views. i'm susan hendricks. we start with breaking news, and today we might get an idea just how big a disaster the massive oil spill might be on the gulf coast. parts of the slick are expected to reach the shores of louisiana any moment now, today. this is the forecast for where and when the tides will carry the oil. our very own richard lui worked for a company that makes oil clean-up equipment, and right now he is on the island in alabama, one of the places under the gun. take a lirch. >> this area is certainly used to dealing with natural disasters. we've got hurricane katrina, ivan, gustav, for instance. this time around, it's a little bit different, and therefore, they're not sure how to react. here is an oyster shuker who has been doing it for 40 years. he's used to making a livelihood on oysters and here is what he thinks about what might happen. >> this is the first time we had an oil spill. i never thought about it being oil, at least. you always thought about hurricanes. >> willie is used to that. he's used to seeing rigs right off the coast. we're in an area where the first rig off the coast in alabama was built. willie is also used to seeing a nice, open ocean area where he can go off the gulf fishing if he likes. we had the opportunity to speak to one fisherman. he was concerned that this actually may be the last time that he would be able to go fishing because of what is sitting off the coast right now. >> i never took any fish that i ever caught for granted, or i tried not to, but, boy, these last couple days, i've -- you know, just -- just have to enjoy every one of them now. >> and bob abr usc ato was telling us as he was leaving for what he thought was a last time that he wanted to go out to a cove, take his boat out there alone, fish for a little bit. and we asked him, what are you going to be thinking about because you do think this is one of the last times you'll be out there, and he simply said, i'm scared. i've been doing this my whole life. i take people out on fish tours, i fish on my own, and it's what i enjoy. so those are the dynamics right now here on dolphin island. you've got those that are used to catastrophes but not used to necessarily one like this, and you have those whose livelihoods are taking a very great turn right now. back to you. >> obviously, very emotional for the locals there. richard lui in alabama. to see how you can help out in the effort to minimize the effects this spill will have on the environment, head over to cnn.com/impactarea. you'll see how you can help. casey anthony charged in her daughter's death was in court today with a new judge. judge perry took over the case, and he covered future motions, deadlines. casey's parents were also in court for the hearing. the judge chosaid the jury chos for the trial could be sequestered for four to six weeks. >> the only way, after we go through this thing of selecting a jury and getting 12-plus requisite number of alternates, to make sure they are not infected or polluted during this proceeding, is to sequester them. you say you're going to object to them being sequestered, mr. bass? >> no, judge. unfortunately, we have differing opinions and we have an opinion, but we have not come to the conclusion of what our feelings are with regards to that. we understand it will naturally exclude a certain demographic of jurors, and that's what we're analyzing at this time to try to determine if that's going to be an issue. >> casey is charged in the death of her daughter, caylee. at this time judge perry has not indicated if he may change the trial date or not. for more on today's court proceedings, we go to natisha, a producer on the nancy grace show. how does this new judge change the dynamic here in the courtroom? >> one of the things before we even got to this hearing today, he had laid out for both sides, defense as well as the prosecution, a list of decorum. he wanted them to read up on this and how he works in his courtroom. this is more a judge who goes for -- he wants them to be -- stand up when they're addressed by the court. he also wants them to conduct themselves in a very professional manner, and that's the way he runs his courtroom. now, he talks about the change of venue, which we heard on there, and talks about sequestering the jury during that time and if that will be a possibility. the defense is saying at this time they're not sure they are debating that in their own camp, but we will hear about that in the next few weeks or so, but this judge very down to business, wants to propel this case along and got a lot accomplished in less than an hour just today. >> it seems as though he is the opposite of judge ito, if you will, in the o.j. simpson trial. the attorneys on both sides, do you think they would be in favor of this judge, moving things along quickly? >> absolutely. this judge has taken into account how much this has saturated the area, especially orlando, and that's why he's thinking about going into another jurisdiction to get a jury from other r ovver there a bringing them to orlando for the hearing. we've seen protestors who have been in front of the anthonys' house and that's why he wants to go across the state. >> judge perry wanting to keep this in line and move it along. thanks. a former nurse accused of giving out the wrong kind of help. find out how he allegedly convicted people and convinced them, rather, to commit suicide on line. we're also getting your views on this. stay with us. dead spots everywhere. this is the right stuff. ortho weed b gon max. it kills weeds down to the root. even the tough ones like dandelion and crabgrass. but unlike that other stuff, it won't kill the grass. ortho guarantees it. kill the weeds, not the lawn. weeds, not lawn. got it?

