we'll take you behind the scenes. and two former boy scout leaders doing this now facing serious jail time. for knocking over that rock. but not just any rock. the story this hour. first up, those new accusations against chris christie. one of his former political allies is leveling them saying christie new more about the lane closures than he admits. erin, this former appointee, david wildstein, was a port authority official who actually oversaw the lane closures. what is he saying? >> you may remember david wildstein, because it was

christie's chief of staff who e-mailed him, time for some traffic problems and he had that enfamous replay, got it. the port authority refused once to pay his legal fees, so his lawyer wrote a letter friday. in the letter, the attorney claims that evidence exists tieing christie to having knowledge of the lane closures while they were closed. that is a direct contradiction to what christie was saying. there's no indication of what that evidence is or if wildstein himself even has it, so the revelation may be less damaging than reports suggested yesterday because it doesn't necessarily state he knew about the underlying scandal at the center of the investigation. so, in response, the christie administration doubled down in a statement friday evening that reads mr. wildstein's lawyer confirms what the governor has said all along.

he had no prior knowledge of the lane closures and whatever mr. wildstein's reasons for for closing them to begin with. he first learned lanes were closed as reported by the press and no indication that this was anything other than a traffic study until he read otherwise the morning of january 8th. there's still some lingering confusion about the governor's timeline because there have been a few discrepancies, but he's sticking by the bottom line that he didn't know about the closings ahead of time, but if wildstein's bottom line is true and that is still a very big if at this point, the new jersey star ledger has an editorial this morning calling for christie to resign. >> meantime, the investigation into the scandal, you know, does continue. any idea whether the next step has now been influenced by this latest letter? >> the assemblyman leading the

committee that is investigating said yesterday that if this evidence exists, he's like to see it and he's surprised that the press without him seeing it. now, you may remember that those subpoenas went out, 20 that is, a few weeks ago and all of that information, the documents, text messages, are due to them on monday. so we should be seeing a lot of developments coming up this week, fred. >> thanks so much in washington. so, these new allegations, well, they didn't stop. the governor from appearing in a very public event last night. he attended a 60th birthday bash for howard stern in new york. the governor made a few jokes even more introducing one of the night's biggest musical acts. here's an audio portion of the xhe comments. >> don't be dispinted, i'm not the representative of new jersey who you want to see right now. the representative of new jersey

you want to see right now, it's not bah bah bowie. no. the representative you want to see is one of new jersey's favorite sons, one of my dpood friends and a great artist, ladies and gentlemen, john bon jovi. >> and there were plenty of other celebrity guests at the party including adam levine. a review of nearly 2600 cases across the state. all of the cases were processed by the same chemist in a regional crime lab. the work was done for 80 different agencies spanning 35 different florida counties. the review was triggered after prescription pain pills were replaced with overthe count medications in an evidence room. the cases go back as far as 2006. in about half an hour from now,

we'll get more details from the florida journalist who has been covering that story. we are now just hours away from the biggest football game of the year and while fans are getting ready to enjoy the super bowl, thousands of security officials are focused on trying to maintain safety. alexandria steele joining me live from super bowl boulevard. this is a very complex security plan and it goes way beyond just officials right there on the ground. explain. >> absolutely. a lot of layers to this, including a level up in the sky. in order to keep those 80,000 fans in the middle of metlife stadium safe, you've got to keep the air space around it secure and that is a job for u.s. customs and border patrol agents. they took us up in one of their blackhawk helicopters. those helicopters will circle a ten-mile perimeter while the game is being played. that will be a strict no fly zone. if someone tries to invade that

space, it's a blackhawk that would intercept. on the ground, security will also be in full effect. we visited a secret command center where state and local authorities are working together to monitor information and they'll have lots of cameras they'll be tracking while the game is being played. this is what the lieutenant colonel of the new jersey state police told us. he is the instate commander for the super bowl. >> will be checking the rails that nothing's going to be disruption on the rail lines. pilots will be flying with infrared capabilitiecapabilitie as night vision 24 hours a day, to make sure nobody's trying to get into the perimeter around the stadium. >> you'll also remember this super bowl is being billed as really the first mass transit super bowl. that makes the security measures even more difficult. even more complicted, but it is something they are as you just heard, already at work on today.

