Police on a massive manhunt for the shooters in the suv. And these shocking sects caught on tape on a moving ski lift. The teenager, falling four stories down, smashing into the side of the mountain. Hes okay. And revealing this morning, what caused his astonishing fall. And good morning, america. Happy friday to all of you. As we told you, robin will be pacing herself. She feels fantastic right now. But shes sleeping in this morning. A busy couple of days coming up. Shell be interviewing Michelle Obama and also going to the oscars. Great to have amy robach in this morning. Were going to be bringing you a special conversation between robin and diane sawyer, about what robin finds most liberating right now. Were looking forward to that. But we are also standing by for breaking news in the bail hearing of olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius. Well have that any moment. Were listening to whats happening inside the courtroom. Well bring that to you as soon as we have it. But lets get started with the blast of snow and cold that is making a mess of the morning commute for much of the country right now. Sam is tracking it all for us right now. Good morning, amy. Good morning, everyone. Its not just the snow and ice and cold youre talking about. When you add in the storm, its more than 1,100 miles worth of storm, from the great lakes to the gulf coast. Well start this morning with one of the tornadoes in mississippi and louisiana. We had them popping there. You can see it in the light area, across the field, the twitter pictures. The idea that four tornadoes possibly in that zone. We know that three have been reported. Now, were looking at storm damage that is eerily similar to a tornado in that east texas area. Looking at storm damage that came in overnight. It was strong, gusty winds. And the possibility of a tornado. In one county, sabine county, texas, where a woman was killed when a tree limb came down in her home. To the north, you see the winter watches and warnings still out. Chicagoland got their biggest hit of the season so far. 3. 1 inches of snow. But thats a lot for an area that hasnt seen snow and hasnt had it. One of the places buried with snow, were talking about kansas city. And thats where ginger zee is this morning. Good morning, ginger. Reporter you dont get piles of snow like this in kansas city often. They had more than nine inches. Some of the biggest snow theyve had in years. It happened from kansas to nebraska, now this morning, all the way to wisconsin and michigan. This morning, as the mammoth snowmaker marches east, it is sending cars sliding. And watch this bus as it tries to turn down this street. It fishtails and slams right into a light pole. In kansas thursday, the deluge of snow led to this rescue attempt. Planes, too, at a standstill. This one in wichita, dug out by hand. Its a mess out here. Its really a mess out here. Reporter and its not just how much snow is falling. But how fast. At times, up to three inches per hour. Then, theres this. Watch as lightning illuminates the skies in missouri. Creating a relatively rare winter combo. One that we caught on camera. Thats thundersnow. Ready . This morning, more than a fifth of the population in 20 states is waking up under this winter blanket and being urged to stay off the roads. Ginger zee capturing the thundersnow. The storm is developing so rapidly. You get a intensified cloud development. That creates the lightning and thunder. Its more likely to get it in the thunderstorm. Theres a new system that shoots off from the energy of that big one. That means its a mess for the weekend in parts of the northeast and midatlantic. Well go over who gets what so youre not surprised in regular weather. Now, Oscar Pistorius right now waiting to hear his fate. His bail hearing about to conclude. And bazi kanani is in pretoria, south africa, with the latest. Good morning, bazi. Reporter good morning, george. Oscar pistorius walked into a packed courtroom this morning. His head bowed. He struggled to remain his composure, sobbing at times. A decision is expected to come within the next hour on whether pistorius will be allowed to go home or will have to live in prison until his trial is concluded. As the crush of cameras looked on, the 26yearold lawyer grabbed his hand, telling him, youre going to be okay. Trembling as he said, good morning, your worship. His family anxiously awaiting a decision. His coach also in the courtroom, hoping to get him back into the training soon. I think to get his mind sort of clear, the sooner eer he can start with a bit of work. Reporter in closing arguments, prosecutors said pistorius version of why he shot his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp on valentines day, was improbable. They believe he intentionally killed her after an argument. When she locked herself in his bathroom, he took a gun from under his bed and firped at her through the door four times. Defense attorneys insisted it was an accident. That pistorius mistook his girlfriend for an intruder. They also said pistorius would not be a flight risk because he is too recognizable and needs constant