i believe the university took the appropriate step tonight. what is most important is that this fully be investigated and anyone with information be supported to come forward so that the truth can be found. i deeply regret any statements i made that might have inhibited that from occurring or been insensitive to victims of abuse. espn has released a secretly recorded conversation in 2002 between fine's wife, laurie fine, and one of the coach's accusers, bobby davis. on it, potentially damming evidence that suggest fine's wife not only knew about the abuse but allowed it to go on. we to want play some of that for you now. >> i know everything that went on. you know, i know everything that went on with him. bernie has issues. neighbor that he's not aware of,

but he has issues. and you trusted somebody that you shouldn't have trusted. >> yeah. >> bernie is also in denial. i think that he did the things he did, but he's somehow through his own mental teleopathy has erased this. you know what? go to a place where there's gay boys, find yourself a gay boy and, you know, get your rocks off. have it be over with. >> yeah, but -- >> you know, he needs a -- that male companionship that i can't give him nor is he interested in me. because i care about you and i didn't want to see you being treated that way. >> yeah. >> it's hard for me. if it was another girl like i told you, it would be easy to step in because, you know, you're up against. >> we'll play the entire espn report in about 20 minutes. laurie fine told a local newspaper, which declined to report the story at the time, that davis had recorded multiple conversations with her and may have edited them to appear more inflammatory. bobby davis and his step brother

mike lang say fine molested them back when they were ball boys. davis claims laurie fine had a sexual relationship with him when he was 18. today affiliate wchs spoke to a third accuser who has come forward against fine, 23-year-old zach tomaselli says fine abused him. tomaselli is charged for allegedly assaulting a boy in maine in 2009 and 2010. his other father calls him a liar. when asked for a statement, bernie fine's attorney released this. quote, mr. fine will not comment on newspaper stories beyond his initial statement. any comment from him would only invite and perpetuate ancient and suspect claims. mr. fine remains hopeful of a credible and expa dishes review of the relevant yishissues by l

enforcement. our deborah feyerick is in syracuse and spoke with mike lang. what is he saying now in light of all this new information coming out, including those tapes? >> reporter: again, we to want tell you michael lang and bobby davis, the man who made those tapes, they are stepbrothers. both are alleging they were sexually abused by the coach, bernie fine, but they were abused to different degrees. i spoke to michael lang earlier this afternoon. he told me, in fact, the two boys revered bernie fine as a father figure. they were so close that as teenagers they were actually invited to bernie and laurie's wedding. that's how sort of close they were to the family. michael lang telling me that when he heard the description by laurie fine on television on the tape today, describing the relationship that she had with bobby davis and the relationship that her husband had with bobby

davis, michael lang told me his hands started shaking because the account, what he experienced, was simply so similar to what his brother had experienced as well. really, it's the whole penn state scandal that kind of got this all going, where both men realizing they had to come forward and say something. lang, we tried to call. we tried to call bernie fine several times. he did issue a statement saying he's going to let the investigation run its course. we tried reaching out to his rife, laurie fine. repeated calls did not go answered so we went to the home, knocked on the door, the lights were on, but no one answered the door. there is a sign outside the home and it says, quote, we believe in your innocence. we support you 100%, dad. but that was before he was fired just a couple of hours ago. the chancellor, nancy cantor, sending an e-mail to the whole community basically telling them they are shaken by what has

happened. they did not have a copy of that audiotape back in 200 5 when they conducted their own investigation. that tape is now in the hands of syracuse police, who have launched their own investigation. so, really, people are trying to get to the bottom of this as to why the initial allegation wasn't taken seriously, but, you know, we're also told when bobby davis placed the original call to syracuse police, they said the statue of limitations had, indeed, run out but they said he should come in and talk to them directly. that's not something bobby davis followed up on. instead, he decided to record this phone conversation with laurie fine. that tape was then given several years ago back to espn as well as the "post standard". >> deb feyerick for us on the ground in syracuse. as we mentioned, a third accuser against bernie fine has come forward. this one, however, may have some credibility issues. let's bring in susan candiotti

