we've got the highlights this hour on cnn. good morning, everyone. welcome to "early start." nice to have you with us. i'm ashleigh banfield. >> i'm zoraida sambolin. we begin with the shocking and sometimes sickening testimony in the child sex abuse trial of former penn state football defensive coordinator jerry sandusky. we have heard from two alleged victims already, and a third could take the stand later this morning. yesterday former assistant football coach mike mcqueary also testified, describing what he thought appeared to be sandusky molesting a young boy in a shower. and there was tearful, riveting testimony from the man whose accusations helped trigger the criminal investigation. alleged victim number one said that he stayed at jerry sandusky's house more than 100 times as a boy, and he was sexually assaulted repeat lid when he was just 12 years old.

susan candiotti is live in bellefonte, pennsylvania. susan, what made victim number one break down in tears on the stand yesterday? >> reporter: it had to do with the nature of his painful testimony. testimony that was very difficult to listen to for everyone in the courtroom. and i think safe to say for certainly most of the jurors as well, if not all of them. he described how jerry sandusky began grooming him as a boy, starting with kisses on his forehead, which moved to kisses on the lips. and then raping him time and again. and when he was breaking down during the course of this, and then during a very, very difficult cross-examination, he broke down again when he said this. i'm going to keep telling you the same answer. i want you to stop asking me the same questions over and over. but then he did gather himself. and he answered each and every question asked of him by the defense attorneys. in the end, prosecutors said, are you telling us the truth? and he said that he was.

zi rhoda? >> susan, who was the reaction in the courtroom to that? >> reporter: the jurors were hanging on every word that he was saying. described as looking right at him the entire time with the exception of one. the youngest juror on the -- on the panel who was listening very hard, but seemed to be avoiding eye contact. perhaps because he also is young and closest in age to this 18-year-old who was testifying on the stand. the youngest on the jury is a student -- yes. a student and works at penn state. >> during mcqueary's testimony prosecutors showed pictures of the locker room where mcqueary says he saw sandusky molesting a boy. what was the effect of those pictures? >> reporter: well, this is something unusual that we hadn't heard about before. but prosecutors introduced photographs that included mannequins set up in the shower, an adult one and one of a child,

so that you could best understand what mcqueary was trying to describe what he saw. and that was what was most unique about his testimony. he stuck to many of the facts that we have heard prior to now. but certainly he described that he had no doubt in his mind that jerry sandusky raped a boy in the shower. >> all right. susan candiotti live in bellefonte, pennsylvania, for us. thank you. it is three minutes now past 5:00. we've got new developments for you this morning in those tedly shootings near auburn university's campus. the suspect, 22-year-old desmonte leonard, is now in custody. and he could make a first appearance in court later on today. turns out he turned himself in last night to federal marshals in montgomery, alabama. this after three days on the run. leonard's accused of killing three people, including two former auburn football players, at a party near the auburn campus last weekend. happening now in colorado, a huge shift in the so-called high park wildfire.

all the embers and all the terrain around it. it spreads the fire even farther. also the wildfires, that heated air carries. it lifts off. then it spreads those embers and creates new fires we call spot fires. also thunderstorms in the forecast are certainly hazardous as well. because within a thunderstorm there's a lot of shifting winds. so those winds become erratic and it becomes dangerous for firefighters. you may want the rain to help quell these fires, certainly not the severe storms and thunder. today is the day to get kind of containment on this fire. it will be the hottest day with temperatures well above average in the 90s. but as we head toward the next couple of days, showers, thunderstorms and lightning are part of the forecast. waking up here in the southeast, steamy day. tropical in nature. a wet day in boston. got your travel forecast coming up in just a little bit. that's all next. >> thanks, alexandra. 16 minutes past 5:00. which is a perfect time to get the early reads in. that's the local news making national headlines. this little kid stole our hearts. little darth vader.

offensive to native american groups if that college doesn't go and get approval from those groups. the opponents of all of this say the fighting sioux name is a source of pride and they're looking to push this further. they want to look for a constitutional measure to preserve the name. again, just when you think it's over, maybe not over. >> for an expanded look at all our top stories, head to your blog. cnn.com/earlystart. top boss at jp morgan chase, hot seat. going to tell congress about the bat bets that cost his company billions. christine romans, the expert on all of this, is going to weigh in on jamie dimon and what he's going to face when faced with all the questions today. look, i don't play 'bout my facial hair. but if i grow this out a little bit, i look too much like an english country gent... naaah. a little this way and i feel like i'm from outer space. this and i feel like a viking...

