good morning. raising cain, the controversy surrounding herman cain heats up as the lawyer for one of his accusers speaks out. why he says that cain is being untruthful about his past behavior. in the jury's hands after an emotional and high profile trial, the fate of kuhn rcan ra murray is now in the hands of a jury. and william and kate plus one? the pregnancy rumors are spreading around the royal couple and many are wondering if the duchess of cambridge is carrying the future heir to the
5:01 am
throne. today is saturday, november 5th, throne. today is saturday, november 5th, 2011. captions paid for by nbc-universal television good morning, everyone. welcome back to "today" on a saturday. i'm lester holt. >> and i'm jenna wolf filling in for amy. >> we have lots to get to today. starting with gop candidate herman cain. the restaurant association acknowledged friday that a formal complaint was filed when he was ceo of the organization back in 1999. that happened as cain was making a 2000 presidential bid when he eventually had to drop. more on that just ahead. also, a disturbing story out of texas, a warning, this video is difficult to watch. it's a 15-year-old girl getting beaten by a bully at her own school as other kids stood by. the young victim now needs
5:02 am
surgery for her injury. we're going to talk to her about the ordeal when she and her mother join us exclusively. >> seems like there's always someone there to shoot it, but no one there to hut help. rumors are flying in the uk that the duchess of cambridge could be expecting. she's been seen making some interesting choices, let's put it that way, when it comes to food and drink. we're going to take a closer look at the buzz. people are watching this poor young lady at every -- >> at every angle. >> maybe she just wasn't thirsty. >> perhaps. a little later on, we're going to have an inside look at an institution both here in nbc and in american pop culture. saturday night live. every weekend, we're putting together our show. guess what? the folks across the street at snl are doing the same thing, plugging away at theirs behind the scenes. i got a first look behind the scenes. finding out about everything that goes into the show that's made us laugh for more than 35
5:03 am
years. you know, i love what i do for a living. but if there was no such thing as "today" show, that's my dream job. >> they come in and have very long days. >> they go through those things over and over and over again. >> have you done to a show? >> i was at a rehearsal a million years ago. i'll have to get back there. we're going to start this morning with the controversy very surrounding presidential candidate herman cain and new information we're learning about those sexual harassment allegations against him. mike viqueira is at the white house. >> reporter: the lawyer for one of herman cain's accusers says the specific allegations against him and there was more than one incident. with that accuser now saying that she and her husband now want to put this behind her, she's not going to be stepping forward publicly. the question becomes, can the cain campaign survive? early friday, herman cain got a
5:04 am
rousing welcome. >> i've been in washington all week, and i've attracted a little bit of attention. >> reporter: but by late in the day, the lawyer for one of cain's accusers says he believes there's little doubt of the gop front-runner's guilt. >> where there's smoke, there's fire, the fact that it's multiple complaints tells me that it's more likely than not that there was some sexual harassment activity by this man at that time. >> reporter: that came as the national restaurant association, where cain ran and where the allegations allegedly took place. that a sexual harassment claim was, in fact, filed against herman cain, ceo writing the association and mr. bennett's client subsequently entered into an agreement to resolve the matter without any admission of liability. sweeney also says the nra will waive a clause, barring cain's accuser from speaking out in person but now it appears she will not come forward.
