12:02 pm

12:03 pm
today. he wasn't with the group at the white house but the other operation center. he said there were several nerve-racking moments before he got word the mission was a success. >> they said they had kl i.a. with geronimo and confirmed, in fact, it happened. that was the moment when we knew that all the work that had been done was paying off. i think the one thing all of us feel pretty good about involved in this operation as a result of what we did, america is safer. >> republican senator john mccain is blasting president obama for a new election ad that questions whether mitt romney would have ordered the raid on bin laden's compound. in a written statement written by the national committee mccain said obama should be ashamed for turning bin laden's killing into
12:04 pm
a cheap political attack ad. he said the president is performing a shameless end zone dance to help himself get re-elected. now to the latest in the trayvon martin saga. a judge delayed a decision on increasing george zimmerman's bond after it came to light that $5,000 in web donations were used to get him out. martin savidge breaks it all down. >> reporter: last week you may remember george zimmerman took the stand and apologized. this week now comes the revelation of the fact he has raised over $200,000 online. this at about the same time his attorney had been arguing the family was indigent, broke, had no money at all. as a result of this the state of florida has come forward and said the bond in this particular case should be raised, maybe raised significantly. the judge has three possible courses of action he should take. one, raise the bond, one revoke the bond, the third is don't do anything about the bond. today he decided not to render a decision because he simply said he doesn't have enough
12:05 pm
information. he wants to know where did the money come from, who had control of the money and when. until he that has situation he decided to hold off on any decision. after that hearing, mark o'mara, the attorney foreign george zimmerman looked on the bright said, the newfound wealth shows one thing, george zimmerman has a lot of support out there. >> i'm also quite happy there are enough people out there that felt it in their hearts they wanted to support somebody like george and gave that much money. >> ben crump, the attorney for trayvon martin's family saw this money as indicating something else, that you simply cannot trust what george zimmerman has to say. >> he did not come forthright to the court when he understood completely what the court was inquiring about his financial status and ability to pay a bond. it went so far that his attorney in inquired about that website. the special prosecutor's office in inquired about that website over and over again.

so intimidated by edwards and he was, quote, scared for his life. cnn's joe johns has the story from greensville, north carolina. >> reporter: recounting the moment he and john edwards finally had it out and parted ways, andrew young, the top edwards aide who falsely claimed he fathered a child with his mistress and fielded the cover-up now said he was afraid. young said he felt threatened by edwards and feared for his life. he said he and edwards went for a drive on a lonely country road. he said edwards was driving erratically after finding he received $700,000 from wealthy donor mellon. i said, if he wasn't going to tell the truth, i'll tell the truth. edwards responded, you can't hurt me, andrew. you can't hurt me. defense attorney asked andrew
12:11 pm
lung if he threatened edwards with the exposure of the whole story, young said he and his family did everything edwards asked us to do. he completely abandoned us, walked away from us, and i was extremely angry. drilling down on the cost of shepherding john edwards' mistress around the country while she was on the run from the media andrew young admitted during the cross-examination he got hundreds of thousands more from two rich benefactors than he actually spent on expenses. defense attorney pressed for more. young said he attributed expense to rielle hunter he spent on himself, his family, for lavish trips, a disney cruise, san diego, cabo san lucas and legoland. he continued to press on the issue of young's dream house on 10 acres in north carolina with a $100,000 sound system. pointing out young got a
12:12 pm
construction loan to build the house and does not have to drawdown on the money because he had hundreds of thousands in the bank from bunny mellon. the cross-examination ended with him quoting from the book asking him, are you concerned people will see you as a cold-blooded schemer motivated by ego and greed motivated by power. young, of course i'm concerned about how people see me. lowell, isn't that where you are. >> the defense is saying they are dirty, too, playing in the same sand box. >> reporter: at the end his wife sherry called to the stand and talked almost regretfully about how many jobs her husband did for the family. things he was never able to do for our family. i allowed him to do that. the trial picks up where it left off with the wife of andrew young on the stand. no word yet on when rielle hunter, yes, he did mistress, is
12:13 pm
expected to testify. joe johns, greensboro, north carolina. >> an interesting one. in 10 minutes legal guys weigh in on john edwards corruption trial and give their take on how the testimony went. why avery friedman is dressed in a tux. i have a feeling not because he's appearing on cnn this morning. baby boomers wanting to do more. one man shares how he found his calling. meineke's personal pricing on brakes. i tell you what i can spend. i do my best to make it work. i'm back on the road safely. and i saved you money on brakes. that's personal pricing.
