stalker recorded at a hotel. abc's eva pilgrim has the very latest for us from nashville this morning. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, amy. after almost two weeks of an emotional trial, centered around that naked video of erin andrews, it took the jury about six hours to make a decision. and one juror telling abc news, they wanted this verdict to send a message. >> 55 million, correct? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: erin andrews overcome with emotion as the judge read the verdict. the jury deciding the nashville mar vot shares the blame for that secretly recorded video seen by more than 17 million people. erin andrews later tweeting this statement. i've been honored by all the support from victims around the world. their outreach has helped me be able to stand up and hold accountable those whose job it is to protect everyone's safety. >> it's ongoing and it's going to be ongoing for the rest of her life. >> reporter: andrews claimed the hotel made it easy for her stalker, michael barrett to get

through a peephole he altered shoot video of her getting out of the shower. the hotel claims he was a criminal who tricked them into gaining access and one juror saying the only debate for the group was how much to pay her. the $55 million payout will be split almost in half with barrett taking 51% of the fault. the hotel's management company and owner, 49%. >> an amount that high sends a pretty strong message. >> the hotel industry we just felt like they need to get the message that this is somebody's privacy. it's their personal life and you got to take that seriously. >> reporter: the hotel's lawyers disappointed with the outcome saying they hope to eventually talk to the jurors before deciding if they will appeal. >> keep in mind this had never happened before and hadn't happened since. there are all kinds of measures that were undertaken after this was discovered, what mr. barrett had done. >> reporter: the hotel's lawyer says the nashville marriott has

make sure this never happens again, amy. >> eva pilgrim, thanks so much. joining us now abc news chief legal analyst, dan abrams. six hours. were you surprised by such a quick and large verdict. >> i was stunned by the speed. this was a long jury trucks with a lot of complicated legal questions. but let's be clear. this was a huge win for erin andrews. not just in terms of the number, but in terms of the way the verdict came down. meaning the concern for erin andrews was too much of this verdict will be for barrett, the guy who actually filmed it. why is that a problem? he's got no money so the real question was how much is going to be allocated to marriott so by doing this verdict at 51% responsibility for barrett, he was clearly the guy who actually did it, but then a whole 49% for marriott, that's about as good a verdict as she could get in terms of the split. not only do you have this big $55 million verdict but this $26 million verdict against marriott

for erin andrews. >> do you think that the amount will hold, though, under appeal. >> the first question is going to be for the judge. the judge is going to review this verdict first and if the judge thinks that it's excessive, the judge could actually be involved in reducing it first of all even before an appeal but i think that there's very likely this verdict will stand largely even if it's reduced a bit. >> all right, dan abrams, we appreciate it. thanks so much. and now to that bombshell announcement rocking the tennis world, maria sharapova, one of the sport's biggest stars calling a press conference admitting she failed a drug test. abc's ryan smith is here with the latest on that. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: so many thought she was going to announce her retirement but maria sharapova stunned the world with that shocking announcement saying she takes full responsibility for the failed test and that a rule change tripped her up. this morning, maria sharapova, the world's highest paid female athlete and tennis star coming clean. admitting to a failed drug test at this year's australian open.

i would imagine something like that could have an impact but we have a lot of loyal people. >> nobody would call michael bloomberg a failure. here's what he said. he's not getting in because he's worried it might help you and said "trump has run the most divisive and demagogic campaign i've seen preying on people's prejudices and fears. trump appeals to our worst impulses" from someone who's been pretty friendly to you and says he won't get in to help make sure you don't win. >> well, look, you know, i mean i used to be a friend of his when he had a problem with ferry point a failed project in new york he called on me to solve it and i did. i made it successful and was under construction for 0 years and no one knew what to do. he used to be a friend of mine. i guess he disagrees with what i'm saying but i lot agree. we have to be vigilant, smart,

strengthen our borders. we have to get rid of obamacare and replace it with something good, george and, you know, i mean the polls i'm looking at, i don't know about the ones you have but the ones i'm looking at, i'm way up in michigan and way up in mississippi which are going today and i'm doing well in idaho. i love their potatoes and i doing well in idaho and doing well in hawaii, so i just don't know what to tell you. >> meantime the number of prominent people comparing you to adolf hitler is growing by the day. you saw over louis c.k. and glenn beck called you a dangerous man and yesterday the mexican president said you're using the same language that ushered in hitler and mussolini. i can't remember that kind of comparison being used against any other presidential candidate. does it suggest to you should tone down your rhetoric and tactics? >> well, maybe so but i mean, look, i have a tremendous following. we want to make america great again. it's a strong following. i don't know about the hitler

i hadn't heard that but it's a terrible comparison. i'm not happy about that certainly. i don't want that comparison but, you know, we have to be strong and we have to be vigilant and people agree with that and we don't want to lose our jobs to china and we don't want to lose our jobs to mexico and japan and all these countries taking our jobs away from us like we're children. we don't know what we're doing. we have leaders that don't know what they're doing. we're losing so much in this country and we're losing -- we're losing the spirit and we just can't do it so i have to be -- i have to be strong and, again, i have a group of -- i have a tremendous following. you know, the republican, the biggest story in politics is how many people are going to the primaries on the republican side, it's a record number. they're up 55%, 60%. some are up as much as 100%. and that hasn't happened ever. they say it's never happened. and the democrats are down 350%% so something positive is happening? we'll wait to see what happens tonight, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. >> all right, thank you, george.

