the leaders of north and south korea meeting. kim jong-un, the first leader of his nation to enter the south. will this lead to peace? abc's chief foreign correspondent terry moran is in the region and has the latest. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. good evening here. what an extraordinary day. thousands of reporters from all around the world here just south of the demilitarized zone to witness this historic and emotional summit. just weeks ago this whole region seemed under the looming threat of war. but these two men, the leaders of the two koreas, in striking symbolism and long talks are trying to bring, in kim jong-un's words, a new era of peace. surrounded by bodyguards, kim jong-un emerged from the northern side of the dmz, then looking a bit tense he strode alone toward the cease-fire line from the korean war that still marks the border here. a warm handshake with south korean president moon jae-in and then kim steps forward becoming
7:03 am
the first north korean leader in history to set foot on south korean territory. president moon asks, you've come to the south. when can i come to the north? why don't you try now, kim jong-un says. and hand in hand, they cross back. almost as if turning that fearsome border into just a simple line. it was like that all day, symbolism and ceremony. greeting children who live in the dmz. they're the future. ♪ a traditional honor guard, the shared korean culture but there was also laughter. kim jong-un cracking a grim joke as the two began their meetings, i won't interrupt your sleep anymore with early morning missile tests, he promised. the two men so different seem to enjoy it all sitting among the trees alone for almost 45 minutes introducing their wives. kim jong-un's wife all smiles. and they reached a remarkable joint agreement, signed and then celebrated with a handshake triumphantly raised arms and an unexpected bear hug.,
7:04 am
triumphantly raised arms and an unexpected bear hug. afterwards kim jong-un addressing a world audience for the first time. saying, we are one nation and cannot be separated. we are one blood. and in that symbolism there was substance as well. in that joint agreement, the two men declared that by the end of this year they will reach a peace treaty bringing a formal end to the korean war. they will denuclearize the korean peninsula and increase economic ties. but the key question, as it always has been, can north korea be trusted? george. >> right, can they follow through on getting rid of their nuclear weapons. that is going to be a huge question. president trump up and tweeting this morning, praising the progress, praising the meeting saying good things are happening but only time will tell. that also gets to the question of what this all means for the potential upcoming summit between kim jong-un and president trump. >> reporter: well, george, this summit between the korean leaders was seen as kind of the laying the table for the big deal, the summit between president trump and kim jong-un. and there's no question president trump will want to hear from president moon of
7:05 am
south korea. what he made of kim jong-un as a negotiator. right now, it looks like it's all systems go and that summit scheduled tentatively, no date yet, late may, early june. >> yeah, and, in fact, "the new york times" is reporting this morning it's june and likely to be singapore. do we know anything more about the various cities and regions in play? >> reporter: well, that turned out -- the location turned out to be a really delicate negotiation, in part because kim jong-un's airplanes are so old, they have a limited range. so they had to do something within a couple thousand miles. singapore fits the bill. the americans like it. didn't want to do it in the koreas because one side or the other would look subservient. didn't want to do it in china because china is not taking that kind of a role so singapore looks like it might well be it. >> terry moran, thanks very much. michael. now to that stunning moment in court, bill cosby found guilty of sexual assault. his accuser smiling after the verdict was read. abc's linsey davis has been covering the case from the start and joins us from norristown,
7:06 am
pennsylvania. good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. he hasn't stepped foot in jail and yet several passersby shouted free bill following yesterday's verdict that left bill cosby with a few choice words for the district attorney, a man who campaigned years ago on this very promise of putting bill cosby who he called a sexual predator behind bars. the man once dubbed america's dad now a convicted sex offender seen here returning to his home outside philadelphia after a jury found him guilty on all three counts of aggravated indecent assault. several of his accusers told they had to leave the courtroom after they sobbed loudly following the reading of the verdict. and andrea constand, the woman he was found guilty of sexually assaulting in 2004, leaving with a huge smile embracing her supporters. >> mr. cosby -- >> reporter: the 80-year-old cosby will now potentially spend the rest of his life behind bars raising his cane in response to