who has been working that part of the story for us. what did zach tomaselli tell you. i know you talked to him on the phone. >> i did. zach is now 23 years old but when he was 13, he says, bernie fine molested him. tomaselli says he told police all about this just a few days ago and tonight tomaselli tells me that after meeting fine at an autograph signing in 2002, his dad told him he could go by himself to see a game in pittsburgh. he says his dad put him on a bus with syracuse fans and when he got to a hotel, fine says that -- he says that fine took him to his hotel room and molested him several times during the night. this is what he told our affiliate wchs. >> i was in the hotel room and he was -- he would put his hand down my shorts whenever i was sitting there watching tv. and he would basically fondle me

four to maybe even five times. and it would go in spurts between 10 and 15 minutes. and it would stop for a couple hours. and then he would start that all over again. >> and this is what he also told me 37 tomaselli says almost i year later in 2003 fine invited him and his dad to a postgame party at fine's house. his dad didn't go but tomaselli says his dad was allowed to stay overnight. he was not assaulted that night. last night he called syracuse police and met with detectives wednesday. he says they grilled him for hours and pressed him to describe the inside of fine's home. a couple days later, federal agents and syracuse police searched fine's home and trash and removed file cabinets. tomaselli has his own troubles. he's accused of sexually assaulting a minor in the state of maine and has a trial coming

up. however his own father calls his son a liar. first he denies his son's allegations that he abused him. and he says his son is making this whole thing about bernie fine up. >> i brought him to two or three games in syracuse. never brought him to a game in pittsburgh or let him go to a game in pittsburgh. never went to any afterparties. never let him alone doing that kind of thing. we ent to a few games and always in the nosebleed section. never got good seats down near within shouting distance of bernie fine. and never talked to bernie fine or ever met him. and zach hasn't either. so it's all fabricated. >> so far tomaselli's father says he has not been contacted by police. obviously, investigators have a lot to sort out, ted. >> why did zach tomaselli come

forward now? what did he tell you? >> he said when he first saw the penn state story, much like the other accusers, he also heard about the syracuse university old allegations. he wanted to support those accusers who had come forward. that's why he said he felt it was time, no matter what, to come forward with his allegations. >> all right, susan candiotti, thank you. up next we'll talk with sports journalists about this story. reporter for "the syracuse daily" tells us how the campus is reacting to all this and then john wertime of "sports illustrated" joins us. may seem like the stuff of fairy tales. but if you take away the faces on the trees... take away the pixie dust. take away the singing animals, and the storybook narrator...

the firing of bernie fine. syracuse associate head coach accused of sexually abusing young boys. a third accuser came forward today. and espn released a sec receiptly recorded conversation between fine's wife, laurie, and his initial accuser, bobby davis. that apparently prompted fine's dismissal tonight from the university. syracuse students could have never imagined the nightmare penn state has been going through with the jerry sandusky scandal could unfold at their own school. the situations are clearly different but the shock and disbelief may be similar. here to help us understand the reaction on campus is michael cohen, sports editor for "the daily orange," independent campus university at syracuse university. also joining us by phone is "sports illustrated's" john wertime. >> what are students saying? >> yeah, it was quite a shock.

i was working on a group project when the announcement came from the chancellor. all three people i was working with were in shock, surprised. something no one was expecting at this point. you know, with, obviously, the new information that came out today, people's opinions started to change but for firing to take place on a sunday evening was surprising for everyone. >> michael, do you think the comparison to penn state is a fair one? >> no, i really don't. when i was at penn state, down there reporting on that as well, what we had was a three-year grand jury report that produced a 23-page report that -- and there were charges filed against jerry sandusky. there are still no charges as of this point filed against bernie fine. that's something that's very important to consider. that's one of the biggest differences. you're also looking at eyewitness accounts at penn state where we haven't had any eyewitness accounts here.

just three accusers coming forward. very different situations. while i can see why comparisons would be made i don't think they're warranted. >> is there anything to suggest jim boeheim acted inappropriately? the sense that he made such a strong statement of support early on here. what's you're take on that? >> yeah. i don't think there was any indication inappropriate in the case of penn state where administrators knew allegations but i think jim boeheim may have been a bit too forceful with his initial statements which not only supported bernie fine, which is totally understandable but seemed to strongly imply there was extoers here. he could have said, i'm not jn joe paterno. if you read his statement, after bernie fine is fired, he takes a conciliatory effect. i don't think jim boeheim said