medical attention for his legs. The case took a wild turn on thursday, when a new lead investigator was assigned, following the bombshell revelation that the detective in charge of the night of the shooting, hilton botha, is himself facing murder charges. Botha was immediately dropped from the case. Courtwatchers believe the blow to both thats credibility, along with the admission theres not yet evidence to disprove pistoriuss account of what happened, has seriously damaged the prosecutions case. Again, court reconvenes about a half hour from now. Legal analysts say the bail matter may not be over. The losing side can still appeal to a higher court. And then, pistorius trial is expected to begin in six to eight months, maybe even longer. One of the reasons its so important to his family he be granted bail today. George . Thanks. Lets get more from legal analyst dan abrams. And the defense lawyers, dan, have a pretty hard job here. The standard quite high. They have to come up with exceptional reason why pistorius should be free. Thats based on the initial ruling by the court. But i think a lot has changed since that initial ruling. I think its clear from the courts questions that the court may not apply that really high standard. And may in effect say, after hearing all of the evidence, i dont think that there is sufficient evidence to say theres premeditation at this point. As a result, apply a lower standard which would basically force the prosecution to prove why he should remain locked up. Even though that was the original findings. There was premeditation. Correct. Lets look at what happened in the courtroom in these final arguments. So much focus on the disability of pistorius. I thought that was very interesting. What the defense is saying, where is he going to go . How is he going to get away . This is a guy who needs constant medical attention. He has prosthesis on his legs. Theyre saying theres no chance he could just flee. The prosecution saying, wait a second. We have to treat him like any other defendant in this case. But it did seem, based on the questions from the court, that the court was somewhat sympathetic to that position, as well. This investigator, removed as lead investigator, mr. Botha. But he still has to go up on the stand. Hes going to be a witness in this case. Just because they take him off the lead, he was still at the scene. Hes going to be called as a key witness in the trial. And thats going to be a problem for the prosecution, once this case goes to trial. Dan abrams, thanks very much. Thank you. Now, to the deadly drive by shooting on the vegas strip, right in the middle where so many families go on vacation. A firefight outside a hotel, leaving three people dead. And the assailants are still armed and dangerous. Abbie boudreau is at the scene in las vegas. Good morning. Reporter good morning, amy. It was here on the vegas strip where three people were killed. And what many are calling a driveby shooting made for the movies. These images show the fiery end of a deadly shooting, which played out in the heart of the vegas strip thursday. Believing three people dead and three injured. This morning a multistate manhunt is on for the unidentified shooter, which sources say may have been targeting this man, las vegas rapper kenny clutch. We believe the occupants of the range rover are armed and dangerous. Reporter police say a group of men inside a black range rover suv opened fire on this maserati. The passenger was hit but survived. Clutch, who was driving, was killed. Police say the maserati swerved into oncoming traffic, hitting multiple cars before slamming into a cab, which burst into flames and exploded. The cab driver and passenger both died. I can see one vehicle down here on the corner of the intersection, totally engulfed in flames. Reporter police now say they believe the shooting began as an argument moments earlier at a nearby casino. This morning, as four states look for the driver of that range rover, police here in sin city are trying to calm nerves. This is the fifth incident on the vegas strip since december. This is something you never really, really ever want to explain as a parent, whose child reporter and police are still going through Surveillance Video this morning, trying to look for clues that will lead them to the shooter. Amy . All right. Abbie boudreau in vegas. Lets go to josh elliott for the other developing stories right now. Josh . Good morning. Were going to begin with troubling, new warning signs in the Nuclear Standoff with iran. U. N. Inspectors now confirm hundreds of advanced machines are being installed at one of Irans Nuclear facilities. Itser considered a major upgrade for a program that could be used to make weapons. U. N. Officials are hoping to speak oneonone with iranians next week. David muir is in tehran. And his exclusive reporting continues tonight on world news. Three men in britain caught on tape, saying they want to pull off another 9 11, have now been convicted. Police say the men traveled to pakistan twice for training with al qaeda and were looking to build ten suicide bombs. And four Peanut Company executives