7:07 am
supporters as he walked to his car. >> you're a pervert. don't wave to us. >> reporter: a stunning fall from grace for the comedian who worked so hard to be considered the ultimate family man. >> you know how the kids love jell-o pudding. >> reporter: both in commercials and as the revered dr. huxtable on "the cosby show." >> let's put on some music round here. >> reporter: cosby who never hesitated to issue his own sometimes controversial opinions on social issues urged young people to avoid prison in this clip from "fat albert." >> now they're in prison. prison isn't any fun and isn't any joke. >> reporter: the prosecution alleged he used that upstanding reputation to allegedly drug and sexually assault scores of women over several decades, six of them testifying in this case. >> we are very disappointed by the verdict. we don't think mr. cosby is guilty of anything and the fight is not over. >> reporter: his accusers rallied together on the steps of the courthouse. >> and i think we were all just absolutely steeling ourself for
7:08 am
another mistrial and trying to figure out how we were going to cope with the depression. you could feel the electricity in the air and when they said verdict -- >> guilty. >> oh, my god. unbelievable. unbelievable. >> reporter: that verdict deciding unanimously by a jury of 12, causing an audible gasp in the courtroom. cosby putting his head down as the three guilty verdicts were read. then later cursing at the district attorney who argued cosby should not get bail concerned he would flee by flying elsewhere. cosby responding, he doesn't have a plane, you expletive. the jury's decision comes less than one year after a previous trial resulted in a hung jury. the big difference this time around, six accusers testified including constand, compared to only two in last year's trial. the fallout has been swift. reruns of cosby's shows immediately taken off the air. several universities took back honorary degrees. and the judge told cosby he has to stay at his home. but because cosby has several homes, he said if he is to leave
7:09 am
this county, he must be fitted with a gps tracking device. sentencing is scheduled to take place within the next 60 to 90 days, george. >> thank you, linsey. we are joined by two of bill cosby's accusers who testified at the trial, janice baker-kinney and lise-lotte lublin. thank you both for joining us this morning. janice, let me begin with you. this has been such a long road. 30 years. what went through your mind when you heard that verdict? >> the first thing that went through my mind is joy and overwhelming tears, sobbing, but tears of joy. but i couldn't stop sobbing. >> i can only imagine and, lise, you were not watching television at the time, teaching in your sixth grade classroom? >> yes, i was. i received a call from my husband. he told me there was a verdict and i said, well, give me some time, you know, let me know -- call me at 11:05 when i'm on my lunch. because i didn't want to be
7:10 am
exposed to this with the kids in the classroom. and he must have called me two, three minutes later. and he said, it's guilty, it's guilty. and i just began to shake. my stomach started tumbling and i didn't know what i was going to do. i was like i just have to get out of here. i've got to get out of this room. >> i can only imagine. the emotions from both of you so powerful. janice, when you testified at the trial you talked about feeling ashamed, feeling that somehow this was your fault. when the verdict came in did that all go away? >> you know, i believe that blame is so ingrained in me for over 30 years that i'm always going to carry a little bit of it. it just still comes from that place of so long ago when women were always blamed for these things. and i think it's going to be a long time before i can ever get that feeling to go away. >> although when you were facing that grilling from bill cosby's attorneys, you gave as good as you got.
7:11 am
>> yeah, he was kind of a bully, mr. mesereau, and i wasn't about to put up with it. so, it made me happy to actually give back what he was giving to me. >> and, lise, what was it like for you to face bill cosby in that courtroom after all this time? >> well, actually while i was in the courtroom, i truly felt like i was there for my civic duty. that it was my responsibility to really let people understand and know what had happened and that he should be responsible for his actions. he was extremely pitiful looking and sad. and he didn't look like the massive man that he was portrayed as from the past. so it was really kind of sad to see him that way. >> you know, you talk about your civic duty. after you found out you were assaulted you found out that the statute of limitations had passed on that crime so you went to work to actually change the law in the state of nevada. >> absolutely.