anything inappropriate in terms of complicity or anything like that, but i think he probably wishes he would have been a little more judicious with that first statement. >> let me ask you this, do you think his job is in jeopardy? >> you know, i think this is one of these situations where it's going to keep evolving. i mean, even in the last 4 hours a lot has changed. right now, i don't think so. again, there's nothing to suggest that he knew any of this. but we saw with penn state, we had this day by day, public opinion. you know, this is a much different situation than it was even 48 hours ago. i think that tape is sort of a gym-chan game-changer. i don't think jim boeheim is in trouble sunday night as we talk but we saw at penn state how quickly public sentiment can change so this is something to watch the next few days. >> what do you think of boehe boeheim's original defense of fine and do you think his job should or could be in jeopardy? >> well, i thin his initial

response was incredibly strong, as we've just touched upon. the fact he came out in support of bernie fine didn't seem to surprise anyone in the community because they've been friends and coworkers for so long, 35 years together. that's a long time. as jim said, that buys a lot of trust with someone. i don't think his job is in immediate jeopardy right now, obviously, because as we just discussed it seems like he didn't know anything at the time. obviously f that changes on a day by day basis, you know, things could be different but as of right now i don't think there's any reason why his job should be in jeopardy if it's true he didn't know anything as he suggested. >> michael cohen, john, thank you for joining us tonight. coming up in our next half hour, we'll have the complete espn report of the secretly taped interview with fine's wife that apparently prompted bernie fine's firing tonight. next, total strangers pull together to save the lives of two people trapped on a california freeway. wait until you see this video.

u.s.a.a. we know what it means to serve. mark schwartz is the reporter who broke the story about bobby davis secretly recording a conversation in 2002 with bernie fine's wife, laurie. we want to play that entire espn report for you right now. espn says an independent audio analyst has confirmed that the voice you are about to hear is, indeed, that of laurie fine. a warning, what you are about to hear contains some graphic sexual content. here's espn's mark schwartz. bobby davis says he knew of one person who could val dade that he was being sexually abused by bernie fine. that person was fine's wife, laurie fine. >> hello?

>> laurie? >> yeah. >> how are you? it's bobby. >> reporter: davis says in october of 2002 he recorded a conversation with laurie fine without her knowledge. a legal act based on the location of both parties. during the call, fine, seen here in hidden camera video from 2003, discussed the alleged sexual molestation of davis by her husband. syracuse associate head basketball coach, bernie fine. >> what did he want you to do? you can be honest with me. >> what do you think? what he always does. >> what? he wants you to grab him? or. >> no, he's trying to make me -- he'd trike to make me -- >> you never had any oral sex with him? >> no. >> no. >> i think he would want to, but -- >> of course he would.

>> reporter: after bringing these allegations to a syracuse police detective in 2002 and get nothing where, davis says he was determined to confirm his story. he says he hoped laurie fine would disclose on tape the details of her own knowledge of the abuse he says started when he was 12 when continued for more than a decade. so what were you hoping to accomplish by recording it? >> laurie was a person i talked to a lot about the situation as i got older. she was there a lot of the times and seen a lot of the things going on, you know, when bernie would come down the basement in his house at night, when i was laying down there. she had to see him every night do that but laurie was the only one else that knew about what was going on and saw things that were happening with her own eyes and that we talked about it. >> you know, i know everything that went on with him. bernie has issues. maybe he's not aware of but he has issues. and he trusted somebody he

shouldn't have trusted. bernie is also in denial. i think he did the things he did but he's somehow through his own mental telepathy has erased them out of his mind. >> reporter: he stayed here beginning at the seventh grade and at one point had his own room in their base many, says laurie fine told him she was aware that her husband was sexually abusing him. >> do you think i'm the only one that he's ever done that to? >> no but i think there was might have been others but it was geared to you. >> one time she told me about incidents where she saw him through the basement window and she left the blind open one night and she was acting like she was taking the garbage out and she was watching through the window. >> what did she see? >> bernie grabbing me, touching me. she said the next day, you know, bob, you've got -- you know, this is when i was a little

older, probably a junior in high school. you got to step up to him. you got to be a man. >> reporter: during the phone call, davis explained to laurie fine that when she was about 27 years old, in the late '90s, he asked bernie fine for $5,000 to help pay off some student loans. >> when he gave you the money, what did he want for is it-t? you wanted you to grab him or he wanted you to -- >> he wanted me to do me, he wanted me to touch him, too. he tried to make me touch him a couple of times. he'd grab my hand and then i'd pull away. >> right, right. he just has a nasty attitude because he didn't get his money nor did he get what he wanted. he didn't get -- >> it's not about the money. >> it's about the [ bleep ]. >> reporter: during the call, laurie fine suggested to davis what her husband should do with his need for male companionship. >> you know what?