12:15 pm
>> stories ahead including latest developments from the presidential race. mitt romney gears up for political major league. he's getting hard hits from the obama election team. an in-depth look at the race ahead coming up. a lot of baby boomers who led successful lives reach a point where they want to do more. some have a calling to serve others. one that acted is bill bowling founding director of the food bank. he tells us his story in this edition of age against the machine. >> i'm bill boleniing, founding director of the food bank. i'm 64, will be 65 this year. i knew i wanted to serve when i was a young man. i wanted to make things better, particularly for people who didn't have a lot of power in their life. the whole idea of a food bank is
12:16 pm
to collect unmarketable food and get it to organizations that feed the hungry. we have over 700 organizations that we serve throughout north georgia. the idea of a food bank was that there was a lot of food and a lot of needy people out there. i was in the service for four years, joined out of high school when i was 17, spent almost two years in southeast asia and vietnam. that's a very transformative experience. really came back questioning all the values and all the things i had been taught and had to go back through my own personal journey to find what was important for me. as a baby boomer, one who grew up in the '60s, i think we were all rather idealistic and wanted change, had a vision of how the world will be. i think some of us stayed with it. there's plenty of everything in
12:17 pm
the country. it isn't right some people go hungry. it's wrong. i think we all have a responsibility to do something about it. when we're young we often ask ourselves if we're serious about our call. what are we willing to die for, what are we willing to give our life to. i decided what the answer to that was. as you get older, you have to ask a different question, what are you willing to live for. a great quote by howard thurman says don't ask what the world needs, ask what brings you alive. that's what the world needs, people that are alive. i came alive when i started serving people on the street, when i started making soup. when one decides to do this kind of work, this type of ministry, making things better, you don't retire from that. you may change your role.
12:18 pm
gosh, i feel like i'm just getting warmed up. i've learned enough to really make a difference. >> yes or no, would you ever donate a kidney to your boss of all people? well, a woman did and claimed she got fired. our legal guys will weigh in on this case next. when we got married. i had three kids. and she became the full time mother of three. it was soccer, and ballet, and cheerleading, and baseball. those years were crazy. so, as we go into this next phase, you know, a big part of it for us is that there isn't anything on the schedule.
12:20 pm
some really compelling testimony in the john edwards corruption trial from the prosecution's star witness edwards former aide andrew young. young testified he felt threatened by edwards and feared for his life. so let's go ahead and bring in our legal guys to weigh in. avery friedman, a civil rights attorney and law professor in washington. richard herman, a new york criminal defense attorney and law professor joins us from miami. what do you think about this latest revelation being up against millionaire and billionaires and he felt threatened? >> well, i think the truth is that abby lowell who has been representing john edwards handled it perfectly. we're looking at andy young as a person who is cold hearted. he is untruthful. believe it or not, i think at this juncture you have a guy
12:21 pm
more unlikable than john edwards himself. so i think the prosecution's key witness right now is trying to make a point. i don't think the jury likes him. i think the prosecution is going to have a very, very difficult team making his case proving campaign violations. i think this is simply a personal matter of john edwards trying to hide what was going on from a much smarter wife, elizabeth edwards. >> richard, does that mean prosecutor star witness is fizzling out really fast and there goes their case. >> i don't think so. as we say in new york, with all due respect, avery, when the government stands up in their summation and says, listen, andrew young, you may not love him. we don't go to central casting for our witnesses. this was the man john edwards went to bed with. this was the man he wanted as his right-hand person in his campaign. this the man who will tell you
12:22 pm
the truth about john edwards. the issue of whether or not this 750 or million dollars was used to influence the election or used to cover up the affair and pregnancy, doesn't covering up the affair and pregnancy, wouldn't that have an impact on the election had it been disclosed. i think john edwards is in big trouble. i think this witness made his points. i think the prosecution is still standing very strong in a case against a man who cheated on his wife with a mistress while his wife was dying of cancer and tried to withhold it from her and the public. >> it's personal. richard, that is personal. nothing to do with campaign finances. >> everything to do with a vote by jury. >> let me jump in avery and ask you this. do you think edwards will take the stand? i think everybody wants to hear from him. if he feels confident, do you think he'll take the stand?
