"the wall street journal" reporting a grand jury issued a subpoena last week for at least one person involved in the jet's development, seeking e-mails and other documents. this, as the ethiopian transport minister says the black boxes indicate that are clear similarities between the ethiopian boeing max 737 crash and the crash of a lion air max less than five months ago. the minister citing no evidence or specifying the evidence. >> if the ethiopians know there are parallels between the crashes, speed is of the essence. there's no sense on waiting a month. it only endangers the flying public. >> reporter: those possible similarities are the reason the

faa grounded the remaining part of fleet of the jets worldwide. they say they're just starting analysis on the voice recordings with the ethiopians and would not comment on similarities. both had wild up and down movements on high speed. moments before crashing, panic. a person familiar with the air traffic control communications says the captain radioed, break, break, request back to home. request vector for landing. the plane crashed moments later. killing all 157 on board. dod says there's not a current investigation into the certification process of this aircraft. boeing is not saying anything about the ethiopian minister's comments about clear similarities. instead pointing to software upd update. coming in the next couple of weeks. michael? >> can't come soon enough, david. thank you so much. now to the latest on the

that required medical treatment. any reports of a suicide attempt are simply untrue. the 20-year-old was spotted smiling later that afternoon, out with boyfriend, gabriel glen, posting this since-deleted selfie and writing, expletive, i'm chillin' like bob dylan and grabbing a bite to another. >> michael asked, do you and the family want to come to neverland? >> reporter: this, just two weeks after the documentary "leaving neverland" aired on hbo chronicling years of alleged sexual abuse by michael jackson. "people" magazine reports that the jackson's only daughter hasn't seen the film, but is urging her followers to stay calm, saying, reacting with a calm mind is usually more logical than acting out of rage. but a fan responded, they want to tear his name down and stop playing his music, but it's cool. who cares that he died for this? paris defended her father. yeah, they do that to everyone with a good heart and tries to make a difference. but do you really think that it's possible to tear his name

down? like, do you truly believe they stand a chance? relax, and have peace. jackson notoriously kept his children's lives private. but after his passing, paris and her older brother slowly became more public and more independent. paris is now an actress and model, gracing the covers of top fashion publications and starring in major ad campaigns like calvin klein jeans. in response to the documentary, the estate of michael jackson filed suit against hbo last month. in a statement, an attorney for the estate said, in part, they chose to fund and produce a film where they knew that the two subjects for many years testified under oath and told family, friends and law enforcement that mr. jackson did nothing inappropriate to either of them. >> in the past, she's attempted to harm herself. but she's denying these reports. >> two years ago there was a "rolling stone" article where she said that she had multiple times attempted to commit suicide. the most recent time at that time was 2013. she went to get therapy in utah which she said got her on the right track.

a wonderful influence on me. it's been 20 years. and a lot of good people have -- have been involved in trying to solve this thing. >> reporter: this, just one in a string of cold cases seeing major breaks with the use of dna. last month, police in california arrested james allen neal in the 1973 murder of 11-year-old linda ann o'keefe, matching his dna to the crime scene. >> public awareness and also the dna is what got us here. >> reporter: now this morning, coley mccraney remains behind bars without bond facing charges of capital murder and first-degree rape. here's the crazy thing. police say mccraney wasn't even a suspect in the murder back in 1999. he was only linked to this by the new dna test. that's the power of these tests. >> and with these databases, do we know which database was used? in this investigation. >> we don't know this one specifically.

but the other high-profile cases we mentioned was a thing called jed match. it's very popular. it's free. a lot of people have put their dna there willingly and have certainly helped police in many of these cases. >> really have. amy, thank you. we turn now to a manhunt under way for the driver behind this incident that was caught on camera. take a look, that atv dragging a police officer down a street in nashville as he tried to stop an illegal gathering of about 100 atvs and motorcycles. sergeant john bourque suffered minor injuries. thankfully he is now recovering at home. people are asking anyone who has information about that driver right there to please share it. scary. >> thank goodness he's okay. coming up here on "gma," the prep school at the center of that college admissions scandal. did it help students cheat? college admissions scandal. did it help students cheat? it's a reminder of your struggles with psoriasis. but what if your psoriasis symptoms didn't follow you around?