go to a place where there's gay boys. find yourself a gay boy. get, you know, your rocks off. have it be over with. >> but -- >> you know, he just needed that male companionship that i can't give it to him. nor is he interested in me. vice versa. >> reporter: at one point lawyer ary fine seems to say he's not the only adult in the household who betrayed davis' trust. >> much more of that report and that secretly taped conversation ahead. bobby davis claiming a twisted relationship with the wife of his alleged abuser. o. i'm a big hunter. oh, what do you hunt? deer. fish. fantastic. ♪ this holiday, chevy's giving more. now qualified buyers can get 0% apr for 72 months on a 2011 chevy silverado. or 0% apr financing for 60 months plus no monthly payments until spring. ♪

before the break we played part of espn's report on that audiotape now. we the to play the rest of it. we want to warn you what you are about to hear contains graphic sexual content. >> reporter: at one point, laurie fine seems to say that her husband was not the only adult in the fine household who betrayed davis' trust. he says he and laurie fine had a sexual relationship that she niche theed when he was 18 and a senior in i school. >> were you ever with her sexually? >> yes. >> slept with her?

>> yes. >> reporter: had intercourse with her? >> yes. >> reporter: does gerny fine know about that? >> i did tell him when i was older. i thought he was going to kill me. i told him about it, what was going on with me and laurie. didn't phase him one bit, honestly. >> reporter: later in the call, laurie fine tells davis she wanted to come to his defense, but she just wasn't capable of it. >> because i care about you and i didn't want to see you being treated that way. and it's hard -- it's -- if it was another girl it would be easier because you know what you're up against. when it's a guy, you can't compete with that. it's wrong and you were aa kid. you're a man now but you were a kid then. >> this is about a kid who was abused and adults who didn't help, who didn't step in, who, in fact, sort of allowed it, created a space for it to go on. >> reporter: danielle roach, who

has been friend with davis since the second grade, says as a teenager she served as a fine's babysitter for about three years. recently, roach listened to the conversation again. davis first played the call for her after recording it in 2002. >> this tape tells me that laurie knew and watched it go on, knowingly that it was going on in her home for a long time. >> reporter: roach, who is now a mother herself, says she cannot imagine how any mother could know sexual abuse was happening in her home and not act. >> it's amazing that she can say some of the things she said to bobby but couldn't pick up the phone and say, this isn't a place for your kid. maybe he shouldn't be here. >> reporter: at the time davis says he questioned whether anyone would ever believe his story, yet laurie fine tells him, she's already warned her

husband one day his alleged molestation of davis might become public. >> i said to him, you know, bobby i and talked and i know some things about you that if you keep pushing are going to be let out. >> yeah. >> he didn't even flinch. >> i know. that's what i'm saying. >> he says, beautiful, let him go ahead, sure. >> he doesn't think he can be touched. >> no, he thinks he's above the law. >> a striking report from espn but davis first gave the tape to the network in 2003. why did e is. pn sit on it for eight years before reporting on it today? fredericka whitfield posed that question to mark schwartz. >> we interviewed bobby davis extensively in several locations for dozens of hours, both on the phone, in camera, on camera, and

we had what we thought was a very credible story. however, what we did not have at the time was someone to corroborate the facts of his story. another alleged victim of the same abuser, the alleged abuser in this case, bernie fine. we did have the tape at the time, as you say, and we had bobby davis, one victim, but only ten days ago, on thursday the 17th, did a second victim actually come forward and appear on camera, that was 45-year-old mike lang, who is the older stepbrother of bobby davis, who alleged a very similar pattern of abuse from bernie fine. so, at that point our goal was to, first of all, get a voice recognition expert who could verify, as much as possible, that this was, indeed, the voice of laurie fine. and we also spent time reaching out to the fines beginning early last week, wanting to get their

