Transcripts For KGO Good Morning America 20140912

A massive brawl at a house party, after they showed up in a stretch hummer. One witness saying it was like an episode of Jerry Springer. Her kids throwing punches. What sparked this rumble in the tundra . And good morning, america. Happy friday, robin on assignment this morning. So nice to have this guy, rob marciano is with us. The new guy. Great to be here. I just want to say, our chief meteorologist, ginger, is taking a nice long weekend. Whats your title . Senior. A welldeserved time off for her. Welcome. Thank you. Glad to be here. Lots of weather to talk about, and fun stuff too. Welcome aboard, rob. We want to get right to the breaking news of Oscar Pistorius, the former olympian convicted of culpable homicide. And we are in the courtroom, matt, this verdict has shocked so many. Reporter absolutely, george. When Oscar Pistorius walked into the courtroom yesterday, he faced life in prison. But that culpable homicide conviction may be a victory for him. Hes already out on bail and may never send a single day in prison for killing his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. This headline says it all, oscars great escape. Mr. Pistorius, please stand up. Reporter judgment day for Oscar Pistorius, on the count of murder not guilty and is discharged. Instead he is found guilty of culpable homicide. Reporter after a contentious trial punctuated by recriminations. You killed reeva steenkamp. Thats what you did. Say yes, i shot and killed reeva steenkamp. Reporter Oscar Pistorius was found guilty of manslaughter for negligently firing into his bathroom door last valentines day, knowing that someone was inside. But that conviction is not enough for the judge to throw out bail, despite the prosecutions protest. After negligently killing the deceased. The olympian breaking down in court on thursday, but this morning, showing little emotion, only staring stonefaced in his seat. Today with the family of the women he killed shaking their heads and pistorius family saying there are no victors today. It wont bring reeva back but our heart goes out for his family and friend. Reporter as pistorius left court, he was mocked and for the first time, cheered. Next month will be his sentencing, but get this. They took him downstairs to a holding cell for about an hour during a lunch break. That could be the most time he will spend behind bars after his conviction. Thank you, matt. Dan, we sat here every day, watched the evidence come in, watched the trial. Im one of those people, like you, who is shocked by this. Its not just that the verdict itself is stunning. The not guilty on the murder charge, its the reasoning that the judge used. It appears that this judge believes it was all a mistake. Believes that Oscar Pistorius thought that reeva was still in bed. Thats right. And as a result, that this all was a horrible, horrible mistake. That, to me, when you look at the facts of this case, is the most significant thing that this judge found, and that led to the ruling. Basically threw out the testimony for witnesses saying they heard fights and heard screaming. Thats right. And says she believes it was Oscar Pistorius who was the one screaming. When we first heard that, it seemed absurd. The notion that earwitnesses heard a woman screaming and heard two people screaming. Some heard a man and a woman screaming. And instead, this judge is saying, i believe that the defense said that Oscar Pistorius may have had a highpitched voice, and it was just him screaming. Because remember, if there was a fight, there was no way to avoid a murder charge here. Also, seeing hes acquitted on one of the ammunition charges. Which is hard to believe. The ammunition was found in his home, and he did not have the license to have it. It does make me wonder, is it possible. Its very unlikely hell get no jail time. Unlike here, the prosecutors there can appeal. They can appeal on matters of law. I would not be surprised if these prosecutors appeal on one crucial mistake that many believe the judge made about whether he had to have the intent to kill her behind that door opposed to anyone behind that door. Okay, thanks very much. All right, george, move now to the ray rice scandal. His former team, the baltimore ravens, taking the field last night for the First Time Since that video from the elevator surfaced. This as questions are raised about just how much the nfl commissioner knew, and when. Abcs ryan smith has the very latest. And we wish you a very good morning, ryan. Reporter Roger Goodell under fire once again, claiming that ray rice personally gave details to him, of the brutal elevator attack months before the video was released. And an investigation looming, new claims of insensitivity being levelled at the league, the potential fallout, enormous. Overnight, more fallout from the scandal as the ravens took the field without rice, cbs sports pulling an opening sequence featuring rihanna, herself a victim of abuse at the hands of chris brown. Critics saying the nfl should have made the connection sooner. Another example, they say, of the leagues insensitivity to Domestic Violence. Tension over the rice controversy, spilling over into the parking lot, with some fans wearing ray rices jersey, facing backlash from other fans. After the game care about the rice family. We have a tough family situation. Our guys handled it tremendously