>> all right, very excited fans. they don't care what you're saying. just excited to be there behind you. very cool. thank you so much. all right, another major sporting event starts next week. just days from now. thousands of miles to the east. from east rutherford over to new york city with the super bowl hosting, so we're talking about sochi, russia. a completely different set of security concerns surrounding the olympic games there from the stadium to the ski slopes. tens of thousands of russian security forces are in sochi and warships are also patrolling the coast of the black sea. russia has said this olympic games will be safe. u.s. athletes who arrived this week are just trying to focus on the games. focus on their sport, but many of them are worried about security. warning their families and friends to simply stay home in the u.s. this week, jake tapper asked president obama what he would

say to people who wanted to go to the olympics. >> a lot of members of congress and not just like the fringe ones, the ones who are serious lawmakers have said to cnn they would not let their family members go to sochi. they are not confident it will be safe. you see all the intelligence. i know that you're not going, i know michelle and sasha and malia are not going, but if close friends of yours or the girls said hey, we're thinking about going, what would you tell them? >> i'd tell them that i believe that sochi is safe. and that there are always some risks this these large international gatherings. i'm always going to feel even better if it's inside the united states because then we have full control over what happens, but the russian authorities understand the stakes here. they understand that there are potential threats that are out there and we are coordinating

with them. we've looked at their plans. i think we have a good sense of the security that they're putting in place to protect not only the athletes themselves, but also visitors there. so, what i would say is that if you want to go to the olympics, you should go to the olympics and you know, we're not discouraging in any way americans from participating. always an amazing, wonderful event. >> the full interview with the president is wide range and covering everything from immigration reform to marijuana policies and you can see more of it tomorrow morning, 9:00 a.m. on state of the union with candy crowley. amanda knox has been convicted on murder for a second time. will she now be extradited back to italy to serve out her sentence? that's straight ahead. welcome back. how is everything? there's nothing like being your own boss! and my customers are really liking your flat rate shipping. fedex one rate.

she spent four years in an italian prison. now, amanda knox could be headed back there after a court convicted her again. knox says she'll never return to italy. elise has more on what could be an epic extradition battle for knox. >> fred, this time, amanda knox is fighting her conviction from home instead of an italian prison cell and she says she's determined to remain here in the u.s. >> once again, a convicted killer under italian law for the murder of her roommate, meredith

kercher. >> until the very end. >> after years in an italian prison, knox was freed in 2011 when an appellate court threw out her conviction. but the supreme court demanded a new trial. where knox is found guilty and sentenced to more than 28 years in prison. >> this really has hit me like a train. i did not expect this to happen. i really expected so much better from the italian justice system. they found me innocent before. how can they say it's guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? >> knox vowed to appeal the verdict before the supreme court, but if she loses, she could face extradition back to italy. the state department wasn't ready to go there. >> the case is still it's my you

saiding, working its way through the italian legal system. >> under the u.s. italian extradition treaty, an offense must be punishable under the laws of both countries. knox could claim double jeopardy. she is already hinting at irregularities by italian prosecutors, making the case against extradition. >> i really hope people really try to understand that when you have overzealous prosecutors and coerce of interrogations like these things happen and i'm not like, i'm not crazy. >> and she could also argue that she's already spent a lot of time in detention in italy. and that justice would not be served by extraditing her. so, and then ultimately, the secretary of state is going to have to you know, make the decision. >> extradition law expert bruce

sagaris says the u.s. could simply ignore the request, but that would be highly unusual in a case with a close ally like italy. the u.s. risks damaging relations with italy if it refuses to extradite amanda knox. the u.s. points to a number of high profile cases where suspects got off included the 22 cia agents who were convicted in absentia for the rendition of an egyptian cleric. they have not served any time. >> thanks so much. this one right here, two ex boy scout leaders thought knocking over this ancient rock was kind of funny. police didn't. now, action is being taken and why parents are in an uproar over what happened at a school cafeteria this week.