7:12 am
i'm still changing laws in 2017 and going back in 2019. there's two years civilly for an adult to be able to sue. and it's -- it's not fair. some people aren't even done with feeling the guilt and the -- that they shouldn't have any guilt -- but they're -- they're not even aware of their emotions or feelings yet. so two years is not even a start for them to even recover from this. and to be able to go back and necessarily sue their perpetrator. >> janice, bill cosby is now 80 years old. he could spend the rest of his life in jail. but the judge has a fair amount of latitude in sentencing. what do you think is the appropriate sentence now? >> i believe that it's essential he spend time in jail and it wouldn't break my heart to see him spend the rest of his life in jail. he did -- he sentenced many
7:13 am
women to years and years of therapy and inner jail. i just think he deserves to spend an appropriate time, and if that means dying in jail, it won't break my heart. >> your thought, lise? >> i agree 100%. he's responsible for his acts. he needs to pay for his acts by going to jail. and maybe that will give some of the victims of his an opportunity to heal a little bit to know that he's responsible for his actions, even if it wasn't in their particular situation. he's still responsible and everyone knows the truth now. >> thank you both for your time this morning. >> thank you, george. >> thank you. we are joined by two of bill cosby's publicists, andrew wyatt and ebonee benson. thank you both for joining us. ebonee, you just heard those victims right there saying it wouldn't break their heart for bill cosby to spend the rest of his life in jail. your response? >> i think it's very interesting
7:14 am
that she chose words such as massive man especially when she gave had her testimony her and her friend judy were actually on their way because they enjoyed big black men. and again -- >> you really want to go there? >> she stopped -- talked about getting f'd up and sleeping with bill cosby again. we're talking about accusations that have not been followed up with any evidence besides what our defense attorneys did. there was evidence completely blatantly selectively overlooked by the commonwealth in this situation. again, women who knew who this man was, they had an agenda. they sought their agenda. and then years later, come with accusations because they woke up and saw someone on tv. again, of course they would feel that way, of course they would feel they want him to spend the rest of his life in jail because that's the agenda they set out with from the beginning. >> a jury of bill cosby's peers looked at all the evidence,
7:15 am
decided he was guilty of those crimes. andrew wyatt, where is mr. cosby this morning? how is he feeling? his reaction? >> and just to finish, to follow up on that, you said a jury of his peers. they also had a huge amount of prejudice and bias by having five women also testify to crimes which he was not on trial for. go ahead. >> you asked me how is mr. cosby. mr. cosby is right now with mrs. cosby. he's feeling great. he's confident. he's not -- although he has been found guilty, he's innocent of these charges and he maintains his innocence and he's going to walk around as a man who's innocent because he didn't do anything wrong. >> you're saying he's comforted. what is he comforted by? >> he's confident because he didn't do anything wrong. these are allegations that are a decade long-allegations, george. these women have no evidence. they went to no authorities. they parade these five distracters in to tell stories and talk about the drug habits they had.
7:16 am
you have lise-lotte lublin who said i don't even remember if anything happened to me. i think these jurors got it wrong. you had juror number 11, george, who said before the trial started that mr. cosby was guilty and why wait -- why even waste our time? let's just find the man guilty. he said it to three other jurors. >> our defense attorneys fought hard to make sure that juror did not end up in that box. and yet and still, you had a person with a 100% complete bias sitting there, not interested in any evidence that was presented by the defense. so, yes, they heard evidence. the bias was already there. >> hold on a second. some 60 women have accused bill cosby of various indiscretions of sexual harassment. you're saying all these women, all 60 women are lying? >> may i ask a question? since when are all people honest? and since when all are women honest? we can take a look at emmett till, for example. since when are all people honest? >> and george, this became a
7:17 am
public lynching. what they did, what gloria allred was able to do, she took a salt and pepper shaker. and shaked out a lot of salt and sprinkled in a little black pepper and the south came east and that's what we saw. the sheer volume of people coming forward, that's what they did in order to persuade public opinion. >> and 60 women -- >> i'm not sure -- >> where are the 60 criminal charges? where are those charges? yes, these women have allegations. but where is the evidence? where is the proof? where have they gone to authorities? where have the authorities found there was sufficient evidence to pursue a case. on top of that we talk about -- >> excuse me. excuse me, the jury looked at all that. they made their decision. thank you both for your time this morning. michael? >> all right. thank you, george. we're going to switch the tone a little bit and go back to some news we started with at the top of the show and that is the royal baby news. the little prince's name has been revealed. william and kate calling their newborn son prince louis arthur
7:18 am
charles, and louis is after lord louie mount batten, prince philip's uncle. and charles is, of course, after the baby's grandfather, prince charles of wales. that's why we have an english baby with a french name, george. >> you did explain it to us. >> thanks for solving it all. to rob now. more rain coming from the east coast today, rob? >> a bit of break in baltimore and philadelphia and ice jams melting across parts of the rivers there in maine with flood watches up there. dry day for parts tomorrow.