5:05 am
>> mr. cain knows the specific incidents that were alleged. my client filed a written complaint in 1999 against him specifically and it had very specific instance in it. if he chooses to not remember or not acknowledge those, that's his issue. >> don't even bother asking me all of these other questions. >> reporter: cain's accounts of the incidents have varied since the story broke sunday night. by thursday, he issued a flat denial. >> sean, this is absolutely fabrication, man. i don't know what else to say. how many more ways can i say this stuff is totally fabricated? >> reporter: there is evidence that cain could survive politically. his campaign says it has raised $1.6 million in cash this week alone, four times the monthly average. cain sought to turn the page saying, in part, we look forward to focusing our attention on the real issues impacting this country, like fixing this broken
5:06 am
economy and putting americans back to work through our 9-9-9 plan. and a new poll taken has cain tied with mitt romney. >> reporter: jenna, that same poll, washington post/abc poll shows 70% of voters say this scandal does not matter to them when deciding who to vote for in a republican primary. jen jenna? >> mike viqueira at the white house, thank you. here is lester. nbc political analyst richard wolffe joins us now. >> good morning, lester. >> very often, it's a death spiral as the dribble, dribble of information comes out and eventually they crash and burn. you heard the poll numbers there. that doesn't seem to be the case with cain. is that so much a judgment on him as it is the media and how we're covering this? >> it's a little bit of both but this is a different candidate, different environment. you have to understand who he appeals to, why his numbers are
5:07 am
so high in the republican party. he has this ultra conservative base who hate the media more than the general population. with this particular block, the more he's attacked or perceived to be attacked by the media, the more he faces these persistent questions about his behavior, the more popular he gets, the more fund-raising he can do. toughing this out with this particular crowd, that's important in the early states like iowa or south carolina, that's great for him. with the general population, though, with other voters, the more moderate, centrist republicans, that's where he'll see erosion. >> every potential candidacy starts with the question are there any skeletons in the closet? at the time of the settlement in 1999, he was dropping his first presidential candidacy. it was a fledgling candidacy, just $20,000 in the bank.
5:08 am
could there be a tipping point in this candidacy? >> the problem for him, more of this stuff dribbling out, the more accusations, the more people, the more firsthand accounts come out, the less he can talk about jobs, as he says he wants to talk about or his 9-9-9 plan, which he has been talking about consistency of messaging. his actual overall numbers against the president, if he were to get the nomination, have stood up pretty well. when those start to decline because he's not hitting the main subject voters care about, that's when you're going to see softer republican voters in these primaries, in places like california saying maybe he's not the guy to go head to head with the president and that's when the erosion comes through, but there's a time delay. >> no one seems to be talking about that this is the guy that's bucked all the odds here as the front-runner. there's perry and romney. everyone speaks about them as being the eventual front-runners in all of this. yet here cain continues to stand
5:09 am
at the front of the pack with all of this. what does that say about this race in its entirety? >> i think it says about the volatility and the surprises that this electorate has given us, not in this cycle but in 2010 and 2008. remember, for a long, long time, people did not want to accept that someone named barack obama could never win the nomination, never mind the presidency. whatever the differences are -- and they are enormous -- between herman cain and barack obama, you are looking for something that is new, that doesn't sound like a politician and this may reinforce the idea that he's not your typical politician. >> now to jenna. new job numbers out friday showed that unemployment dropped just a tick to 9% last month. joining us with more insight is steve liseman. good morning. >> good morning. >> it's up a little bit in the
5:10 am
past couple of months, but are you surprised by that number? >> no. it's about around what they were expecting, looking around 100,000, most economists on wall street. they got 80. the most important thing about this number, it's still tepid job growth, not enough to bring down the unemployment rate and not relative to the 14 million unemployed. but the one good sign -- one of the good signs inside the report is that they went back and revised upward august and september. they added an additional jobs. we created about 200,000 private jobs in september, about 100,000 in october. one of the real places we're losing jobs is government jobs, state and government lay off workers. >> unemployment numbers fell and, two, on the flip side, more people reported leaving their jobs. what do we take away from that? >> it's a counter intuitive
5:11 am
indicator. people hang on to their jobs when times are desperate. they will not leave their jobs voluntarily. we had an uptick in job levaver that economists see as a good sign. numbers remain ridiculously high, 5.8 million people unemployed for 27 weeks or longer. the single most economic problem in this country right now. we did get a tick down of about 300,000 workers or people in that category who were not unemployed for that long. >> so, big pictures, are any of these numbers enough to make a difference to give us the light at the end of all of this? >> in september, we thought we were going into a recession. these numbers tell us there's no recession. job growth still remains very weak. has to be in the 100 to 150,000 range to immediately start bringing down the unemployment rate. >> we'll have to wait and see on that. steve liesman, thank you, as
5:12 am
always. craig melvin is sitting at the news desk this morning with the headlines. >> good morning to you. we just learned moments ago that andy rooney has died. the long-time commentator on "60 minutes" was 92 years old. he had just retired from the show. to greece now, where george popendraos hopes to secure funds for the bankrupt country. michelle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, narrowly surviving that confidence vote overnight, ended up with a three-person majority but after he formed a coalition. this means that the european bailout of greece will likely move forward as planned. the specter of greece defaulting, running out of cash, leaving the euro zone was
5:13 am
starting to rattle the markets. some saw this as a second global recession. will the opposition here continue to press for snap elections and that kind of political turmoil could, you know, delay a bailout. also, will greece be able to continue to enact these austerity measures like raising taxes, lowering wages that many here see as grossly unfair, greg. >> michelle kosinski, thank you. a huge crash involving at least 20 cars and six trucks there. the collision happened friday on the m-5 highway. several were killed, over 30 were hurt, some seriously. the cause of the collision was not immediately known. two dozen people got sick at a football game friday night in texas. barnett was evacuated after students, mostly band members, complained of nausea. that is under investigation.