>> reporter: his friends. >> we are his followers. we've seen him do wondrous things. >> reporter: his parents. >> why has he chosen me? >> you are pure of heart and soul. >> reporter: even his enemies. >> this last supper was an incredibly awkward moment for judas. >> reporter: it's an epic four-part event. called "jesus, his life" airing on history in the weeks leading up to easter. it's the story from his birth. >> we brought gifts. take them. >> reporter: to everything that came after. >> he faced what we face today. ♪ >> if we want to understand western history at all, we must understand the story of jesus. >> so incredibly powerful. i want to discuss this. but we were talking in the break before you came out here about what happened in new zealand and when those times happen, we just

search for some sort of healing. how do you help us do that? >> you know, robin, a lot of things in life happen that we don't understand. in the times of tragedy, it's important to turn to our faith. that's where we can draw strength from. god can give us peace to help us get through these things. i think, too, robin, it reminds us that life is fragile. let's be a part of the solution. let's love one another. let's be good the people. let's appreciate the people in our lives. but, our hearts go out. we pray. we comfort. we try to be a part of the solution. >> let's talk about the similarities that we have and not the differences that we have. this is -- i have to tell you, and i was telling you also, this story has been told so many times. it's so different. you could not say no to this. >> i really couldn't. i loved seeing the life of jesus through the eyes of the people that are there. what did joseph think when he found out his wife was pregnant and she said she didn't know a man?

you see a little background. great experts in it. it was something that we were really excited to be a part of. >> it gives you a different perspective. through different eyes. >> it does. we have heard the stories. we see it 2,000 years later. but when you're there, is he really the son of god? what they dealt with. the faith some of them had and didn't have. it's inspiring. >> it talked about the different relationships. which one, the relationship that jesus had, struck with you? >> i loved the one with peter. the everyday person. jesus didn't choose the people you would expect. peter was a fisherman. he was rough. he made mistakes. sometimes he cussed people out. even when failed, when jesus needed him the most, jesus forgave him. it's the story of christ right through peter.

>> and forgiveness, which we all need. that's a lesson that is timeless. >> a powerful message. >> i know. well -- was there anything that you, my friend, learned through this? >> well, i learned just more about the culture. and the -- you know, that the setting at the time. and that -- i was inspired by that, i learned from that. and just putting myself in those people's shoes. it really took on a different perspective to me. i thought, would i respond like joseph? would i have that kind of faith? it's an inspiring series. it's not a preaching series. it's just for everybody to learn about the most important man that ever lived. whether you believe he is the son of god like i do or not, jesus was somebody who changed cultures. >> we took it from all perspectives. it's a really fantastic series. >> and there's something that people saw in the setup piece when you said he faced what we face today.

we live in turbulent times. what is it, the timing of it, to have this air now? >> i think more than ever today, robin, we need the message of christ. of what he brought. love. forgiveness. respect. being good to people. being selfless. it's easy in our lives today to get caught up in our own world and just think about ourselves. but jesus' life was about lifting people up. and helping somebody else. we need to put that, you know, make that a part of our life. being a blessing to somebody else, lift somebody up. >> okay. he's taking us to church, y'all. this is as good as it gets. you're going back to your roots. executive producer. because, before you were behind the scenes. >> 17 years i worked for my dad. i was doing all the production and all that. i still love doing that. it's another way to get the message out. some people will not listen to a

preacher. but they'll watch a documentary. >> you said you're not preaching at people through this series. >> no, it's very entertaining. very uplifting. you'll learn from it. and just, i think, anybody can be inspired by the life of christ. what he brought. forgiveness. love. respect. redemption. second chances. that is what we all need in life. >> and that is timeless. thank you, joel. >> thank you, robin. blessed to be with you. >> he's a little hoopster. you going to be watching march madness. >> i have been watching. >> "jesus, his life "premieres monday, march 25th, on history. you want to check it out. we'll be right back. 25th on history. you want to check it out. we'll be right back.

we're back now on "gma" with a look at history's "knightfall." exploring the world of the mysterious knight's templar. adrienne, you had a chance to go behind the scenes. i saw instagram pictures. looked like fun. >> not only did we travel to historic city of prague. we learned so much about the real-life stories of the characters. tom cullen is the show's dashing leading man. this season, he's joined by none other than the legendary mark hamill.