12:23 pm
>> not, alison in a million years. has he too much to lose. richard will agree with me on this. there's not a chance edwards will be on the stand. he'll have other strong supporting witnesses. i think it gets down to the question whether or not the jury says he was trying to hide this from a much smarter wife elizabeth. this has nothing to do with campaign finance. an untested theory. alison, i think the prosecution at this point is going to have some problems. >> let's go ahead and switch gears to a bizarre story. a new york woman fired for donating a kidney to her boss. debra strechbs is suing her boss and former employer. the boss asked her. she was fired. he says the claims are baseless. she was treated fairly. she said, no way. i donated the kidney and came back to work and they were mean to me and fired me. what do you say about this?
12:24 pm
>> i think this case is ridiculous. the woman was living in florida, came back to new york, decided to stop off at her former employer, had a brief conversation with one of her employers there, eventually made a decision on her own to donate a kidney to help her employer. there was no quid pro quo, had nothing to do with her employment there. she donated it to a kidney bank so her boss could move up on the ladder as a resittient. she was hired and fired for cause. this case is going nowhere. these threats of discrimination and everything else are all ridiculous. it's actually ridiculous and going nowhere. >> avery, what do you say about it? >> look, the difficulty here is the employee is characterized, couched her claim in civil rights laws. the problem is, she's not disabled. she doesn't even have standing
12:25 pm
to bring a civil rights case. if she were disabled the employer has an obligation to reasonably accommodate. because she was not disabled this was given fair and square. i hate to agree with richard on this but he's absolutely right. under the civil rights laws the case is unfortunately going absolutely nowhere. >> atlantic automotive, that's the company the woman worked for. put out a statement saying, it is unfortunate that one employee has used her own generous act to make up a groundless claim. where is the proof. she said it was given for a reason. is there any e-mails, anything written down? >> there isn't. that's the problem here. only after she went to a psychiatrist who advised her to bring litigation. she should have gone to the psychiatrist before she donated the kidney. >> talked to a lawyer first. avery, before we gorks i wa --
12:26 pm
we go, did you put that tux on for me today? >> there is a dinner tonight. the reason i did, lindsay lohan is going to be here who is richard's favorite, favorite. i'm going to spend all night trying to explain why he beat up on her for all these months. i believed in her redemption. yeah, there's a little bit of a dinner tonight. i get to go. >> enjoy it. just so you know we'll carry the dinner 9:00, 10:00 on cnn, for those of you who aren't going to be there. >> you look great, avery. >> you look great, too, richard. >> thanks so much. you guys are going to be back in 20 minutes to talk about a mom who has just had enough, enough of her 31-year-old daughter crashing on her coh. now she's suing to get her evicted. mitt romney gears up for major league of presidential potomide. [ kyle ] my bad.
12:27 pm
[ roger ] tell me you have good insurance. yup, i've got... [ kyle with voice of dennis ] ...allstate. really? i was afraid you'd have some cut-rate policy. [ kyle ] nope, i've got... [ kyle with voice of dennis ] ...the allstate value plan. it's their most affordable car insurance -- and you still get an allstate agent. i too have...[ roger with voice of dennis ]...allstate. [ roger ] same agent and everything.
12:28 pm
12:29 pm
top stories now. we begin near seattle with a tense standoff to catch a fugitive wanted in connection with the murders of his wife and teenager daughter. peter keller believed to be holed up inside a bunker. he's believed to be armed and supplied. investigators tried to force keller out with tear gas. investigators say they won't force the issue by going inside. no drinking alcohol within
12:30 pm
10 hours of reporting for duty. >> it's known as the nerd prom. don't expect to see people with pocket protectors and calculators, the white house dinner is a list. a mix of power players from washington and hollywood. comedian jimmy kimmel had this to say about hosting the big event. >> obviously the secret service thing is something i'm going to talk about but not necessarily going to be 30 jokes about it. i'll stop at 20. i've never been in the house before. i'll probably never be asked back either. it's really very cool actually. >> cnn will be at that in didder. tune in to cnn tonight. we'll have live coverage of the dinner beginning at 9:30 p.m. eastern.