5:14 am
involuntary manslaughter trial against dr. conrad murray, deliberations started friday. court officials say the panel of seven men and five women have not asked the judge any questions so there are no indications of its progress just yet. we will have more on the case in our next hour. gabrielle giffords and her husband, former astronaut mark kelly, have written a book about her survival of a near fatal gunshot to the head. it's about her slow and agonizing efforts learning how to talk and walk. that will be released november 15th. that's the news for now. >> so difficult to hear about andy rooney. >> yeah. >> just one of a kind. >> and we just saw him a couple of weeks ago. >> right to the end. >> we'll have more on his life in a couple of moments. we do want to get a check of the weather from bill. last weekend, we had a huge snowstorm in the east. little bit of snow in the west to deal with.

5:19 am
rooney who died at the age of 92. >> reporter: andy rooney's signoff on "60 minutes" on october 2nd was part thank you note to his fans and typically part kermudgedly request to his fans if they should see him in a restaurant. just let me eat my dinner. >> he had a subsequent career as a radio and syndicated columnist. his views on "60 minutes" made him an iconic star. he was unique in the term mament of television stars. >> i don't think of myself as a television personality. i'm a write whore reads what he's written. >> it made him appointment tv. millions tuned in each week to see him as more than 1,000 essays were collected and 15 books. oo long the way, people go got to know an original, the plates
5:20 am
of many families rumpeled and staples irrational. but moved, too, when people proved to be kind and brave. >> they made up for a lot of liars, cheats and terribles among us. >> and as a writer who regularly put his own views on display, he learned a lot about himself, too. >> but i do care. i care a lot. >> he entered world war ii as a picifist. but he came to believe that some wars are necessary. >> the germans had been wrong in starting it and i decided i had been wrong in objecting to the war. >> and when his essays outraged xh, comments of homosexuals, he apologized and meant it and carried on. >> i know i've been terribly wrong sometimes, but i think i've been right more often than i've been wrong. >> a voice for the thoughts of every man, silenced as he knew
5:21 am
it would be. >> i wish i could do this forever. i can't, though. >> reporter: but a voice at memorable as that ticking clos clock, the through few minutes for a few decades, his. mike taibbi, nbc, new york. >> we're going to really miss him. >> i used to always, always fast forwarded to the end of 60 minutes. i watched, get my andy rooney fix in and then you watch the show. >> a huge, huge, huge loss. now we're going to switch gears and turn to a story of redemption for two men in illinois. they spent nearly two decades behind bars in illinois for a crime they didn't commit. but today, they're free men start to go live the lives they missed out on for so long. pete williams has their story. >> first, it was robert taylor walking out of a state prison in illinois and greeted by his father. it came 19 years after he was arrested for a brutal crime that prosecutors now concede he did not commit.
