Gold medalist ryan lochte and three of his swimming teammates say they were held at gunpoint when men posing as police swarmed their taxis. Abcs matt gutman is in rio with the latest. Good morning, matt. Reporter hey, good morning, robin. No doubt this is a gorgeous city but rio may also be the most crimeridden city in which an olympics has been held in modern times and everything had gone more or less smoothly until that lochte robbery which set the entire Olympic Village on edge. Ryan lochte, one of the most decorated swimmers in history with 12 career olympic medals, said he was this a taxi with teammates after an opening out when suddenly men in Police Uniforms flashed badges and pulled them over. Lochte had been partying and posing for pics with snowboarding great shaun white at this club. He says the men demanded the swimmers get on the ground. I refused.

Reporter the assailants took only their money but the incident sending shock waves through rio. I kind of said, excuse me. I mean i couldnt believe it. Reporter the International Olympic committee initially denying the incident took place. They said they spoke to lochte and said it wasnt true. Reporter then retracting it saying lochte had changed his story. Incidents occurring almost daily here.

Now, lochte so good in the pool may now be in hot water and olympic officials suggesting he misled them at least initially about what really happened yesterday. Guys.

I love them. Stay cool with breathable underwear from fruit of the loom. Tag, youre it. Yes new gogurt writeon tubes. This back to school, say it with gogurt. Although just 4 foot 8, simone biles is packed with power. Thats why she trusts tide pods. She knows small can be powerful. Welcome back. Its time for our big board. Our team of insiders is live for more on this mornings top stories and dan abrams is here at the desk with us, hes going to weigh in. I think a couple of stories youll weigh in. But first, the outrage over comparisons to the Brooke Turner trial at stanford. A former university of colorado student convicted of Sexual Assault given what many are calling a lenient sentence, two years in jail and probation, legal analysts areva martin will join us and also like the stanford case, the colorado victim, boy, the letter that she wrote and she said this to the judge. This is what she said in part to the judge. I have it right here. The rapist as he did for me the night of the Sexual Assault which was none and then the judge with that sentence. What do you make of this, areva . You know, i think theres a lot of anguish in this country around the way rapists are being convicted and this case was so powerful, the Statement Given by this young woman so powerful. The only opportunity for the judge to hear from her, to hear how this rape impacted her life and to weigh in on the sentence and then to get two years work release, i think m robin. Areva, let me ask you, though, a lot of outrage about this sentence, how unusual is this, though . Is this happening more than we think . Theres some data out there that suggests that only 3 of rapists will actually spend time in jail. That report has come under attack but i think its pretty clear that rapists on College Campuses fare better in terms of sentencing than those that are involved in rapes or convicted of rapes outside of the college need to look at in this country. And College Students have been talking about this on campuses all across the country, ill ask you this, dan, why is that the case . Why does that seem to be more lenient, dan . Look, i think were seeing a lot more coverage of this now which is actually a good thing, right, exposing the criminal Justice System for what it is both the good and the bad can be very helpful. Here youre talking about the possibility of 4 years to 12 years and he gets this lenient sentence. No question this is bew level, i think most expected. Talking about exposing the criminal Justice System. This next headline, surprise twist making a murderer case, a federal judge overturning the convicted of Brendan Dassey who was found guilty in 2007 along with his uncle steven avery of murdering Teresa Halbach and both sentenced to life in prison. The judge saying his confession was coerced. Heres a look at some of it. Look at this. Your mom said youd be honest with us. Dan, were you surprised . I was surprised not because of the reasoning, meaning i agree with the judge entirely. What makes this so surprising is you have a federal court here stepping in and saying, yes, i know this worked its way through the state court. Yes, this is a state court crime. But this is such an unreasonable decision and raises such fundamental constitutional questions, that im going to throw it out. Thats what makes it so unusual in this case and why it was a surprise to many of us, including those who think that Brendan Dassey is totally innocent. And what about steven avery . This does not help avery. All these people say, oh, so steven avery will be the next one. If you actually read the judges opinion, the judge sort of presumes in this opinion that the evidence against steven avery is valid. Ve any impact on his case, to certainly not a positive impact. His lawyer will file a separate motion in a separate case and i think hes still got an incredibly uphill battle. Yes. You want to lighten things up . Lets do it. Okay, now to that big adele news during a sold out concert. She shot down rumors that she would be performing at next years super bowl halftime show. Take a look at what she said. First of all, id like to tell you that im not doing the super bowl. Well, come on, i mean, come on. That show is not about music. And i dont really cant dance or anything like that. They were very kind. They did a i cant dance. Yeah, very well. The nfl and pepsi says they had conversations with several artists but they have not extended a formal offer to anyone. Joining us now is howard bragman, howard, the super bowl halftime show is a big deal. What do you make of what adele said . I think adeles got a very good sense of self because the super bowl halftime show, i happened to be there last year on the field with my client, about intimacy even in a big arena, shes about her voice, its about intimacy, its not fireworks, not dancing and probably the right decision for her. Left shark dancing when she sings hello, left shark when shes singing. Howard we can try that but, you make a good point, howard. I was at the Staples Center last week. Theres two stages there but all she does is sing, i say that, its adele. It was sold out, eight shows. She makes a good point when she says the super bowl is really abou she knows where she fits. Its hard to turn it down, theres 125 Million People watching in the u. S. Alone. Its the largest musical venue in the world. But she knows herself and thats why you got to respect her so much. Much respect. Okay, i know how you dropped a line. Your client was there last year. How about you, areva, who would you want to see at the super bowl perform . Kendrick lamar would be my choice. Done and done. Thank you all, thank you all very much. Thanks to areva, dan and howard. Coming up in two minutes, the olympians scoring more than gold.