$4 billion. it might be a little bit more. we could find out today. we'll know for sure, we'll know for sure when the company reports earnings in mid-july. jamie dimon is going to be on the hot seat. this is probably the most important performance of his career, quite frankly. he's got to get up there and say we did a dumb thing. i expect him to be contrite. he has been so far. we did a dumb thing. we lost the money. this isn't something you have to legislate around. this isn't something congress has to get involved in. this is just a dumb trade that we made. taxpayer money was not at risk. people who bank at jp morgan chase, their money was not at risk. shareholders, however, have lost a lot of money because the stock has been punished by wall street for this. you will see people in congress, in the senate, really trying to hammer this guy. there could be some people trying to score political points as well. think about it. jp morgan's jamie dimon, he was whispered about a few years ago as being the next potential treasury secretary after tim geithner. >> not now. >> somebody on a first name basis with the president. this is something he's going to

say in his testimony. we have a copy. this portfolio morphed into something that rather than protected the firm created new and potential larger risks. in mind sight, cio's traders did not have the requisite understanding of the risks they took. he's blaming his traders here, too. a lot of people lost their jobs. they're examining this overall. this will be a big story for sure for jp morgan and the future of this guy. meantime, i want to tell you about a big investor i sat down with this week. really interesting guy. jim rogers. he's a legendary investor. he founlded the quantum fund in the '70s with the george soros. a household name on wall street. i talked to him about the american economy and washington and whether he thinks either of these candidates are going to be able to fix the american economy and get jobs growing again, and this is what he said. >> do you think mitt romney understands the economy better than barack obama. >> he certainly understands the economy better than barack -- listen, barack obama six years ago was a community organizer,

whatever that is. he doesn't have a clue what's going on. romney isn't much different from mr. obama. one is from chicago. one is from boston. that's about the main difference. sure, romney understands how the world works a little bit better. is he going to make life better for us? oh, please. >> they're two sides of the same political animal coin? >> yes. not much difference in either one of them. >> hear that? we talk in this country about how different these two candidates are. one ubercapitalist. one quote, unquote, socialist. he's saying no. from the international perspective of managing money these are both people sitting in a country with huge debt, huge deficits, and no real movement forward to fix our long-term problems. next hour i asked him specifically, here's a man who got rich in the united states. i asked him specifically, can you still get rich in america? where's the best place to get rich? i'll tell you what he says next hour. >> don't leave us hanging. >> sorry, ladies. >> i love it. we will stay tuned for that. >> romans! christine, thank you. okay. so president obama famously reached out to muslims around

the united nations now says syria is in full-scale civil war. this is violence in the region. we have a live report, straight ahead. plus, a school using shock therapy on students with severe developmental and behavioral problems. one report is calling this

torture. you'll hear why the school thinks it's not torture, it's a good idea. and in her first interview since being found not guilty of killing her daughter, casey anthony speaks out. hear what she has to say this hour on cnn. welcome back to "early start." we're happy you're with us. i'm zoraida sam bo lynn. >> i'm ashleigh banfield. the violence in syria is growing worse by the day. i know you think you've heard this before. but now, according to the head of the u.n. observer mission in syria, this problem that you have heard about for over a year is now full-scale civil war. a new u.n. report is accusing the government of unspeakable crimes against children. including torturing children, using children as human shields in this war. in the meantime, secretary of state hillary listclinton says russia is sending attack helicopters to support president assad's army.