scared him off. but not before her attacker fired two shots, killing him. >> i loved my father dearly and he took him away from me. >> reporter: we're now hearing from the public defender representing joseph deangelo. she is accusing the sheriff's department of thwarting her efforts to even speak with her client. and she's blasting the d.a.'s office for attempting to try this case in the media. george? >> whit, thanks very much. the book "i'll be gone in the dark" about the golden state killer was just released this year. author michelle mcnamara died before it was completed. but billy jansen, an investigative journalist, helped her finish it. he joins us now along with our contributor, former fbi agent, brad garrett. brad, watching that piece, you said textbook. >> textbook because serial killers can compartmentalize their life. in other words, they can go out, brutalize, kill, go home, make breakfast for the children, take them to school, go to work. so their life is like in boxes. and he fits that profile. >> and the other thing you all
7:42 am
saw early on that made you think he fit the profile was the idea of being a police officer or military. >> absolutely. we knew he had a scanner because he was following the police patrols. and he was hitting where the police weren't while they were staking him out. so we thought he had a scanner. we didn't realize he had an official scanner and he was a police officer. >> you also say that the police early on missed a big, big red flag. >> yeah, when he was accused of shoplifting, and what he was shoplifting was a hammer and dog repellent and he didn't want to have a trial or anything. he just sort of said, all right, i'm good. you can fire me. i'm fine. i'll walk away. that should have been a red flag. he didn't want people looking into what he was doing. >> should have been a red flag a long time ago, brad, but years and years later a genealogy site? >> yeah, exactly, george. this is actually growing. billy knows a lot about this. in the law enforcement community, it takes a fair amount of time, it can take a lot of money, particularly if you only have like a distant relative. and you're really trying to track it through the system. but it does work. >> so like you say it takes a
7:43 am
real commitment and the question now, it happened so long ago, do you think they'll be able to tie deangelo to other crimes? >> i think so. that's the big thing i'm looking at. what other crimes -- we're building a profile right now, building a time line. where was he and how many other crimes could he have been connected to? >> brad, when we talk about the profile of serial killers you say he compartmentalizes life so for the last 20 years, 15 years, no crimes? >> i don't know. i think as billy digs into this, law enforcement goes further, they're going to run dna against other sexual assault cases in or around probably throughout california. so, you know, serial offenders tend to either die or get caught. and so because, george, it's such an obsession for them so the real key is what happened between '86 and 2018. >> michelle mcnamara, of course, died before this crime could be solved. you tweeted that the key players in getting the book together all came together the night before the verdict. what was that like? >> we had a great event in her hometown. her family was there.

8:02 am
there is one, will get cut. george. >> and certainly, terry, the progress made over the last 24 hours makes the summit with president trump more likely. >> reporter: that's right. in some ways this was a test of kim jong-un's sincerity and one of the things we hear from our korean colleagues is that he didn't speak like the bombastic and scary guy that has become so famous around the world, seemed human, evening modest at one point mocking the trains and roads in north korea. seems like he's laid the foundation for a summit. >> one we thought we wouldn't see. to that remarkable moment in court, bill cosby found guilty of sexual assault. let's go back to abc's linsey davis in norristown, pennsylvania. good morning again, linsey. >> reporter: good morning. this is another moment that many people here told me they thought they wouldn't see, even if this was the outcome they wanted. what an emotional day and bill

8:17 am
years. chief medical associate dr. jen ashton is here with the details. walk us through what the cdc found. >> big headline from the cdc. they tracked the rates of autism roughly every two years and over the last two years they've seen a concerning jump. it used to be overall incidence of one in 69. now it's jumped to 1 in 58. they looked at 11 sites throughout the country and 8-year-olds at those sites so it's not representative of the rates overall in the country. there are big state by state differences but again that's concerning number. >> so does it mean there's more autism or just better testing? >> that's the key question. the short answer is we don't know. there definitely is better diagnosis and saw particularly an increase rate of diagnosis amongst african-american and hispanic children which is good and bad because we know early diagnosis is so important for treatment and intervention and prognosis, but, again, we're more aware of it so diagnostic methods are definitely better but they vary. new jersey has much higher rates than arkansas so they're obviously able to detect, screen and diagnose in some states