two ex boy scout leaders are now charged with third degree felonies after pushing over a rock in utah's goblin valley state park and then posting it all on youtube. ♪ wiggle it just a little bit >> oh, boy. so, that wasn't just any rock.

park rangers say it was ancient boulder millions of years in the making and the two men are accused of defacing a state park now. let's bring in nick valencia. >> absolutely very serious. doesn't match up with the reaction to what they actually are accused of doing. they have very awkward defenses here. they say they were doing it for the best interest of passers by, for people that may have been injured by this rock. but the district attorney simply didn't buy it. levelled third degree felony charges against them and they have a court date in march and if convicted, they could face five years in prison, $5,000 in jail. they've had their reputations damaged within the boy scouts. they dismisseded them from their roles as leaders. they were in the utah valley park because they were on a boy scout trip and this is what resulted in that, back in october of 2013. five year, $5,000 fine. we're going to find out in march, but this video evidence is going to be very damaging.

the reaction we talked about last hour, it's very, very interesting they would put this defense forward. seeing the tone and sort of how they act, reacted to what they did. >> so, they were boy scout leaders at the time of this taping. they were with boy scouts. boy scouts like witness to this? >> well, somebody was recording. i don't know who was recording. one of them in charge, but we don't know who was around them as they were doing this, but we know there were there with a group. boy scout troop. and this is what resulted from that experience for them. >> wow, what a mess. >> it's going to be a mess for them. >> thanks so much. all right, we are also now following a story out of florida. where thousands of criminal cases could be in jeopardy because of evidence tampering. new information on that straight ahead. so what's better, bigger or smaller?

we're following a story in florida where the department of law enforcement has announced a review of nearly 26 cases aross the state. all of the cases were processed by the same chemist in a regional crime lab. the work was done for 80 different law enforcement age y agencies across 35 different counties. let's get a better idea of what this means. i'm joined now by andy who's been following the story. what's your understanding of what is being alleged here? what's the problem? >> well, the problem is apparently, one chemist dealt with all the cases -- there was a problem last week, the

pensacola region. they determined there had been some prescription drugs replaced with over the count medicine and there were some missing drugs in other cases and they traced these cases back to the same chemist and now, they've had an opportunity to look at several dozen cases. apparently, already compromised, so now, they're going to look at all the cases this individual chemist is involved in. jerry bailey says the criminal investigation into this chemist, who hasn't been identified yet, apparently they think it's possible that he may have either been taking the medicine or maybe even dealing in the medicine. they don't know yet. but that's where they're investigation is leading at this point. >> okay, so just so i'm clear. we're saying it is alleged this chemist to be looking at evidence that included prescription drugs. those drugs, that evidence for

his own personal use or perhaps involved on the black market in some way? >> correct. it's entirely possible. they think he may have been trafficking it in medicine. again, very important point, this individual has not been charged yet. he's been placed on leave and still being paid at this point until he is charged. they do expect if they find evidence, they believe they will, they expect he's going to be fired and criminally charged, but to this point, it hasn't happened yet. the upshot of this two is they believe it is certainly possible. hundreds of cases in 35 florida counties. now, florida only has 67 counties. it is possible commissioner jerry bailey told us -- current cases could be tossed out, so people currently in prison could

be released, defending on what they find. they're going to -- monday to all of these jurisdictions, they're going to go and start looking at cases of this particular chemist and see where it leads them. >> thanks so much. from tallahassee. keep us posted op what you learn. we'll have much more after this. you're saying i can get at&t's network with a data plan and unlimited talk and text for as low as $45 a month? $45 a month. wow...no annual contract. no annual contract. no long-term agreement. no long-term agreement. really? really. ok, so what's the catch? there is no catch. ok, i'm obviously getting nowhere with you. i'm gonna need to speak with the supervisor. i am the supervisor.