>> we have confronted the russians about stopping their continued arms shipments to syria. they have, from time to time, said that we shouldn't worry, everything they're shipping is unrelated to their actions internally. that's patently untrue. >> cnn is monitoring the developments from abu dabhi. there's so many pieces i want to touch on. let's start with the children. these reports are unconscionable. children as human shields? >> reporter: yes, ashleigh. we've been hearing about these reports over the past year. now this is coming from the u.n. these children are being subjected to all kinds of abuse. they're talking about children being beaten, children burned with cigarettes or scarred with cigarette burns.

and some of them are just whipped with heavy electrical metals. one boy was even plugged with electrical machines and he was shocked into his genitals. so it's quite shocking, the accounts we're getting from syria. >> as we hear these deplorable reports now coming from the united nations, does this make any difference at this point, rima, that we're hearing the u.n. as well declaring this an all-out civil war? does it make any difference in terms of how the rest of the world watches what's going on or possibly reacts to what's going on? >> reporter: well, all eyes are on the international community. and, specifically, on russia and china. because these are the two countries that are siding by the assad regime so far. but if you look into the situation in syria, probably it makes no difference for the assad regime. we're hearing about violence on

daily basis. just on tuesday, around 60 people have been killed across syria. in alepo, a city by turkey, by the border with turkey, a province, a family of six people were killed. among them, one infant. so the violence is on the rise. and the assad regime is not stopping in any way. >> cnn's rima maktabi. 34 minutes past the hour. the world's opinion of president obama in america is slipping just a bit. take a look at the results of a new pew veresearch poll. folks in europe, muslim countries, russia, china, japan and mexico all expressing less confidence in the president now than in 2009. the decline is particularly glaring in china and mexico. when asked about their opinion of the united states, only the russians and japanese have a more favorable view of america

now than they did in 2009, with those numbers slipping substantially in muslim countries and also in mexico. casey anthony breaking her silence. in her first interview since she was acquitted of murder, anthony told cnn's piers morgan she is ashamed of herself, but innocent in the death of her 2-year-old daughter kcaylee. >> she said, i mean, there's obviously several misconceptions. obviously, i didn't kill my daughter. she said that very firmly. if anything, there's nothing in this world i've ever been more proud of. and there's no one i loved more than my daughter. she's my greatest accomplishment. clearly, a lot of people in america believe she killed her daughter. but i was struck by that was what she wanted to get over straight away, loud and clear. i didn't kill my girl. >> if she said that to you without any prompting, without any rehearsal, without any

lawyering whatsoever, she just got -- just told you that. >> casey anthony also told piers that she has, quote, gone through hell in the last year. gut wrenching testimony and plenty of tears during day two of testimony in the jerry sandusky trial. yesterday one of sandusky's former colleagues mike mcqueary described the day that he witnessed the ex-penn state coach molesting a young boy in the shower. alleged victim number one also said on the sand yesterdtand ye sobbing, while talking about being repeatedly abused by sandusky when he was 12 years old sfwlnch old. students getting electric shock therapy at a school for the mentally disabled. an attorney for the judge rosenberg center told our anderson cooper last night the so-called aversive therapy has been very effective.

clear explanation of their rights in the spanish language. wake county schools said it is disappointed by the complaint, saying it is committed to providing support for all parents with limited english proficiency. a student in riverside, california, voluntarily gave back $1,000 scholarship he was awarded because it was meant for a student of a different race. jeffrey warren is white. the scholarship is spend edinte a black student. he says he could have used the scholarship money but still decided to return it. >> i don't think that the committee knew that i was caucasian. once they obviously selected me and announced me up, they kind of found out. i knew they were trying to do a good deed for the african-american community. i saw that, too. i had no trouble giving it back to them at all. >> warren said when he applied for the scholarship it only stated black students were encouraged to apply. usually joan rivers is making us laugh, right?

the colorado wildfire is taking a dangerous turn. the flames have forced new evacuations this morning. plus, incredible video from a police car's camera. a toddler thrown from a rolled over truck. and what happened next is a miracle. the details coming up. and the nba finals are officially under way. lebron james and the heat, they got a smackdown last night. we have the highlights this hour

on cnn. good morning to you. welcome to "early start." i'm zoraida sam bo lynn. >> i'm ashleigh banfield. bring bringing you the news from "a" to "z." this is something else. sickening and gut abuse trial of penn state football coach jerry sandusky. two victims have testified and a third could take the stand three hours from now. yesterday mike mcqueary also got on the stand and took his turn at describing what he said was something that looked like sandusky molesting a young boy in the shower. there was tearful riveting testimony from a young man whose accusations kicked this whole thing off and helped to trigger the investigation into jerry sandusky. he is being called alleged victim number one and he testified that he stayed at jerry sandusky's house more than 100 times sleeping in the basement as a boy and he was repeatedly sexually assaulted.

