about 40 million. So cool. But check this out, ironically, the judges brother also claimed powerball winnings that day, just not as big. He took home a whopping 7. So close. Yeah, so close, but stocklas still fills in on the bench in the courtroom back home and says he plans on returning next month.

Moving on this morning to an entirely different note, some wild new details coming in about a brazen gold heist that really looks like something out of a movie. Robbers using gadgets and gizmos galore on a moving truck on a highway to steal almost 5 million in gold. Abcs Gloria Riviera joins us with all of the details. Good morning, gloria.

Welcome back, everyone. A lot of people dread doing their own taxes so they pack up their files, shoe box, shopping bag and then they head straight to a tax prep service. We should remind everybody 41 days from today tax day. Thats a great way to start your day. Many of those places, many of the companies you go to with all that tax stuff, they offer money back guarantees in case of mistakes, but heres the question. What if you run into trouble getting them to honor their word . Well, thats when you call the abc news fixer. Steve and Adrianna Rahal of boca raton, florida, would rather be out in the sunshine. We love it. Reporter than stressing over tax returns. This is where everybody hibernates to. Reporter for the past decade, steve and adrianna have used a local H R Block Office to file their taxes. So, were no strangers to them. Reporter h r block guarantees that if they make an error on your return, they will refund any penalties and interest, and for an extra 40, the rahals purchased a peace of mind plan which promises to pay some of the extra taxes you might owe because of an error. H r block will take full responsibility. Reporter sure enough, steve and adrianna got bad news, they were being audited. It was our worst nightmare. Weve never been audited in our life. Reporter the irs determined that the couples returns were miscalculated for two years and demanded more than 17,000 in back taxes and penalties but, remember, steve and adrianna had that h r block guarantee so they called their tax preparer about a refund. Every time i called, it was the same thing. You know, its pending headquarters. Can you tell me anything else . No, we cant. Reporter after five months no refund. So they made a calculated move and called in the abc news fixer. Our fixer and her team did the math checking out that h r block guarantee and extra protection the rahals bought, the fixer took it straight to h r blocks corporate offices, but the company came through with not only an apology for the taxing experience, they said this was a complicated situation to resolve, but also a refund of 9,800, the maximum steve and adrianna were entitled to. Its fixed. Thank you, abc news fixer. Theyre toasting you, stephanie zimmermann. By the way, stephanie is the the fixer actually has a name and its stephanie. And she joins us from chicago, so, first, stephanie, how often do errors occur on these tax returns . Yeah, well, you know, dan, consumer groups have done tests and have found error rates of 25 or more in their taxes. So, what can a consumer do . Well, you know, most states actually dont require any kind of special competency or training to be a tax preparer. So you really need to check the persons qualifications and ask up front what the fee is going to be, and finally make sure you understand that guarantee and read it so you know what it covers. Surprised to hear those requirements arent in place. Stephanie, thank you. Great advice, as always. And we should say, if you have a Consumer Problem for the abc news fixer, aka stephanie, you can find her at abcnews. Com fixer. She has already recovered 1. 7 million for frustrated consumers.