Face Criminal Charges in connection with one of the deadliest salmonella outbreaks in u. S. History. Nine people died in 2009, after eating products from peanuts from the Peanut Corporation of america. Investigators found unsanitary conditions including mold and roaches at the plant. This case serves as a warning to other Food Companies not to put profits before safety. And theres proof this morning this years flu shot isnt doing a very good job protecting those who need it most. Overall, the vaccines been about 56 effective. Similar to previous years. But when it comes to senior citizens, that effectiveness dips to only 9 against the toughest strain. Experts admit we need a better vaccine. But insists the flu shot is your best bet to stay healthy. And former illinois cop Drew Peterson has been sentenced to 38 in prison for killing his wife. He could be charged for killing his fourth wife. Before sentencing, there was a rare outburst. Peterson, i did not kill kathleen. And finally, what do you young kids think . Take a look at this. Some guys in california had a bright idea. Were going to back the truck up to a hooters and steal the atm. Imagine the surprise that they hadnt stolen an atm. They had stolen a jukebox. Suspects in their teens and 20s, apparently too young to know what a jukebox was. This would never have happened to richie and potsie and the fonz. Perhaps they just like rock n roll. Were going to turn to the latest budget crisis in washington that could start affecting your family in just seven days. Thats when the acrosstheboard cuts in government kick in. And the costs could pile up quickly. Jon karl is at the white house with the details. Good morning, jon. Reporter one week away. And there are lots of dire warnings about what the cuts will mean. But one of the most visible ways most americans will see their impact will come sometime during when it comes to air travel, the first thing well all see are longer lines at airport security. Expect 10 fewer tsa agents on the job. To cut its budget, the Security Agency will ask each of its agents to take unpaid days off. One prominent budget expert told us, it could get really bad. You guys are going out to reagan airport. And they to wait three hours to get through security. There will be enough pressure that the American People will say, we have had enough of this. Reporter its not just security lines. The cuts will mean fewer air traffic controllers, which will mean less traffic in the skies. And, you guessed it, more time on the runway waiting to take off. You might want to rethink trips overseas. Without a budget deal, there could be fewer Border Control and customs agents. And the department of Homeland Security says, lines as long as three or four hours at immigration and customs. Despite the dire warnings and inability to reach an agreement, the spending cuts represent only a fraction of total spending. With the cuts, the federal government will spend about 15 billion more this year than it spent last year. The spending cuts go into effect one week from today. But their impact wont be felt right away. First, the government must give employees 30 days notice before they take one unpaid day off a week. That means youre really going to see the impact some time in april. Those cuts could be in for some time. The president made phone calls to congressional leaders last night. But no Real Progress on negotiations. Reporter weve been asking, why isnt the president talking to republican leaders. He finally did. My understanding was these calls were a reiteration of position. And theres no command ground right now. No sign of agreement on the horizon. Jon karl, thanks very much. Well have more on this sunday on this week. Well have our oscar predictions, too. Lara, thats a warmup for your big show on the red carpet. Lets raise a glass of orange juice or a cup of coffee. Were just two days away from finding out who is taking oscar home. Oscars biggest night, full of surprises. And come sunday, we could see some major upsets. This morning, the red carpet is out. And all bets are off for who will walk away with hollywoods most coveted leading man. And if you think you know who the oscar goes to experts say, think again. I think theres going to be quite a few surprises. Reporter take lincoln, the favorite for best picture. Its leading the pack with 12 nominations. A blessing . Maybe not. The mostnominated time wins best picture 67 of the time. There are people that say Silver Linings playbook might sneak into there, too. Reporter and what about that mov movies star, jennifer lawrence. Odds have her even now with Jessica Chastain for best actress. But throw out the playbook. There is Emmanuelle Riva who had a stunning portrayal in amour. Reporter Quvenzhane Wallis would provide an upset. Once considered a wildcard, she became a megastar just as Academy Members were voting. And i was doing flips i could never do before. Reporter and theres les mis star hugh jackman who told me this. Its great to be nominee. If im in the mezzanine, theres a very good chance i wont be winning. Reporter you may not want to put all of your pennies on daniel daylewis.