susan candiotti is live in bellefonte, pennsylvania. you spent a lot of time in the courtroom even though it's only been two days. these allegations have been piling up one after the other after the other. what's been the effect in that courtroom? >> reporter: i think overall, certainly jurors are starting to have a picture painted for them that all of the at least the two people that have testified so far and you've got six more to go are telling basically the same story, about being allegedly groomed by jerry sandusky, starting with kisses like the 18-year-old victim and eventually leading to sexual assault. his testimony was particularly painful to listen to and riveting. he broke down several times while he was telling what allegedly happened to him. at one point during the cross-examination he broke down again and he said this, quote, i'm going to to keep telling you

the same answer. i want you to stop asking me the same questions over and over as he was sobbing into his hands. he had his hands in front of his face. he gathered himself and went on. ash leigh. >> it's hard to say what would be the ultimate linchpin, whether it's repeated stories that are all alike or one person who can take the stand and tell what he saw in the witness form of coach mcqueary. he took the stand yesterday. tell me about his testimony. how credible did it seem? how on message was he? and did there seem to be any inconsistences in what he said? >> reporter: very few inconsistences, there was cross talk about a date whether he saw something two teams or three times. other than that it is the same

thing we heard from mike mcqueary and he is a star witness because this is someone who actually testified that he witnessed what is believed to be a rape of a boy in a shower. he said in his mind he had no doubt about it, ashleigh. >> there was another witness who testified, a wrestling coach yesterday, maybe he didn't see anything quite to the extent that coach mcqueary witnessed but did see something unusual on a wrestling mat? >> reporter: that's right. they were face to face on a wrestling mat late at night when the school was closed. this coach came in on them. he left something behind and caught the two of them. he said, it struck me as very odd but i kept saying to myself, but this is jerry sandusky, he wouldn't do anything like this. and he said, that's what he used to think. it would be interesting to see whether prosecutors bring this up as they make their closing arguments. is this the same thing that each

of the little boys were going through as well? can this really be happening? >> can this really be true? doesn't this lead too the other issues you uncovered yesterday. it seems so impossible and implausible and yet the university began to collect information in the form of this mysterious file. can you explain how that plays into this? >> reporter: that's right. we don't still have the big picture here about what penn state knew and when did they know it. so it has now been revealed that prosecutors have found a file that was kept by a now retired penn state official, vice president gary shultz and prosecutors say that this file contained information about incidents involving jerry sandusky, unclear how far back it went. we know there were incidents going as far back as 1988. and they say this information contradicts grand jury

testimony. schultz and the former athletic director are charged with perjury and they also found e-mails wen curley and schultz and others. will this lead to additional charges against curley and schultz and other penn state officials before this over? >> oh, good lord. you have a busy day ahead of you so we'll let you go. live in bellefonte, pennsylvania. in the next half hour, we're going to speak about this extraordinarily emotional day in court, what happened on the stand and really just where this case stands so early on, just two days. beth karas, a correspondent for "in session" knows a thing or two about court. she's going to join us with her take on where this case stands. happening now in colorado, a huge shift in the so-called high park wildfire burning 60 miles south of denver.

new ee advantavacuations are in thick smoke grounding the air attack and they expect to have as many as 800 firefighters on the ground. that's expected later this week. the fire has burned about 70 square miles and is just 10% contained at this point. it is being blamed for the death of a 62-year-old woman. the manhunt for the auburn triple murder suspect is officially over. 22-year-old desmonte leonard is now behind bars after surrendering last night. the authorities in montgomery alabama, he had spent three days on the run. he could make his first court appearance later on today. he's accused of killing three people at a party near the auburn campus last weekend. the dead include two former auburn football players. george zimmerman's wife shellie is out on bail this morning. there's a picture of her there. she's accused of lying at her husband's bond hearing about the family finances.