that's not something i can get my head around. if you were on a jury -- this all occurred out of state. he did not assist with the suicide, he just encouraged people, gave them technical instructions, so should he face prison time? you can dive into this discussion. susan says, i think this is more of a moral issue than a legal one. he should not have encouraged them to kill themselves but rather helped them to seek treatment for their problems. he didn't pull the trigger, hang the noose or put the needle in his arm, which is a legal issue. i do say, however, he should seek help himself for his in hum human way of thinking. >> tanya writes, if someone truly wants to commit suicide, they're going to do it regardless. this man is disturbed, though. what a creep. and another susan writes, this man committed murder by preying on depressed or ill people. he should be in prison. he went out of his way to provoke this action, although he was not physically there. now, if someone were to read about suicide or someone had said how it could be done, this would be hard to convict. it doesn't matter the people were out of state only via the computer. i would find him guilty. james says, this is a new form of cyber bullying. this man has a medical background and undoubtedly knew the dangers of making such an irresponsible statement. you can argue that only the person who pulls the trigger committed the crime in such situations, but when a nurse who is familiar with depressed patients pushes a depressed person off the proverbial cliff, then it's definitely a crime. pretty that you feel comments. what do you have on your page? >> christopher says this. he says, putting people in jail for merely uttering statements where no threats were made to begin with, regardless of how distasteful they may be, is going down a slippery slope. if that were to be the case, no one could say or write anything. a good point, certainly, jack. >> we've got dozens to read through and we're just getting started. we'd love to hear your phone calls, too. if someone assisted with a suicide with rhetoric on line, should they do time?

hln money expert clark howard tells you about a new company that's making that offer. >> have you ever noticed how much cars stay parked, not actually on the road? well, every day that your car is sitting parked, you're paying money for insurance, you're paying money for the loan on that vehicle. it's really expensive having a car sitting there not doing anything. well, what if you could be your own one-person car rental agency? that's the idea of a new start-up called relayrides. the idea is when you're not using your car, other people can, and relayrides provides the insurance in the event they have an oops while they're in your car. is this going to work? i don't know, but it's a pretty neat idea to me because you could generate several hundred dollars a month in income from your car while you're not actually using it. now, the problem? you don't know what kind of slob might rent your car or what kind of driver they are, but it is new money to you. i'm clark howard. for more ways for you to stretch that buck, go to cnn.com/clarkhoward. >> get more great advice from clark himself every weekend right here on hln. he will help you save more, spend less and avoid getting ripped off. star quarterback ben roethlisberger won't be facing sexual assault charges, but two of his pals could be in hot water. we'll explain. boss: y'know, geico opened its doors back in 1936 and now we're insuring over 18 million drivers. gecko: quite impressive, yeah. boss: come a long way, that's for sure. and so have you since you started working here way back when. gecko: ah, i still have nightmares. anncr: geico. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. breaking news, we start with along the gulf coast. we're hearing that massive oil spill floating in the gulf will make landfall in louisiana sometime today. this is the latest forecast map for where the tides and wind will carry the oil over the next several days. even in the best of times, commercial fishing is certainly a tough way to make a living, as you know, but now a lot of fishermen fear the oil will prove to be a black death for their way of life. >> well, basically what it is, it's like a farmer. we've been nurturing our crop and it's trime to harvest and w can't harvest. what we'd like to see bp do is get out there and talk to the local and see get the locals to help with this. the locals know the water better than anybody else and they got a stake in this. i think bp is making a big mistake by not going to the local communities and get with the people that live there that know the waters best and that's willing to work and do the job, you know? >> there is even speculation the oil spill could be worse than the 1989 exxon valdez example in alaska's prince william sound. take a look at this. one of our ireporters sent us this video of bp workers trying to protect the alabama coast from the oil spill in the gulf. this is orange beach, one of the most popular beaches along the gulf coast. officials here say they're starting to lose tourist business already. there is also a lot of concerns about the spill with marine life, vegetation. he's lived in the area for three years and people see dolphins and stingrays on the coast. he said it would be a shame if the marine life is affected by the spill. when you have breaking news or cool stories from your part of the world, here's what you do. go to ireporter.com, click on the upload now link. well, casey anthony was back in court today for another hearing in the murder case against her. instead of a in judge stan strickland's courtroom, she appeared before a new judge today. we're talking about judge belvin perry. he got the case after strickland removed himself from the case last week. he told both sides in the next couple weeks he will rule on outstanding motions and the defense team's budget. prosecutors explained a problem they've been having with anthony's defense team. here it is. >> we have, for three months, been trying to coordinate depositions of these individuals out of state. the lawyers for these people have been stonewalling, but mr. baez has agreed to speak with those people and try to resolve this as quickly as possible so that that matter can be concluded. i expect those witnesses to have all of their depositions taken before the end of june. that's the only, if you want to call it a dispute, that we're having. i wouldn't necessarily characterize it that way because it's not mr. baez's fault that these other lawyers that are involved either have scheduling matters that preclude their cooperation or they simply don't want to. >> anthony's parents, george and cindy, were also present in the courtroom. casey anthony accused of kill her daughter caylee. the judge said he wanted to move the trial to an earlier date. right now it is scheduled to start in may of 2011. the mother of john edwards' two-year-old daughter says no matter what anyone thinks, she did not break up his marriage. in an interview with oprah, rielle hunter said despite the myth the candidate had a storybook marriage, she does not believe a third party can wreck a home. edwards and his wife are now separated. oprah asked about the so-called sex tape in the center of the proceedings and what happened when she called elizabeth on her cell phone. she said he called her himself and told her it's over. >> i assumed that she was standing there when he said that, and he was in a, you know, traumatic state. his world had just collided, and he hung up the phone. >> and what did you do?