8:18 am
better than other. >> what's the most important things for people to know. >> number one, parent, know the signs and sips. basic milestones to be aware of are basically no smiling by 6 months of age, no babbling by 1 year of age. pediatricians are looking at this closely and checking multiple times. the second thing, george, we really should be using appropriate language here. not only for the condition but for sensitivity reasons. this is not an autistic child. it's a child with autism. >> that makes a huge difference. >> medically accurate. you wouldn't say a cancerous patient. these children will become adults living with autism. from a public health standpoint we have to be ready to support that. again, early intervention so important. >> critical stuff. jen, thanks very much. over to rob. >> you don't have to say this. hey, good morning, guys. sorry, we're just chatting with the crowd. asking if they're all dog lovers. they all said emphatically yes

8:24 am
this is donna. she says she's in her 50s and writes on facebook. i know that if i was wearing a new outfit or had a new haircut i'd probably be a little hurt if my co-workers did not acknowledge it. it would have nothing to do with my work. >> because we want to have an at moss -- atmosphere where we're friendly. let's not get rid of it just think about it more. >> the younger generation saw it differently if they have a little room to grow in this. i think because they feel like it's all about work, work, work. let's not get too personal. >> this group you have with us in the studio. thank you very much for making yourselves available.

8:26 am
hi, there. i'm natasha zouves from "abc7 mornings." the man accused of being the groenld state killer is scheduled to appear in court for the first time today. joseph deangelo, who is on suicide watch, will be arraigned on two counts of murder. he's suspected, though, of at least ten more murders and upwards of 50 rapes from 1976 to 1986. we'll have much more on this story in our midday news. but right now, it's time for traffic with alexis smith. hi there, alexis. >> hey. we've got a problem in the south bay, a crash blocking at least one lane on northbound 85 right at meridian. so as you can see, we've got several miles of heavy traffic approaching that. a lot of areas that are looking friday light, though, too. this is walnut creek, southbound 680 approaching 24. no issues there. natasha? >> alexis, sounds go scalpel scalpel taco! taco! are you one of the millions of americans whose love for jack in the box tacos has turned into an obsession? no tacos here. hi. i'm jack box and i'm here to help.
8:27 am
by giving the taco obsessed what they need most. even more tacos. introducing my $3 taco deal with three of the tacos you love and a refreshing drink for just three bucks. so if you have a taco obsession... clear! taco! taco! ...don't beat it, feed it. we need to help more tocalifornians get ahead.d, that's why antonio villaraigosa brought both parties together to balance the state budget with record investments in public schools... and new career training programs. as mayor of la, he brought police and residents together to get illegal guns off the streets and keep kids out of gangs, and on the right path. that's antonio villaraigosa. a governor for all of california.

8:29 am
[ cheers and applause ] i am so happy right now. and you're gonna know why. because this is a feel-good story. i'm going to introduce you to an incredible man who has been inspiring me and so many others for years. chris norton was just 18 years old when a football injury left him paralyzed from the neck down. but he is refusing to let that hold him back. he opens up about it in the latest issue of "people." we're going to speak to him and his beautiful bride emily in just a moment. but first, their story. >> you may kiss your bride. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: it's a picture this bride and groom always dreamed of. but for chris and emily, walking down the aisle was not easy. in fact, it was years in the making. the story started seven years ago. chris norton, a football player at luther college suffered a life-changing accident. a spinal cord injury that left him in a wheelchair. his doctors only giving him a 3% chance of ever walking again.