Looking forward to all of that. Lets get to the latest on the socalled breakup murder trial. Jodi arias facing a withering crossexamination thursday. The prosecution, taking direct aim at her credibility. Abcs ryan owens is in phoenix, arizona, with the very latest. Ryan, good morning. Reporter good morning to you, amy. All of a sudden, we met a brandnew jodi arias. Forget that softspoken, sobbing woman we got to know on the stand the past eight days. She was replaced by a smiling, sometimes smug defendant, who was ready to fight for her life. Jodi arias debuted a new look for her big day, a black business suit. And she meant business. Sparring with veteran prosecutor, juan martinez, on his first day of crossexamination. Do you have problems with your memory, maam . Sometimes. Reporter martinez grilled her about not remembering she stabbed her exboyfriend in june of 2008. I have no memory of stabbing him. Reporter all arias seems to remember now is she killed in selfdefense, after claiming alexander attacked her. What factors implement your having a memory problem . Usually when men like you are screaming at me or drilling me. That affects your memory problems, right . It does. It makes my brain scramble. Reporter martinez tried to rattle her. Frequently smiling at the man who wants her sentenced to death. The Prosecutor Says she plotted the murder of her exboyfriend and repeatedly lied to cover her tracks. He believes one of her biggest lies is that shes an abused woman. Arias says her crooked finger is evidence of that. She blames months before she killed alexander, he broke her finger. Show us how bent it is again. Reporter but martinez believes she injured her finger while she was shooting and repeatedly stabbing them. To make the point, he showed this picture of arias perfectly healthy looking hand months after alexander supposedly beat her. That didnt phase the newlyconfident arias, either. You dont have a bent finger here. My finger is bent there. Youre saying your finger is bent there . Yes. Reporter jodi arias has been on the stand for so long, to be honest, the jury was starting to get bored. Not when crossexamination started. They stopped taking notes. They looked right from jodi arias, back to the prosecutor and back to jodi arias. It was like they were looking at a tennis match, amy. And this will continue on monday. All right. Ryan owens with the very latest. For more, now, lets bring in gma legal analyst, dan abrams. I know youve been impressed with arias as a witness until now. She was so calm under crossexamination. Was that a good thing . I think she continues to be a good witness. She has horrible facts. Her story makes very little sense. But as a witness, i think she continues to do well. And i think shes doing well while the prosecutor, i think, is going a little overboard. Meaning, the prosecutor has the facts on his side. He has the inconsistencies. He has the trouble with her account. He doesnt need to yell at her because i think that the only danger here is that a few jurors feel sorry for jodi arias. And the way you feel sorry for jodi arias is if it seems like the prosecutor is unnecessarily badgering her. Keep in mind that he has the facts on her side. I think he has to take it down a notch. And court back in session on monday. Do you think well see a change of tactic . A change of attitude with the prosecutor . I dont know. A lot of people are echoing what im saying. Lawyers watching the case, people on social media. And these are almost all people who presume that jodi arias is guilty of something opinion and a lot of them are saying that the prosecutor, by saying to her, yelling at her and pointing at her and doing other things, is not helping his case. If hes listening and if he cares, i think that he might take it down a notch. From what i understand, this is his style. This is the way he crossexamines. Hes looking for that perry mason moment. Its not going to happen. Thanks. Were going to turn to the shocking video weve been telling you about. A young man high above a snowy peak, holding on to the lift by his fingernails. Gio benitez is here with the story. Reporter good morning, george. The video has 1. 2 million views on youtube. And just watch because once you do, you cant look away. Dude. Reporter what youre seeing is a young man hanging on for dear life. 17yearold jacob gutierrez. His grip slipping, is about to plummet four stories into the side of this mountain. It was pretty terrifying. I was thinking, if i fall wrong, if i land wrong on one of these rocks, im probably going to get really hurt or die. Reporter this amateur video, which was just posted online, shows the shocking moments right after gutierrez tried to throw a snowball to a fend member 2nd. Instead, he loses his balance and eventually his grip. Im hanging. And i just lose grip. And i remember it all. I remember just falling. It felt really far. But i hit a rock. And next thing you know, im looking up at the ski lift. Reporter look again. Gutierrez drops 45 feet from this santa fe, new mexico, ski lift, as his friends watch helplessly, recording it all. As he was falling, i just it was pretty scary. I thought he might have died. I actually hit my head on the rock. As you can see, i have a scar. There was just blood everywhere. I was in shock. Reporter its not the first time someone has blitzed off of a a ski lift like this one. Just this year, this young boy slipped from a chair lift in wi. You see his father holding his hand. The boy was unharmed. But back in new mexico, gutierrez wasnt as lucky. This left him with liver damage, along with a collapsed lung and a broken skull. Dude. Reporter scars, he says, which have now scared him into being more careful. Im definitely going to start wearing a helmet from now on. Reporter a good lesson, no doubt. Gutierrez was hanging there some six minutes before falling. He was in intensive care for a few days. As you can see, this morning, he was just just fine. Held on for six minutes. Sam, what have you got . How can you watch that stuff, george . I dont know. Im going to see whats on the boards. I wasnt paying a bit of attention. This is the detroit area. Whiteout conditions. Were getting this in. Detroit was a big, snowy february. You pick up half of your yearly snowfall total in the month of february. It still goes on today. That monster storm splits into two lows.