Lets go back to t. J. At the olympic desk. Who is it, t. J. . Yeah, robin, wouldnt it be cool . Well never see usain bolt jump in the water and race phelps or phelps go to the track and race bolt so well never see them head to head so lets put them head to head in terms of money and in this race unlike some of their athletic competitions its kind of close. They are the fastest men on usain bolt. Reporter and in the water. Phelps has grabbed the lead.

All right, one other note here about the u. S. Athletes. For a gold medal you get 25,000 from the u. S. You know, in prize money. Over time, that would be about 575,000 that Michael Phelps has made just in the 23 gold medals but he gets taxed on that so he gets hit pretty hard so youre not going to get rich that way necessarily, even though hes not doing bad, but the endorsements certainly put them over the top. Thats how we say welcome home. Just like us paying taxes. Hey, rio, gio t. J. , well get back to you in rio. You would think i was there, not you. But on the wheaties box, the final five, right.

Everyone was expecting simone biles to dominate on the vault and did exactly what she planned on doing and looked phenomenal out there, even leading up to the vault, she looked relaxed. I would have to say the olympian that went for a seventh time, i think shes done the 41yearold, she did the best job that she could, impressive to watch but shes done, and i love seeing madison on the bars. Russia took gold, but shes going to be around for a little while. Yeah, shes young, shes young, and then we have simone, aly and laurie in the final two competition, beam and floor exercise. What are we expecting . More gold. More gold from simone biles. Shes phenomenon on the balance beam. Shes got the most difficulty. Her floor routine is spectacular. Her biggest competition on the floor will be her teammate aly raisman. Could we see a medal sweep . No, only two on each event but could see a gold on beam and i hope laurie gets in there. This is her opportunity to shine and now a professional athlete so she wants to get out there. She is so lovely. Theyre kids. We saw that when you were talking to them about celebrity blake lively. They want who wouldnt want to go shopping with her . But how do you help keep them grounded because you and your teammates, youve done a wonderful job. There is a lot of attention a lot of our young audience are staring at the monitors at the final five. You know, the best advice i can give them and heard theyre had that same experience 20 years ago, and i remember when i walked into the Grocery Store and i saw myself and my teammates on a cereal box, and it was a surreal experience and my Grocery Shopping experience was like no other after that. I would say to these girls, number one, make sure they put kids in their life first. Give back to kids. It will make a difference. There is a touching story where i met Laurie Hernandez when she was very little and had her try on my olympic gold medal and took photos, and its still an inspiration for her today. She kept that photo. I know. Remember you can say no. Learn to say no. Make sure youre serving others, dont be used by anyone so stay true to who you are, your brand, your business, dont be led astray. And theres a lot of wolves out there, so, you know, be protected hopefully by your parents or good, loving families. They have good families there. Simone said shes so ready to come back and soak it in. Good for her. I think theyll also recognize their life has changed greatly and need to remember to keep the right people around them. The best advice i got was from my coach. She said youre not an nba and thats exactly what i did. Thats good advice there. That is great advice. And no is a complete sentence. Exactly. Can we take a shot of Dominique Dawes . She looks patriotic. Stand up. No, wed say very athletic. This is so not me. This is so not me.