yes, that's me trying to sword fight on what looks like the street of 14th century france. i disarmed you. and no, i don't know what i'm doing. and that really looks like i'm winning here. here in prague. >> three, two, one, action. >> reporter: i'm also watching this castle being stormed. it's all just another day on the action-packed set of "knightfall." >> we fight for the holy land. >> reporter: the drama series about the legendary knight's templar. the star tom cullen plays landry, a knight in season one. >> i have brought great shame to our house. >> this season is very much about landry rediscovering who he is and kind of putting him back on track, and the journey is not that easy. >> reporter: on that journey

with him, a new co-star. the one and only mark hamill. >> brother landry speaks with a repentant heart. i remain fixed in my doubt. >> reporter: what can you tell us about your character? >> well, talus's an initiate master. he's responsible for training applicants to become templar knights. >> what is it like working with than icon? >> who? >> don't do that to me. >> i was obsessed with "star wars." it's a dream come true. we're flinging swords around. it's difficult not to make a light saber noise. >> reporter: only swords here. some of the most beautiful costumes you can imagine. it feels amazing to be dressed like a queen. as for the brutal 14th century

fight scenes, they apparently take their toll on 21st century bodies. how much energy is it taking for you to do this? this is a workout. >> it is. and -- i have to tell you that -- i do the best that i can. with the horse riding. and the -- the sword fighting and all that. >> reporter: i would think that you're in the best shape of your life. >> yeah, when i first got it, i was a cross between a -- and a christmas pudding. >> reporter: mushy? >> yeah, soft. >> reporter: that softness has now given way to the hard realities of life as a 14th century warrior monk. the cast couldn't be more thrilled. >> these wonderful sets and. the great cast. and, the stories that they have given us. it's -- it's like pinch me. i just can't believe it's still happening for me. i'm enjoying every minute of it. you're dead. >> we had you. >> you had nothing. >> if you loved season one,

you're going to look so forward to season two. it begins next monday. and mark hamill will be live here in our studio on friday to talk more about it. >> yep, looks great. can't wait to have mark here. >> and there's only one way to follow that up. that is with ginger. hey. yes, let's talk about how much it has snowed in northern wisconsin. this is crandon. you can slide off your roof on to the piles of snow. this weekend, the 50s coming at you. good morning. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist mike nicco. increasing high clouds today and warm away from the coast, where we'll be stuck in the 60s. the rest of us in the mid-70s. the 70s, they have a short life this weather report rt life sponsored by subaru. george, to you. here with marcia clark. she came to fame as o.j. simpson's prosecutor.

know executive producer of abc's new show "the fix." let's take a look. >> are you back there? maya? you're never gonna get me, maya. i'm an innocent man. >> ooh. a little menacing. marcia, welcome back. the show is about a prosecutor loses a high-profile case. leaves the d.a.'s office. i guess you write about what you know, right? >> a little bit, but then we immediately take off from there. this is not a simpson retelling at all. that story has been told. but this is all fictional. we took my origin story from there. but maya travis who plays the prosecutor, is not me. she was not married. didn't have children. she, after the trial, was able to go to washington, start a horse farm.

she fell in love with a handsome cowboy, who was fantastic and gorgeous. this is not my life. i mean -- fantasy, you know. i get to write. >> you get a fantasy on the fun side. it's also a bit of a revenge fantasy. >> it's not mine, though. i would have done things very differently. maya is not me. but it's a fascinating, to me, a thrill ride. this is a roller coaster. it's meant to be entertainment. it's meant to keep you on the edge of your seat. guessing, did he do it? did he not? what do you think about the character? we call it a law show that's not about the law. you see him there playing sevvy johnson, the defendant. he's riveting. you go home with him, his ex-wife. the children. the prosecutor, robin tunney. with matthew, who is her co-counsel. you get -- it's all behind the scenes.

scott cohen, who plays the lawyer for sevvy johnson. he's somebody you'll start out hating and wind up loving so much you can't wait to see him again. every character gives you the thrill of the layers of them. i promise you, at the end of the tenth episode, we'll button the whole thing. you'll get all the answers. >> sounds like you're having so much fun with this. what a team you have put together. basically women all at the top. >> yes, yes. it's a unique thing in hollywood. it's probably happening more and more. i got to do this with my co-creators liz and sara. fabulous, wonderful show runners. and they were so much fun to work this show with. we had a project before, that's how we all met. laurie zacks, executive producer, got us all together. we did a project. when that didn't happen, they called up and said, hey, we have an idea. what if -- the prosecutor loses a big trial and then, eight years later, it's suspected he killed again. i said, but it's not me, right? they said, no, not you. >> we cannot wait to see it.

"the fix "premieres tonight right here on