with class. Reporter our Sister Network espn reporting, according to multiple sources, ray rice personally told Roger Goodell he punched his wife in the elevator in Atlantic City, well before video of the incident went public, seemingly contradicting this statement by goodaell, earlier this week. When we met with him and his representatives, it was ambiguous about what actually happened. What was ambiguous about her laying on the floor, being dragged out by her feet. There was nothing ambiguous. That was the result that we saw. We did not know what led up to that. Reporter one source telling espn ray didnt lie to the commissioner, but another reporting rice told goodell, he slapped his fiancee. No one is reporting on the espn report. We know that former fbi director Robert Mullers independent investigation of the entire matter is set to begin immediately with the report to be shared with the public, a report that could determine the commissioners fate. And calls for change in the nfl now coming from washington. Yesterday, 16 of 20 women senators penning a letter to goodell, demanding a zero tolerance policy. To Domestic Violence, writing, quote, if you violently assault a woman, you shouldnt get a Second Chance to play football in the nfl. George, lara . Thank you. And so much conversation on social media about the commissioner right now. And we want to hear from you. Do you think that nfl commissioner Roger Goodell should step down . Tweet us using socialsquare. A lot of pressure there. Were going to get the latest now about the prison escape overnight by the Ohio School Shooter who killed three classmates in 2012. T. J. Lane was caught after some tense moments that had the entire region on alert. Alex perez is on the scene. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, a long night for people here. Authorities say those inmates somehow scaled the perimeter of the prison, and got out, leaving authorities on a long overnight frantic manhunt. The 19yearold convict is serving three life sentences for killing three students at a high school in february of 2012, breaking out of the correctional facility in lima thursday night at 8 00 p. M. With two others. Scaled the perimeter fence. And, again, this is an ongoing investigation. Reporter authorities quickly apprehended one of the men nearby, but lane and another inmate were able to get away. Officers with k9s and helicopters were searching the neighborhoods and woods around the prison. Then at 1 20 a. M. Which inmate . I believe the young one. T. J. Lane. Hes in custody. Reporter authorities located lane, apparently armed with a pitch fork just 100 yards away from the prison. And hours later, they caught the other. Lanes escape just another painful reminder to the community in ohio of the School Shooting two years ago. 911, wheres your emergency. We just had a shooting at our school. We need to get out of here. Reporter it follows last years court appearances, marked by erratic behavior and the chilling lack of remorse. Lane at times shouting obscenities at the victims family. Even wearing a white tshirt with killer written across the front. When we heard this happened, it opened up the wound for everyone. It immediately put me right back in the courtroom, thinking about the whole case again. No one thought we would even be talking about this again. Reporter and we spoke with one of the victims fathers overnight as this was happening, he was in complete disbelief and questioning what kind of system authorities are running here. Officials say theyre trying to figure out what went wrong. George . Bet they are. Okay, alex, thanks very much. Lets get the rest of the top stories from amy. Thank you very much. And we begin with the new concern about the growing threat posed by isis. The cia says it could be three times bigger than thought, up to 31,000 fighters across iraq and syria. Intelligence officials believe isis has recruited fighters from more than 80 countries. Meanwhile, overnight, australia became the second u. S. Alley to raise the threat level, from medium to high, joining the british whos threat level is severe. And new details about the nsas controversial spying program. Court documents show the government threatened to fine yahoo 250,000 per day if it refused to turn over the emails of its foreign users. Yahoo fought that order and lost. And a man jumping a fence on to the north lawn last night. Tourists running away as the secret service responded with guns drawn, eventually tackling the man who was carrying a stuffed animal. His motive, unclear. Overnight a massive fire ripped through this factory in connecticut. Chemicals fueling the flames, fireballs shooting into the sky forcing 400 neighbors to flee their homes. And a heartstopping moment in the major leagues. Marlins allstar giancarlo stanton, struck directly in the face by an 88mileperhour pitch. He was rushed to the hospital with multiple fractures but did stay conscious. He is likely to miss the rest of the season. And the next pitch, another player hit, a benchclearing brawl and two ejections. The brewers pitcher appeared shaken up and apologized. Lets lighten things up a bit now. Kids say the darn test things. Some kids in a school in washington were told a surprise guest was coming to class. What a surprise, it was the president and the first lady stopping by. One lady not so impressed. She was hoping to see someone else, and