comment. we reached out to them through their attorneys. we did not hear from them. in fact, we got the same release that you did today, saying that mr. fine will not comment on newspaper stories beyond his initial statement. >> so what did you authorities say, if anything, when you went to them, if you went to them, and said, hey, we have this tape. while we can't get anybody else to corroborate the information on this tape, what can you do with this information? >> well, you know, we don't see it as our job to go to authorities with evidence that we collect. we did not go to the authorities with the tape. the authorities did speak to bobby davis before the tape was made in 2002. he spoke to a syracuse police detective who says spent about five minutes on the phone with him and didn't even do a detective report. told him the statue of limitations had come and gone. that is why, bobby davis says, he reporteded the tape to try to

at least corroborate his story this way. he was determined that laurie fine, who he says had a window into this abuse, in fact literally one time saw saw at bus going on in the home through a basement window with her husband and bobby davis. and she alleged that actually did happen on the tape. once the interviews were done five days ago, that tape then got into the hand of the police department and it's evidence in this case and the attorney in this case, bill fitzpatrick, has has a copy. >> follow november 17th is what alert youed you or espn to get voice regular nicognition. why was that not done before? >> it's important to do this if we were going to air the tape. these are grave charges. we had to do everything we could to confirm the voice was, indeed, laurie fine. bobby davis, of course, told us it was laurie fine. you hear on the tape he says,

hello, laurie. she says, hello, bobby. in this kind of a case you have to confirm it. that's why we wanted to, before airing it, take the extra step to run it by a voice recognition expert who says, yes, that is the voice of laurie fine. because we compared it to other voice of laurie fine, examples we were able to provide. >> who shot the videotape of her behind a counter? >> we shot hidden camera video in 2003, which is one of the areas we had, you know, her voice on tape. so, we're able to compare her voice from 2003 and the call from 2002. that's how the voice recognition expert was able to verify for us that that was, indeed, her voice. >> now, talk to me about the legality of why that audiotape recording, why bobby davis was not breaking the law the way in which he did it? >> okay. bobby davis made the call from st. george, utah, and the call

was received here in syracuse, new york. now, both of those states, utah and new york, are one-party states. what that means, by law, it is legal to record a conversation with someone without the second party knowing. so, in utah and in new york, the origin and the source of the call, both states are one-party states. the call was then made legally. >> that was mark schwartz, espn reporter talking earlier with our fredericka whitfield. nancy cantor says the university was never given the tape by bobby davis during their own investigation that took place back in 2005. well, coming up, an amazing rescue at sea. a military helicopter crew braves gale force winds to rescue stranded sailors. one of the men at the controls was a royal. we'll tell you who. try. ready, go! ♪ yeah, rock on, mom!

challenges. and what about atlanta? well, it makes number one on our list. the rainfall could be heavy at times and the wind is already beginning to pick up. we'll see reduced visibility. i'll tell you, our temperature have been running 10 to 15 degrees above where they should be for atlanta. looks like after the front moves through, we're expecting temperatures to be back near normal situations. well, as we look at the flight tracker, we've got about 3700 flights in the air. just a few minor delays right now. ted? >> thank you. conrad murray faces sentencing tuesday in the death of michael jackson. we'll talk with murray attorney coming up next. so you earn 50% more cash. according to research, everybody likes more cash. well, almost everybody... ♪ would you like 50% more cash? no! but it's more money.

michael jackson's former doctor, dr. conrad murray, faces sentencing tuesday. prosecutors have asked for the maximum sentence, four years and more than $100 million in restitution to jackson's children. earlier i talked with murray defense attorney and asked him what his client is expecting to tuesday. >> he doesn't really know what's going to happen. you know, what really should happen is he should be given probation. at worst case scenario, low term. i've talked with him a couple times. his spirits are up. but i don't think that he wants to give up on this case. i don't think we're going to quit. and i'm advising him to file an

appeal in this ma either. >> what will be the base of that appeal? >> there's numerous bases for the appeal. california law provides for sequestration in high publicity cases. o.j. simpson case, for example, was sequestered. that was probably the highest profile case here in california. just recently, you recall the casey anthony case. that was a sequestered jury. the potential audience for this case involving dr. murray is about 5 million people. there was a billion people that watched this trial. if ever there was a case for sequestration, this was the case. it was covered by all of the talk shows. all of the commentary, a vast majority of it, was very, very negative. the jury being exposed to that. i think sequestration is a big issue in this case. we were also subjected to adverse rulings.