5:22 am
>> with a family like mine, they refused to allow me to give up. >> that wasn't going to happen. >> then not teaching me how to give up, i'm a fighter, here a fighter. >> and then another man convicted of a crime, james harden, released the same afternoon. >> i've been sitting for nearly 20 years, so let me move. >> his brother, jonathan barr, was to be freed as well. they were teenagers when they were arrested in 1991 and accused of a raping and murdering a 14-year-old girl. even though none of their dna matched evidence from the crime scene. the case began to collapse earlier this year when a judge agreed to have crime scene dna retested. it turned out to match the dna of a convicted rapist, a man who was 33 at the time of the murder and lived about a mile from where the body was found. he's now in jail on other
5:23 am
charges. while harden and barr were in prison, they missed out on high school and any chance at college. >> they missed the best years of their lives. meanwhile, the real perpetrator is at liberty out there creating more serious violent crimes. >> defense lawyer says about one-fourth of those wrongly convicted gave false confessions and teenagers are pressured into admitting something to make the interrogation stop. >> can you even imagine what that's like? >> you don't get that kind of time back. >> spending all those years, knowing you're innocent. >> and everyone around you saying, i didn't do it, i didn't do it. you look at that and it makes you think about when you're ever called for jury duty and the huge responsibility that you have in a case. we see these cases all the time.
5:24 am
you look at that and realize the weight on their shoulders. >> but it's amazing to think how much of this has been overturned. >> thank goodness we have the advent of science. still ahead on "today" justin bieber is speaking out. the latest, just ahead.
5:25 am
5:26 am
good morning to you. a little breezy and very, very cold. if you left the window open last night, you're probably chattering this morning. thank you for joining us.m saric ulayo i'm chris sanchez. you blame the canadians or at least canada. >>ri canadian air conditioning. that's what we had for the last couple of days. right now, 30s inland. livermore, pleasantton and gilroy and we have a frost advisory for the north bay interior valleys. i don't think we get colder than the temperatures right there
5:27 am

5:33 am
vehemently denied. now the website tmz reports that the young woman previously accused a former boyfriend of being the father, as well. >> i'd just like to say basically that none of those allegations are true. and i know that i'm going to be a target, but i'm never going to be a victim, you know? i think it's just crazy because every night after the show, i'm gone right from the stage right to my car, so it's crazy that some people want to make up such falgz false allegations. but set the record straight, none of it is true. >> do you know this woman? her name is maria yeater. >> never met the woman. >> as soon as the news broke, bieber and his team issued a denial. >> he's been comfortably speaking publicly about this which says a lot. >> what the canadian krooner really wanted to talk about the is his brand new album, "under the mistletoe." all of the proceeds will go to charity, including the food bank

>> yeah. and i thought eventually it will just die down. once a person backs away one or two times, that's enough to say, that's it, you know? >> i can't imagine what it's like to be a parent and having to watch that video of your child. >> i feel very guilty. i wasn't there to protect her. the school didn't protect her. >> you had talked to the school because there was a pattern of harassment. you had spoken to the school and what was the reaction? >> they said they were going to take care of it. and it really didn't get taken care of. he tried, i guess, but it got worse. and that's when patti said, you know what, mom? just let it go. it gets worse. because if it wasn't a group of girls, it would be another group and it just kept on. >> has it gotten worse since this video came out and have you received more or less harassment? >> yeah. they haven't said it directly to me, but they talk about me saying i made the school look back and i should have just let
5:43 am
it go. like i took it way out of control. >> you know, i see this when i talk to you and there's a bigger issue here. these tapes come out, no one is in there rush to go help you that i can see. instead, someone is shooting this. is this someone who was with the attacker and -- >> yeah. that they're all they are friends. >> that whole group was there. it wasn't just one person, it was several people with their phone cam ss ras. when did you find out that the tape was out there? >> when we cot goc from the emergency room. some friends of ours came out and told us that the video was on youtube and i couldn't believe it. >> you were both brave to come on and talk on national tv. patti, you weren't crazy about going public here. >> i told her when you all called us and she was like, no, mom, i don't want to do it. and i was like, but you know now you're just not speaking for yourself.

