CNNW Early Start April 27, 2012



landing today at the big apple. if you're flying into jfk today, you could get an interesting look. i just gave it away. >> you can watch those pictures over and over again. a piggybacking 747 and a shuttle? sweet stuff. let's get started off the top of the hour here. up first, a six-figure shocker in the trayvon martin case. legal experts say it's something that could land trayvon martin's killer george zimmerman back in jail. zimmerman's attorney mark o'mara told anderson cooper that he just found out his client has over $200,000 in online donations, but the judge was told zimmerman had very little money when the bail was set this wee week. >> he asked me what do with his paypal accounts. i asked him what he was talking about. and he said those are the accounts that had the money from the website he had and that there was about $200,000, $204,000 that had come in to date. i don't think judge lester will believe i misled him. i told him what i knew at the time which is exactly what i was aware of. >> martin, there was a hearing scheduled for this morning, it wasn't supposed to be about this issue, but the issue today could almost only be about this money. >> there's no question this will dominate the conversation inside the courtroom. just when you think anything -- or there is something called a routine hearing, you get surprised by this. a $200,000 bombshell, as you point out. that's because a week ago, there we were inside the courtroom, george zimmerman's attorney was arguing you need to reduce bond because george zimmerman has no money, he doesn't have a job, his wife has no job. his family has no money. then lo and behold he was sitting on $200,000. this was money coming in from the website he had set up, donations from all across the country and all around the world. what will the impact be on the judge that granted that bond? mark geragos spoke about that on ac 360 last night. >> he's setting a bond at 150 over the prosecution's objections, and the prosecutor is asking for a million bucks and it turns out this guy has got $200,000 in an account, you know, i know a lot of judges who would remand the guy back into custody immediately. and i'll tell you why. because one of the things is, they want to make sure somebody is not going to flee and that the bond secures. >> now the attorneys that represent the family of trayvon martin are saying that it shows you cannot trust george zimmerman. it does not look good in any way, shape or form and as you say it will probably dominate the hearing. >> we move on, i do want to mention he was in a form of protective custody. it's my understanding that you don't often have access to the internet. is there a possibility, martin, i'm not suggesting that you were watching him, is there a possibility that the defendant might not have even known what he had before going into the hearing? >> you know, it is possible. we really don't know. he two websites set up. one was the realgeorgezimmerman.com and the other was justiceforgeorge.com. whether he was able to monitor them while in hiding, we don't know. last week over and over the prosecution kept asking family members how much money is in those accounts? everybody said they didn't know. somebody must have known. >> we may find out today in this hearing. certainly a lot of questions to be asked. martin savidge, thank you very much. john edwards, the defense team for john edwards trying hard to tear down the government's star witness. former aide andrew young taking the stand for the fourth day. he admitted he used much of $19 million in campaign supporter money to build his dream house in north carolina not to cover up an affair edwards was having with his videographer rielle hunter. some real ugliness coming out from boston bruin fans after that team was eliminated by the nhl playoffs. joel ward scored the winning score. there were some racist tweets, the n word scores again and we riot. we lost to a hockey playing n word? larry holter, host of the sports hangover, will talk about the comments and how the league has reacted to these tweets. the investigation into the secret service is expanding this morning, this after agents allegedly paid for strippers before president obama's visit to el salvador last year. an alleged eyewitness said the agents told him, hey this happens all the time. >> conversations i heard, they bragged about it. how good was the night, the country. that's -- i heard that more than once. >> cnn cannot independently confirm the allegations. the secret service responded to the report saying they are following up on the allegations in an appropriate manner. here's one of those stories you like to hear. 48 philadelphia transit workers just hit a powerball jackpot worth $172 million. why aren't we in that pool? the winning septa employees range from janitors to accountants to managers. they had been pooling their lottery money for quite some time now. this big win creating a serious buzz in the building. >> by 1:00 this afternoon, this buzz went through this 20-story office building. did you hear? did you hear? is it a rumor? people started fessing up. >> everybody is, like, excited. everybody is, like, they can't believe it. it hit on the 11th floor. >> congratulations. the winning transit workers have decided at this point they would like to remain anonymous. this just in. gas prices dropping another 0.4 cents over the past 24 hours. the new national average for a gallon of regular unleaded is $3.83. that's a national average. depending on where you live, you're saying that's not what i'm paying. aaa just posted this on its website a few minutes ago. we're approaching the busy summer driving season, we'll see how that effects demand for gas. a lot of people saying there's been a peak, but gas prices could go up again. >> when they were going up constantly, you were saying keep your tank topped up. do we let it go?