wait to see who else is here. you'll really be surprised. >> this is some cast coming up in just a little bit. right now we have to go to amy with the morning rundown. we begin with breaking news overnight. a commuter train derailing in northern california. that train heading from san jose to stockton struck a tree that had fallen onto the tracks. one car plunging sideways into a rain-swollen creek. emergency workers broke windows racing to make sure the 214 passengers on board were safe. nine were taken to the hospital. four suffered serious injuries. several train cars remain unstable and are now being removed. also breaking overnight, a reported tornado west of ft. worth, texas, at least a dozen homes have been destroyed, but no reports of any serious injuries. that region is bracing for more severe weather and flooding rains. rob's forecast is coming up in just a bit. well, the pentagon says u.s. air strikes in somalia have killed more than 150 members of the al shabaab terror group linked to al qaeda who are

preparations for a large attack. american troops in somalia were believed to be among the group's targets just last month, al shabaab detonated a bob inside a laptop inside a commercial plane over somalia. turning to the presidential race, another round of voting kicks off with primaries or caucuses in four states from michigan to hawaii. an abc news poll out this morning uncovered potential trouble for donald trump. the latest figures showing him winning easily in a three or four-man race but in a hypothetical two-man race he would trail both ted cruz and marco rubio. meanwhile, as trump gets slammed with a wave of new attack ads michael bloomberg ruling out that run saying he doesn't want his candidacy to help trump or cruz to win the race. well, new video from a near tragic plane crash in new york. look at that. the pilot deployed a parachute to soften the impact after losing engine power at 2,000 feet landing in this industrial park.

ten feet. he and his daughter walked away unharmed. shocking videotape from near chicago a suspected drunk driver was pulled over for driving with this 15-foot tree stuck in the grill of his car. her car. police say she admitted hitting the tree, but wasn't sure where that crash happened. and a favorite breakfast sandwich is now off the menu at hundreds of starbucks restaurants because of possible listeria contamination. the fda is recalling the sausage, egg and cheese sandwich sold at starbucks in texas, arkansas and oklahoma. no illnesses have been reported. and now to another big headline this morning. a major medical breakthrough that may offer some hope to women who have been struggling to get pregnant. doctors from the cleveland clinic performed the first uterine transplant in the united states and abc's linsey davis has that story. >> reporter: on monday, the cleveland clinic described how a team of 70 top experts completed the first ever uterus transplant

new hope to women unable to carry a child. >> these women are born with normal ovaries that produce healthy eggs. the problem is that there is nowhere for these eggs to go. >> reporter: the patient is 26-year-old lindsey. she was the first of ten scheduled to undergo this. >> i was 16 and was told i would never have children and here we are today at the beginning of that journey. >> reporter: here's how it works. a woman born without a uterus or nonfunctioning uterus gets a healthy uterus from a deceased donor implanted. after a year fertilized eggs are transferred one by one until the woman becomes pregnant. as for lindsey she still has a year of anti-rejeekz medication ahead of her before finding out if she can get pregnant. her doctors remain confident but she says she has more than just them to thank. >> i would like to take a moment to express the immense gratitude i feel towards my donor's family.

gift that i will never be able to repay and i am beyond thankful for them. >> reporter: for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news, new york. [ applause ] >> the story bringing tears to abc news chief women's health correspondent, dr. jennifer ashton and dr. ashton, this is a surgery for women born without a uterus, something most of us haven't heard of but something that isn't that rare. >> we usually talk go a transplant as saving a life. in this case it's about potentially giving one. we're talking here about a syndrome called mrkh syndrome and this is really a nail our of development of the genital organs in a woman that affects 1 in 5,000 female births. they are born without a uterus and some cases without a lower genital tract but do have functioning ovaries but can be biological parents but cannot carry. >> they have to survive for a year taking immunotherapy and

different ivf from a regular woman than one who had a transplant 13 a couple big differences. when she undergoes ivf she will only be getting one embryo, no twins, she will undergo a planned scheduled elective cesarean section. this is'a uterus we're going to test in labor and of course she will have to take strong anti-rejection medication. there is date father on moms and babies born to transplant patients and they do pretty well but that's not an insignificant hurdle. >> had has happened in sweden. doctors have already successfully transplanted a uterus there. but surrogacy isn't legal in that country and our country given the fact that a woman can use her eggs and transplant them in another woman, what do you have to say to people who question this practice because we have that option? >> right, and the opponents here or the critics will say, no question, uterine surrogacy is cheaper, easier and safer, but it really speaks to the powerful

drive that women have to carry their own children. it's not the only path to parenthood but have to remember the context, 1967 the world's first heart transplant, almost 50 years later this is a historic event in women's health. >> you just gave me chills. all right, dr. ashton, thanks so much. jenn will take your questions throughout the morning. tweet her @drjashton as i search for the cam are and go to "gma's" facebook page as well. let's head upstairs to lara and michael. >> thank you very much. am, here's what's coming up on our "gma morning menu." the moment we've been waiting for, our huge "dancing with the stars" party is about to begin. and in just a moment we'll revealing the entire cast but we've already told you two of the celebrities. let me show you, ginger zee and jodie sweetin. >> more to come. all here live in your studio and another clue for you, one of them, listen up, is a super bowl mvp.