8:30 am
but three years later chris' life changed again when he met emily. his future bride. emily and chris. an invincible team. emily helping chris to walk again and chris -- >> will you please marry me and share my life? >> reporter: asking her to be his wife. just one day after emily said yes, chris attended his college graduation. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: where he miraculously walked with emily's help. that video going viral. and chris telling us that he was not done fighting. future plans? >> well -- >> date set? >> walk down the aisle with emily. >> reporter: chris set out to make it happen. training four hours a day five days a week, emily his constant partner. >> i, chris, take you, emily. >> reporter: and on the couple's
8:31 am
big day just this past weekend, chris making his dream a reality. chris and emily walking down the aisle and into their future as husband and wife. [ applause ] please give a warm welcome to chris and emily. [ cheers and applause ] it's so good to see you both. >> so happy to be here. >> so great to have you back. i mean, you are a man of your word. you said you were going to do this. >> i am. i am. >> and you made it happen. chris, you know, so many people almost 100% of people who go through what you went through are told, you're not going to walk again. it's not going to happen. how did you make it happen? >> well, first, i put my trust in god. that was -- get that right. and i just went to work. what can i do to improve myself? and each and every day i just focused on getting better just a little bit at a time.
8:32 am
and when -- your future will take care of itself when you take care of today. and that was my mind set. that was my motto. it was like what can i do to maximize this day and each and every day i just maximized myself. >> i would say focus big -- dream big but focus small. you focused on day-to-day things that could get to your goal and you made it happen so even though you were both here and said you would do it what was that moment like? >> it was unbelievable because i was doing it with emily. emily is the love of my life. she's incredible. she's absolutely wonderful. she's wonder woman without the cape. and to be able to just, like, share that together. i didn't do it for her, but we did it together as a team and as a couple. and to know that i'm going to have her by my side forever and that we're going to take those next steps as married in love and it was just unbelievable just knowing how far i've come and the work that it took to make that moment happen. >> you worked really hard for this. what was it like for you? >> it was such an incredible moment. i think back to when we first
8:33 am
started walking side by side. chris couldn't even take one step. and so to see him at that point, to where it just was this last weekend. it's such an incredible change. hard work always pays off. you have to sacrifice, you have to work really hard and follow god's plan and so it was such an incredible moment. i am so thankful to chris and the fact that i found somebody who loves god as much as i do because we realize when you put god first everything else falls if place. >> it does. we have a christian school from texas in the corner and they're like nodding along with everything you're saying right now. [ applause ] it's so true. >> it is. >> you believe that and you live that. all right. okay, so they got this going on but do you also know these two young'uns foster five children under the age of 8. ohio in the world do you do all that as well? >> we love it. it is the best thing we've ever done. i know this sounds really crazy, but my life has never been easier. i'm way busier.
8:34 am
but i have just found my passion and my purpose. and i love it and it feels so easy and i just think about there are so many kids out there who don't have that loving family. they have gone through unimaginable things we can never -- like we can't imagine. and we get to be a part of that every single day, seeing the transformation from where they were to where they are. there's nothing better. and that's why we're foster parents because we believe that every single kid deserves to have a family and we know that we can be a part of that. >> and you are. you are. you're making that difference. [ applause ] and i love the fact you have been working on a documentary because there's so many -- there's so many aspects of what you've gone through, chris, and emily, that people can learn from. so tell us about the documentary that you're working on. >> we're working on a documentary called "seven yards" and that's tracks everything from that injury on october 16, 2010, all the way up to that walking moment with emily, as married couple.
8:35 am
because so much went into that walk. it wasn't like, oh, a week ago, we should walk down the aisle. it was seven years in the making, seven years of sacrifice and hard work so we're just thankful to be able to share what really made that walk happen. and then for me to also have a motivational speaking career to share the steps and actions i took that anyone can take because we're all facing adversity. >> everybody's got something. >> we all got something. so to be able to share that with other people and through a book we're working on together is really special and gives us meaning in life and we want to help other people. >> thank you for making your mess your message as you're doing. and we also know that you guys like broadway, don't you? >> yes. >> well, how about a little date night? bring this on in. so we're going to give you -- >> thank you so much. >> thank you so much. >> the broadway show, "prosen." rolling out the red carpet. y'all deserve a date night. >> thank you. we have a lot of fun. >> i can't believe it's been seven years since you were here. and all that you have done. and i can't wait to see what
8:36 am
you'll do in the future. thank you, you'll forever be a part of the "gma" family. >> we love you guys. >> have fun tonight. >> yes, we will. thank you. >> you can read more of chris and emily's story in the new issue of "people." it is out today. you'll want to get that. kylie minogue. kylie minogue is performing live.