temperatures later on this day will slowly warm up around lunchtime. showers in the north bay pushing south towards 4:00 across the bay area. those clouds, though, will probably block some of the sun so we have the chilly start to the morning, i don't think we warm up much this afternoon. mid to upper 50s for highs. tomorrow around this time, we get an extra hour of sleep thanks to rolling back the clocks an hour tonight and might see lingering showers for the morning but clearing and cool to wrap up the weekend. second half of the weekend should be drier, especially tomorrow evening. >> okay. thank you very much. it happened again, for the second time since occupy protesters clashed with police, a u.s. war veteran is seriously injured. this is video from the night and the confrontation. our cameras were rolling when ken was arrested late wednesday night in downtown oakland. friends say he wasn't protesting but walking near the occupy protesters when he came face to face with a wall of police. they say that's when police beat him for no reason.

6:07 am
dr. can rad murray responsible for the superstar's death. >> you've heard from, i believe, 49 witnesses. you've been presented with 330 plus exhibits. >> the prosecution tried to present murray at careless and degreedy. do you really believe it was the anticipation that conrad murray is going to be paid $150,000 a month and michael's sleep, that can rad puree has left him there complaining and is simply on the phone elsewhere, or is it more reasonable that michael jackson is being infused and is, in fact, asleep, and can rad murray has been going about his business of telephone calls, e-mails, text messages. >> they were quick to bring up jackson's three children. >> they do not have a father because of the actions of conrad murray. >> for the defense, it was a very different closing.
6:08 am
>> they want you to convict dr. murray for the actions of michael jackson. they just don't want to tell you that. >> hoping the jury of seven men and five women find jackson gave himself the fatal dose. >> at one point do you draw the line about dr. murray's responsibility for a grownup? this is not a reality show. it's reality. and the decisions you make, is it making good tv is how it affects real human beings and people that love you. so i hope that you do the right thing and find dr. murray not guilty. >> reporter: so far, there has been no word at all from the jury, not even any questions, leaving some to wonder what the timing may tell us. >> this jury is struggling with coming to a verdict. in long cases where the jury goes past friday afternoon, that's generally indicative. the jury has been there for a
6:09 am
while. the prospect of coming back on a monday morning is never something that's welcome. >> fwu jury will be back on monday morning to continue deliberations as many now wait to hear what they decide. for "today," kristin dahlgren, nbc news, los angeles. here with more inside msnbc's martin bashir. su sonny, how difficult a question is it before the jury right now? >> it's a pretty difficult question because they need to determine causation. they need to determine whether or not michael jackson killed himself or whether or not the defense is possible. we heard so much evidence of addiction and there are people on this jury, it's a very unique jury, by the way, that have had addiction in their families. they've had addiction kill their loved ones. and so i think they're really struggling with those theories. >> the prosecution offered a lot of evidence against him, but at the same time, did they ever really get us inside that room? do we really know what happened
6:10 am
in there? >> i think so. i mean, i have to tell you, even if -- i'm a former federal prosecutor, but even when i take my federal prosecutor hat off, i think the evidence was significant that dr. murray did things that were so beyond the pale. such extreme deviations from the standard of care. every single doctor that i've spoken to, every single doctor that testified said you just don't do this. this is simply something that is not done. >> and, martin, let me get your thoughts on the fine line that the defense had to walk here. they had to take a man, who is already a tragic figure in the minds of many people, michael jackson, and basically say he did this to himself. was that a -- did they walk that line carefully enough is in the? and could it come back to bite them? >> i think they did. if you remember, the defense attorney said, anybody has to say it, somebody has to say it. if it wasn't michael jackson who wasn't the subject of these proeths proceedings, then can rad murray wouldn't be here.