12:31 pm
the presidential race enters a whole new phase now that mitt romney has assumed the roll of presumptive republican nominee. he goes head to head with president obama, a much different competition than he's ever faced before. here is the national correspondent jim acosta. >> reporter: hours before mitt romney met with college students in ohio as an event. >> as an english major your options are you better go to graduate school. >> reporter: democratic operatives e-mailing this link, recovery.gov showing the choice had received $80,000 in stimulus money for, what else, financial aid. it was another reminder of the difficult task ahead for romney taking on an incumbent president with whip start political team. hammers on student loans this
12:32 pm
week not only got the jump on romney but seemed to be getting under the skin of house speaker john boehner. >> people want to politicize this because it's an election year. my god, do we have to fight about everything. >> reporter: cnn contributor david gergen says romney is in for a whole new ball game. >> he's been playing in aaa league against somebody's opponent on the republican side. now he's moved to the major leagues. he's got to learn to hit major league pitching. it has been surprising how rapidly they come out and want to keep him on the defensive. >> that's one thing george bush said that is right. the president is the decider in chief. >> consider bill clinton's comments on the killing of osama bin laden on the re-election ad. >> he took the harder and more honorable path. the one that produced, in my opinion, the best result. >> it was a continuation of the
12:33 pm
carpet bombing from vice president joe biden. >> we can't say for certain what governor romney would have done. >> all of a sudden it's as if mr. obama is turning around hillary clinton's old 3:00 a.m. question and aiming it as romney. >> what makes barack obama happy? newt gingrich's baggage. newt has more baggage than the airlines. >> reporter: presumptive gop nominee and allies at the pro romney super pac aren't dealing with baggage. as the new ad from karl rove's super pac puts it the republican election this year is taking down a celebrity president. there's also a sense of frustration and memo released by campaign manager matt rhodes who compared the election campaign to a lawn sprinkler spewing out attacks in random directions hoping to get somebody wet. by the looks of it, the obama campaign is nowhere near running
12:34 pm
out of water. jim acosta, cnn, washington. meteorologist reynolds wolf is with us now. i'm hearing there was an earthquake in southern california. >> there was, indeed. it was 4.1, near rancho cucamonga. a couple of aftershocks, one around 2.0. if you happen to live in california you're well aware that happens from time to time. if you're like me from alabama, it's a big deal, pretty big deal. from great lakes to ohio valley. show you something i think is cool. cold air at the surface, boom, freezing precipitation lansing not far from jackson, michigan. a little more snowfall not necessarily in the great lakes but rather back over in parts of the northern plains and into the central and northern rockies. this could get fairly heavy at time. highest elevations 4,000 feet. could see 8 to 16 inches of
12:35 pm
snowfall through the rest of the afternoon and overpass hours. something else going to keep a sharp eye on, that possibility of severe weather, potential for large hail, damaging winds, is lated tornadoes parts of the ohio valley, central plains, big things that will cause frontal boundary drilling in, interacting with the moisture from the gulf of mexico. what you need is temperatures in the 80s, maybe low 90s to cause things to get unstable. that may be this area for you, especially dallas. one thing that may work in the favor, a lot of cloud cover move through the metroplex before it heats up too much. 84 is the expected high in dallas. with that the rain-cooled air could bring you down, possibly in the 70s before the day is out. 61 in denver, 57 salt lake city by the wasatch range. washington, d.c. with 60, atlanta with 84 degrees. tampa an miami into the 70s and
12:36 pm
80s. that is your forecast. alison, send it back to you. >> thanks, reynolds. there's this mom and she said she had enough of her 31-year-old daughter living with her so she's taking her to court to kick her out. our legal guys are standing by right now. they can't wait. coming up next.