that charge led the judge to revoke george zimmerman's bail and order him back to jail. zimmerman is charged with second degree murder in the death of trayvon martin. he claims the shooting was self-defense. in the meantime martin's parents attended the first public hearing on the task force for the florida's stand your ground law. they say that law can be used to protect aggressors. that what she believes happened on night her son was killed. >> my 17-year-old son was unarmed, a bag of candy and can of iced tea. not committingny crime and i don't understand how this law was passed under these grounds. at 8:10, soledad o'brien will talk with trayvon martin's parents along with their

attorney. check out this police dash cam video of an 18-month-old girl being thrown from an suv. this is in lubbock. cops say the toddler's father was trying to elude them after committing a robbery and rolled his vehicle. you see that circle that's highlighted. that's a child, immediately getting up and walking after being ejected. so she suffered only minor injuries. another woman in the vehicle with that little girl, possibly her mother, jumped out and rescued her. that is nothing short of a miracle. >> hard watching that as she stumbles and falls. >> she's okay. >> relatively thinking. you see her chasing after the vehicle unstable and falling over before she's scooped up by the woman who appears into that video quickly. that's just awful. switch gears now, found in a texas park, $77,000 cash.

my one on one interview heading your way soon. we're happy you're with us. >> good morning, i'm ashleigh banfield. let's start with this lead story. court expected to resume in two and a half hours in the jerry sandusky trial. one other alleged victim expected to make the stand and that would make three in a row. yesterday the 18-year-old who's accusations first triggered the investigation into this case gave graphic details about his alleged abuse by the former coach. the man known as alleged victim one, at first he would kiss me on the forehead good night. later he quote, put his mouth on my privates then said quote, it's your turn and made me put my mouth on his privates. joining me now, former prosecutor beth karas. this is one of those cases where sometimes the story of quantity

can trump quality in a bizarre way. we've only had two of these alleged accusers so far. but the impact of it so far in your assessment? >> reporter: very powerful, ashleigh. this case could have gone forward with one of them. a lot of people say it's just this young man's word against sandusky's, he's denying this. when you have one after another after another, same story, different time period, some overlap also. they tend to corroborate each other and there is strength in numbers. it is very powerful indeed. >> sandusky's defense has been that these victims want money and they are all in collusion in some way. that cross-examination is going to be critical. how has that cross-examination been? on one hand you have alleged victims here and you can't be seen beating them up in front of a jury.

>> reporter: frankly, ash leigh, the beginning of cross-examinations of four and two were like a double direct. they clarify a lot of point about the scenarios. then he moved into motive. this is joe amendola, moved into money motive s these young men knew of each other but didn't have contact. four knew one of the victims, only because he bullied him. it's not as though the defense has been able to develop grand conspiracy on the part of these young men to come forward and say let's say the same thing happened to us so we can sue penn state. he hasn't made much head way in that. >> in all of your years of being a prosecutor, going on for decades. joe amendola, stays seated at the defense table when he's doing his cross-examination and asks questions into the

microphone which forces someone on the stand to look over to him and right over to jerry sandusky. has that been awkward, uncomfortable or caused unintentional eye contact? >> it's hard to tell if there isthy eye contact. it's good for the rest of us in the courtroom that amendola is speaking into the microphone because acoustics aren't great. some courtrooms do have this relaxed lawyer where the lawyers can sit down while asking questions. it was never my experience in new york city. the prosecutor does a combination, stands most of the time but sometimes he sits. i don't know if it was strategic on the part of amendola's part to seat himself where he was to the right of sandusky so that the witnesses have to look to their left over amendola and there is sandusky right there.

they can't really avoid them i suppose. >> we have another at least one, possibly more of these alleged accusers taking the stand today. beth, thanks very much, appreciate it. beth karas from "in session", she'll be in the courtroom most of the day today. soledad o'brien will be joined by dr. michael welener to discuss the defense argument that sandusky suffers from a histrionic stress disorder. >> 33 minutes past the hour. dot com is so yesterday, there's a whole new batch of names heading your name, .lol anyone ? we'll have more coming up.