made it clear to the president when he walked in. Take a listen. I really wanted it to be beyonce. I understand. Malia and sasha would feel the same way. I realized it was going to be you, thats even better. Oh, she made up for it in the end. But the president thanked her for saying that in front of the press. But heres the best part, mrs. Obama even agreed. She admitted she would rather see beyonce, too. He got piled on there. She should be in politics. Wrapped it up. Made it all okay. Thank you so much. I want to move on now to a bomb scare aboard a jetliner at seattle tacoma airport. It happened thursday on 9 11. Security officials taking it very seriously, detaining one passenger for questioning. And Abcs David Kerley is tracking the story from Reagan International airport in washington, d. C. Good morning, david. Reporter if there is a day flight crews were on alert, it is 9 11, so what was a passenger thinking making a bomb threat . And the way the threat was made is really unique. The southwest pilot wasted no time in seattle calling for when he learned of a threat to his plane. He called the tower. We need to go to a spot where we can hold a little bit. Reporter pulling off to a side tarmac, officers boarding the jetliner, looking for one passenger. They zeroed in on him really quickly. Reporter police seen here escorting him off the jet. I was nervous, with it being 9 11, we were concerned there could be a real bomb on the plane. Reporter passengers pulled off the aircraft, they and all of their bags were rescreened, some even checked by dogs. This is one of the most unique bomb threats in the digital age, sources say the passenger turned an Electronic Device into a hot spot, a wifi connection, and assigned a name to that hot spot which threatened a bomb to the southwest flight. He changed it to the bomb is on this seat, his seat, and then he changed it to something about the stewardest being hot. Once we found all of that stuff out, we figured he was probably just goofing off. Reporter the passengers able to reboard for the flight to denver. Southwest told abc news in the statement that the captain made the call about the potential Security Threat and that southwests highest priority is safety and security of passengers and employees. Some of those passengers who were inconvenienced telling us they hope that this man is prosecuted. Lara and george. Thank you.

Flying f18s similar to this one, one pilot has been recovered, one is missing. They were flying over the western pacific near guam. A cruiser, destroyer and helicopters are searching for the missing pilot. No word on what caused them to crash. And Oscar Pistorius is out on bail this morning, free to go home after being convicted of culpable homicide in the death of his girlfriend, similar to manslaughter. Because he was cleared of murder, its possible he could avoid prison time altogether. His first sentencing hear is next month. And pressure is building on nfl commissioner Roger Goodell in the ray rice Domestic Violence case. Espn reports rice told him he had punched his fiance in the elevator. That would contradict what was said this week. There has been an 84 spike since the ray rice video was made public. And police uncovered a different kind of data breach at saks fifth avenue. Store employees stole credit card numbers from the computer in new york and went on a 400,000 shopping spree. Buying everything from designer shoes to handbags. They say 100 boxes of shoes were found in the alleged ringlead ringleaders apartment. And a daring move in this jewelry heist, four men smashed cases. But as they escape, that one customer on the side there, snatching the bag from one of the robbers. It was filled with 80,000 worth in jewels. The store owner said recovering that bag save ed him from going out of business. And finally, a high schooler in upstate new york didnt want the same yearbook picture.

And the new study with teens and sex. Onethird say they have had sex by 16. Some of the reasons may surprise you. We know hormones are at play. And we have heard about peer pressure, this goes beyond that. Everyone is gripping their coffee mug a little more tightly. This was studies looking at three factors that have been known in driving the teens to become sexually active. Think their friends are doing, appear to be doing, and peer pressure. They found all three were important, but what carried the most power and made the most impact on the teens was whether or not they thought their friends were doing it also. This represents a target for intervention to help teens make the right decision. How to do that . In your practice you work with a lot of teenagers. What do you say and take away from that . Its half my practice. I tell my teenage patients, do it because you want to do it, not because someone else is. And the physical and the emotional, cant completely uncouple them. Find an adult you trust and respect that you can really discuss the issues with. What is your advice for parents, ready to talk to the kids about birds and bees, what do you say . Im struggling with it also. Im taking notes. Try to listen without reacting, number one. Number two, reach out to professionals, social workers or physicians. They are there to help make the difficult decisions. And avoid the minime trap. Things are different than when we were teenagers, and dont make your kid into a mini version of you. Thats great.