6:11 am
the fact that this case had even been brought. but the prosecution then exchanged that he was the doctor who was, in effect, conducting a scientific experiment in a brchl. something that not a single anesthesiologist anywhere in the world would have perpetrated, propofol in a bedroom without any resuscitation equipment and failing to monitor the patient at all times. >> and then there's the tapes. and the tapes, i mean, this goes on for the narrative of the pitiful figure, michael jackson, who is being record perhaps without his knowledge, but how does that play to a jury to hear michael's slurring these words and barely able to talk? >> i think it gives the impression that here was a man who was desperately under pressure. he was preparing for 50 separate shows. and one of the defense arguments has been that that pressure that came from the constant promoter was overwhelming for michael jackson and that was why he took
6:12 am
medication. what i knew of him, we traveled from las vegas to berlin to los angeles. he wasn't preparing for a concert. he was very relaxed. i never saw any drugs. therefore, it's hard for me to imagine how he would be raekding with the prospect of 50 shows. having said that, there is the tussle in the spotlight. is there about michael jackson, the alleged drug addict, or is this a case about conrad murray, a disreputable doctor? ultimately, it's about murray. that's where the focus is. >> and sonny, the jury has not asked for any readbacks or any questions of the judge. what is your instinct as a prosecutor? on a friday, they say we're coming back monday. >> typically, a verdict that comes back quickly is for the benefit of the prosecution. so when the jury is digging in and they're willing to come back after a weekend, that's trouble for a prosecutor.
6:13 am
but this is a very unique jury. you've got nine people that have prior to jury experience. you have a biochemist on that jury. you have a paralegal on that jury. you have a professor on that jury. they've ordered in highlighters. they didn't have for evidence, you this they've ordered in highlighters. >> there's a lot of science here, propofol, loreazapam. >> and they are clearly focused in on the evidence. they're digging in and digging in. but we want them to do that. there is a man's life that hangs in the balance. we're talking about a potential conviction of four years in prison and the death of michael jackson. so we want them to work hard. >> we're going to have to end it here. thank you both for coming on and talking to us. still to come on "today," why the rumors on the british throne could be on the way.

6:17 am
kate were offered a taste of a protest paste, one given to starving children in africa. three royals indulged, but kate declined. >> william had some, passed it to kate who sort of gave her this look and she passed it on. >> the snack contains peanuts, a food pregnant women are discouraged to eat. >> reports say that kate does not have a nut allergy. once that happened, the tabloids and internet went baby wild. then there's this. while at a sate james' palace recession, rumors began to circulate when it was reported kate declined champagne and drank water instead. >> there was definitely a clear liquid. we think it's water. and as well as the peanut incident, speculation has gone wild that a baby is on the way.
6:18 am
well many say not too read too much into this. >> rumors about the royal household are not uncommon. and due to a recent change in the laws, for now over 300 years, a first born princess would be first heir to the throne, even if she had a younger brother. >> speculation is always there. >> bookies are slashing odds for a royal baby announcement in the coming months. some are closing the books altogether. but for now, all eye less stay on kate for an official announcement of the next heir to the thrown, whenever that may be. for "today," kevin bell, nbc news, london. for now, kate's baby buzz, we turn to nbc royal contributor robert johnson. good morning. >> good morning, jenna. >> are we making too big a deal about this? she doesn't even peanut paste,
6:19 am
perhaps she doesn't drink champagne and, boom, we've got her pregnant already. are we making too much about this snm. >> it's six months since they were married. i think everyone is wanting this baby, really, and i think the change in the laws of succession, the fact she's not eating peanut paste, everyone is looking for the signs. i think the big sign will come when they decide to get a bigger property, when there's whispers that that may happen at some stage. >> because they need a bigger space. but you mentioned the laws of succession. that is a pretty big coincidence that this week that comes out and all of a sudden we are hearing rumors of baby talk. no? >> well, one thing is for sure, prince william's main job as heir to the throne is to make sure the line is secure. he's married to the love of his

life. it's going to happen. i think the question is when. i think the queen's diamond jubilee is hugely significant. perhaps after all the celebrations in the summer, then they're maybe away to the scottish hills and babies may be on their minds. >> does it palace say anything about this? >> the royal families tend to do their own announcements, birth, death, marriages, that's what they do. they want to try to keep it to themselves. i think, obviously, that there's a very big year next year. i personally think they'll play their parts in that, traveling on behalf of the queen, and perhaps 2013 we'll be looking for a baby to actually be born with an announcement at the back end of next year. that's my feeling. but, you know, they are a young, inlove couple, and who knows. >> indeed, you are correct.