Back, now, at 7 43 with a major update on a story we first brought you a few months ago. The socalled internet casanova, raymond holycroft, using aliases to steal the hearts and the money of women in several states. Linsey davis has the story. Reporter hes being called the internet casanova. He was extremely charming. He seemed very smart and very charismatic. Reporter but this morning, raymond holycross isnt accused of breaking hearts. Hes accused of breaking the law. He had been texting over 25, 30 different women. Meeting up with seven, eight women a day, when he said he was supposedly at work. Reporter in just a few hours, the 29yearold will be arraigned before an indiana judge, after allegedly scamming and robbing 38 women in 7 states. He relies on girls he meets on the internet to provide him what he needs to get through life. Reporter police say holycross has logged on to dating website, stealing not just the hearts of the women he met, but taking everything they own. Theresa says she was one of those victims. These are all the different texts, from all of the different women. Reporter she had been scammed by holycross, who she knew as ray price since september. He had moved in. Then, her camera disappeared. And i found a receipt for a pawnshop. And it was for my camera. Reporter she says holycross denies selling it. But when she went to police, he moved out. But she still wanted him stopped. So, she texted him and initiated a reunion earlier this week. When he flew back into town to see her, she called police. Thats when i found out all the information about all of the websites and the dating sites. I think he should pay for what he did. Reporter for Good Morning America, linsey davis, abc news, new york.

And smart. Incredibly. Its too late for noc. See . Noc, youre not alone. And finally not for the whale that passed away. But the study was as we all get ready to head out to the oscars, i thought it was interesting that there were so many great films and performan performances, that behind the scene, were having a hard time choosing who we want to win.

She will be interviewing the first lady later on today. But we want to share with you a very special interview. A special conversation with her and our colleague and friend, diane sawyer, about her journey back home. Today, how do you change the way you think . How do you change the way you think from the robin i first saw countless years ago. With pigtails. Yes. I and i know you will find this hard to believe, especially in the line of work that we are in. I just think about now. I just think about this moment. So, thats how i changed the way i think. I dont think about anything else, about, right this moment. Im talking to a dear, old friend. If this has taught me anything, its that i dont care who you are, where you are, what your circumstances. There is a finite amount of time that we all have to do whatever it is that were meant to do. And nowhere is it written that we should not be happy, that you get extra bonus points at the end because you you know, you trudged along and you did what you thought you should do. I want to be happy. Now, are there days this is a good day. And there are some days you have that it kind of creeps in. But i dont do you have something you do when it does . Do you have something do you have something you do that everybody in their lives will keep the clothes in if the door is open. They look at you thinking, if she can make it a good day, maybe i can, too. What do i do . I breathe. Left foot, right foot, breathe. Left foot, right foot, breathe. What do you see when you look in your eyes, your own eyes now, in the morning . You know what . I see a strong woman. I know people have said that about me. But we all know our own insecurities. And we all know how we all really feel about ourselves. There is something freeing. Theres something liberating about not being afraid. Being afraid but still doing it because if we wait until theres no fear, were going to be waiting a long time on the sidelines. If i can go through the year that i had and still be standing, wow. Im not as afraid of what can come next. And nor should you be. Just a part of a wonderful and very special edition of 20 20, robins journey. We have larry from people magazine. Want to get a lot of topics. Last week, you had robin on your cover. I was in a supermarket. One of the greatest sights was when theres few magazines in the rock. It did great across the country. A testament to our power and strength and her message. Welcome back to her. Lets switch gears. We have news coming up. Talked about this a little bit. Surprising news. Josh brolin and diane lane. It is. They were one of the couples that werent front and center. Because of that you, thought they were steady and solid. But the marriage had run its course. He had a runin with the police after new years eve. They seemed like a steady couple. They were introduced by barbra streisand. Too bad. Too bad. Happy couple. Miley cyrus and liam hemsworth. In the new issue of people a lot about the wedding. Shes 20 years old, getting married to liam hemsworth. And she likes one particular designer. But she said there were so many designers that wanted to help out, she might have as many as 30 dresses. That translates to miley wants 30 dresses. What did she mean by it if not that . I think she said a lot were knocking on her doors. If you want to come out, go ahead. She cant wear 30. Maybe she could. There are bridesmaids. Who knows . No idea when theyre getting married . Some time soon. It will be small. Shes being tracked by paparazzi. She doesnt know. Isnt there an indication that they were already married . We saw the rings. Were not in a hurry, are we . No. We can wait. Who is tracked more by paparazzi more than prince harry . Well have to put our teams on that. Prince harry was spotted in switzerland with a new girlfriend, cressida bonas. Her halfsister is getting married to Richard Bransons son. I think you can tell from the photographs, if you learn how to kiss while on skis, theres a relationship. He may not be in any hurry, either. They met last mmer. She endured his behavior in las vegas. Lovely. She is. And all of her relatives have names with hyphens in them. I dont know if you can type the names on an iphone. It must be really hard. If he finally decides to get marry, that will be three or four special editions of people. I think this entire crew will be there. I hope its featured. In january. Help us out. Great to see you, larry. Another thing were all talking about right now is the oscars.