12:39 pm
arguments this week on arizona's controversial immigration law. it requires police to check immigration status for people they top for any reason. a handful of states passed similar laws. this case will be watched closely. our legal guys are back. avery friedman in washington and richard herman in miami. hello to you again. avery, you first. this is interesting. this is getting surprising support from quite a few of the supreme court justices. >> yeah. this is striking, alison. we have 70 years of precedent dealing with the supremacy clause. that means immigration is not supposed to be monkeyed around with by the supreme court -- by the states, i should say. let me tell you something. both the conservatives and the republicans -- conservatives and liberals on the court today lambasted the solicitor general. let me tell you something. my prediction is many of the
12:40 pm
provisions of the arizona immigration law for me, and it's troubling, will be upheld. i think that's a radical change in american constitutional law. very troubling. >> richard, what do you think? >> if i hear and listen carefully, i remember when we discussed this originally. avery was oh, there's no way this is going for hold up. >> that's right. >> some of the provisions are consistent with federal law. they have a shot. that's exactly how the court is perceiving this. when judge sotomayer, a liberal, looks at the government attorney and says your position is not selling, that spells big trouble. when a justice says to the government's attorney what's wrong? you mean the feds don't want to know about illegals, that's big trouble. parts of the law are going to be held constitutional at this point in time, allison, additional charges down the road
12:41 pm
against these very same provisions. i believe this bench is going to ratify certain provisions of the law which mandate if you get stopped you must turn over papers. if you don't or you don't have papers, you're going to be detained. >> let me ask you this, throw this out there. how enforceable is this law. think about how police departments even all across the country, arizona, dealing with huge budget issues. do they have the staff, the people, everything else that follows once you find an illegal immigrant that needs to be deported. >> that's a brilliant question. i represented police officers over the decades. they have too much to do. the idea they are now out there taking a guess on who is illegal, who isn't illegal complicates things. that falls into the argument. let me tell you something. if the u.s. supreme court upholds some of these decisions, watch for congress to come back, revisit, write a better law, a
12:42 pm
stronger law. there's no way arizona law can stand. if the supreme court pelosi it up, look for congress to act here. >> alison, we're talking about arizona and what the police will do in arizona. no state more than arizona is having a problem with this illegal immigration. >> it's true. >> it will not be a problem in arizona. >> i don't agree. >> why not? go ahead. go ahead. >> you've got 2 million hispanic people, about 80% of whom are legal and have a right to be there. they are the ones -- they don't have a problem. they are the ones congress has to protect. >> all right. let me make a hard right turn here to this interesting story. this mom is suing to evict her daughter -- her daughter is out already. she lives in connecticut. she only wants to be identified as diane. she had a 31-year-old daughter living with her, hanging out there. she didn't ask the daughter to pay out or sign a lease. she wanted her to help around
12:43 pm
the house, wash dishes and clean one bathroom in exchange for a free place to stay. the daughter would not leave. she had her locks changed in one bedroom. what the mom had to do, get up and go to court to get the daughter evicted. obviously this doesn't help the relationship much. a lot of parents in these tough economic times, avery and richard, are finding this is something they can relate to. this is something they can do with kids shacking up and not helping out. >> the standard is the person a guest or are they a tenant. if the determination is made they are a tenant, the parents actually have to begin eviction proceedings. it's run state by state. here in connecticut, the woman, the mother had no choice but to bring formal eviction proceedings against the daughter. alison, you said it. what does that for for the relationship? that's a dead relationship now. >> in 1987 connecticut courts
12:44 pm
said they have a right -- mom does have a right to get rid of the daughter. it's an outrageous situation, can't believe you have to go to court, i would eject it. if i knew it was an important day like your birthday i would have worn a tux but this is for the white house correspondence dinner. >> sing for her. >> if you sing to me, i'll tell you whether it's my birthday or not but now you have to go ahead and sing. >> good enough we said happy birthday, i think. >> let's go back to the case real fast. let me ask this. is that really the only step someone can take if the kids just not doing something in the house? is there anything else to be done? >> what they can do frankly if they are not a tenant, a guest, especially if they are engaging in criminal behavior, which is
12:45 pm
exactly right here, like any other guest the owner of the house can call police, be removed. there is no required eviction procedure. let me tell you something, that goes on a lot more in this country than you might imagine. this is not landlord, tenant, out she goes. she's finished. >> as a guest. if she's a guest when she goes out to the store, shopping, take her stuff, put it on the lawn, bolt up the door and there she goes. >> just like a movie, isn't it? a really bad movie, if you ask me. >> yeah. you're not living with your mother. >> thank goodness. >> or are you? >> no, i'm not. no, no, no. >> good. >> all right. thanks so much. it's been great. >> happy birthday. >> you too, thank you. thank you. a brave woman puts her life on the line. we're going to take you to haiti and introduce to you a cnn hero and her mission. er 21st polar shifts will reverse the earth's gravitational pull and hurtle us all into space. which would render retirement planning unnecessary.
12:46 pm
12:48 pm
cnn heroes is a chance to bring incredible stories of people overcoming hardships. this week we're introducing to you a woman facing death threats because she's trying to stop violent rapes of women, children, even babies. >> translator: two years after the earthquake, the situation is still the same. the people are under the tents. they don't have electricity. there is no security where they sleep. they are getting raped. in haiti, things are very difficult. before the earthquake there were rapes happening. now i can say it is total disorder.
12:49 pm