People have said its been a heartbreaking experience but you came in here this morning, you almost kicked that door in with energy and just you didnt seem like somebody that was down. How are you dealing and processing with what did happen to you last week . You know, im definitely taking some time with it. By far its been the most disappointing ive ever been in any athletic performance so for that to line up at the olympics is not a deal obviously, but that positivity just comes from knowing that i did the best that i possibly could and it just wasnt my week. Its heartbreaking that all of the hard work and sacrifices i made just didnt show up. But i know that they will eventually, and i think im going to be so much stronger after this experience. We dont have to look for something, youre not injured. There was no issue or something. You just said sometimes it happens. I wish i could tell but thats sports. Sometimes you do everything you possibly can and its still not there but its those times you have to keep your head high and keep pushing forward. How big of a deal has it been to have your family close by . You have a squad here. Amazing, the franklin squad is in full force here and theyre the best.

Mom, director, actress, writer of this new project of yours but i want to go back to when you originally read the book and said, natalie, you could envision it the moment you were reading it. Yes, i read the book for the first time almost ten years ago and immediately i started seeing the film in front of my eyes and i knew that that had to be my first film to direct because it was so, so immediate in my mind. This particular story reminded you of the stories you had been told as a child. Yes, it was so similar to so many of the stories i had heard growing up because my family is from my fathers side is from israel and so i had heard so grandparents as refugees from europe in the 30s, late 30s coming to israel which was then british mandate palestine and its just that shock of what it is when youre an mcghie going to a place that is not anything like you expected it to be. Decipher between what was reality and these stories picked up and expanded upon over time. I know you wanted to make this and you went out and you thought ill find someone to help write it dont you just write it. Yeah, it was actually really empowering because i kept thinking, oh, ill find someone, a professional writer to write this and i kept meeting with people and they said you know how to do this, youre explaining what you want. So eventually i adopted it myself. Not only did she write this, she starred in it, you also directed it and im curious, when youre dregging yourself, how much have you taken from other directors that youve worked with in the past to then and is it easier to direct yourself . So i thought it would be harder than it was because theres actually something easier when you watch yourself and you want to change something, you dont have to figure out the words to use to explain it. You just do it. You know what you want and you just do it whereas with other actors you obviously have to find the language that will help them and i definitely took from directors i worked with in many ways, you know, Anthony Minghella who i worked with on Cold Mountain would have actors opposite you change their lines and i would do that with the arcs sometimes where youre offscreen you can Say Something that shocks them or scares them, there was a time when i wanted the little boy to be excited running out and i would tell him like, theres an Ice Cream Truck outside and hed just light up and go out. We just have a few seconds left but your little guy is 5. Uhhuh. And you embraced motherhood your work and wonder how it helped you on the set in making sure everyone was taken care of. It is actually quite parental role, i think, being a director because your job is to make everyone comfortable, make sure everyone is okay and also get the best out of them. Like how can you everyone courage them and support them to get the best out of them which is very much a parental role. Natalie, great to have you back on gma.
