announcing "full house" is returning to tv. what he's revealing about the spinoff and who's already on board today. tuesday, april 21st, 2015. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> and good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. boy, it's been some wrenching days in boston. a lot of joy and resilience. now a life or death decision in the courtroom. >> the penalty phase beginning this morning at the boston marathon bombing trial. the same jury that convicted dzhokhar tsarnaev in the attack now has to decide his fate. justice correspondent pete williams is in boston. pete good morning to you. >> matt good morning. the jury must decide between two

options. death by lethal injection or life in prison without the possibility of parole. to choose the death penalty, the verdict must b boston prepares for the trial's second phase with no overwhelming call for capital punishment. the parents of martin richard are pushing for a life sentence with no right of appeal saying now is the time to turn the page end the anguish. a similar call from newlyweds who both lost legs in the bombing. they said quote, we must overcome the impulse for vengeance. heather says it wouldn't fix anything. >> it's not going to affect me and not going to affect my life >> reporter: but karen broussard, permanently injured by shrapnel says tsarnaev does not deserve to live even in prison. >> he was grown enough intelligent enough to make the decision knowing what was going to happen to people.

>> reporter: defense lawyers will argue that he was 19 at the time of the bombings a troubled adolescent dominated by an older brother who radicalized him. they found he had written a message in the boat in watertown where he hid saying his older brother achieved paradise. "boston globe" columnist questions whether jurors should give him that same outcome. >> it would be supremely ironic if a jury here in boston would do what he was not willing or not able to do that night in watertown and that is to make himself a martyr. >> reporter: unlike in a regular trial, there could be no hung jury outcome. if the verdict is not unanimous, the sentence is automatically life in prison. >> when you talk about life in prison a lot of people not clear. explain exactly what he would face if that is what he's sentenced to. >> reporter: well we don't know what prison he would be sentenced to serve his life in.

but it would probably be the super max prison in colorado where a number of other terrorist bombers having sentenced. so the jury has to think about what kind of punishment would it be for a 21-year-old to know he's going to spend the rest of his life in a prison where he's in solitary confinement 23 of every 24 hours. that may weigh on the jury. >> thank you very much. the second boston marathon since the attack was held on monday. an emotional moment caught our eye. 27-year-old rebecca gregory who lost her leg in the bombing crossing the finish line after running the final three-plus miles after testifying at the trial she vowed to do that. before the race gregory posted on facebook this is the day i take my life back. >> i love that's where the focus is this morning as it should be. move down to baltimore where six police officers are on administrative leave this morning as investigators try to figure out how a 25-year-old man suffered a fatal spine injury

while in custody. tom costello is in baltimore for us this morning. what are you hearing from officials? >> reporter: the police commissioner here says freddy gray had no other injuries other than that fatal spinal cord injury. the question this morning, was it the result of an accident or did something criminal occur to cause his fa?

paramedics. >> reporter: police now released surveillance video from nearby cameras but the moment of the injury was not cap monday evening protesters were again on the streets demanding answers. >> we're very very concerned that this is a pattern here in baltimore. >> reporter: in the past four years more than a hundred people have settled with baltimore over police brutality and civil rights violations prompting the mayor to ask the justice department to investigate even . does this city have a problem with police brutality? >> i think this city has had a history of that. i think this country has had a history of tha >> reporter: this morning balt. police say they initiated that chase with gray because he made eye contact with them and then began running. when he caught up with them, he had no drugs, no gun, just a single knife. and he had a minor rap sheet. friends say he was not in any

way a violent individual. one last point. the police commissioner said there was a camera inside the police van but it didn't record anything. it only allows the driver to see what's going on in the back to you. >> a lot of questions. tom costello in boston for us thank you. questions for those with cell phone cameras seems to be boiling over in communities. take a look at this incident caught on video. a los angeles video shows someone snatching the camera from her hands, smashing it to the pavement before kicking it toward her. law enforcement agencies were in the area responding to a call at a local bar where members of a motorcycle gang were said to be meeting. but nbc news has not been able to confirm what the woman was recording or why the officer got so angry. but clearly it's a tense situation on streets in many communities across the country. >> absolutely. meantime if you have blue

it was said the plant in texas was the one containing. blue bell's chief executive and president apologized in a videotaped message on the website. >> we are heartbroken over this situation and apologize to all of our loyal blue bell fans and customers. >> reporter: the cdc estimates about 1600 cases of listeria happen every year in the united states resulting in about 260 deaths. symptoms include headaches, nausea fever, abdomen pain and diarrhea. it can be especially serious in young children the elderly, or anyone with a weakened immune system. meanwhile blue bell is still trying to track down the source of the contamination. >> our entire history has been dedicated to making the very best and highest quality ice cream we possibly could. and we're committed to fixing

>> reporter: so few takeaways. if you're worried how your family might be affected by this recall consumers are urged to return products for a full refund. if you ate anything and are exhibiting symptoms get to the hospital for a full checkup. and make sure to clean any surface in your home that may have come in contact with any potentially contaminated products. and the old adage is if you're worried, throw it out. >> bette safe than sorry. >> thank you very much. let's turn to politics now. hillary clinton is pushing back hard against questions about her family's charitable foundation. this as she campaigns in new hampshire for a second day. andrea mitchell has the latest on that. good morning. >> reporter: hi matt. good morning to you. hillary clinton resigned from the family foundation when she became a candidate for the presidency last week nap has not stopped all those questions about the foundation's fund in new hampshire hillary clinton tried to stick to her

low-profile campaign plans but faced questions about whether she -- to donors for her family foundation and people who hired her husband to speak. >> well we're back into the political season and therefore, we will be subjected to all kinds of distraction and attacks. and i'm ready for that. >> reporter: the upcoming book "clinton cash" by a former bush aide cites two examples. earthquake reconstruction in haiti and the columbia free trade agreement. the clinton campaign says those were obama policies. >> he cherry picked information that's been disclosed and woven a bunch of conspiracy theories about it. >> reporter: before she was confirmed as secretary of state, the white house said the clintons agreed to disclose foreign gifts and bill clinton's paid speeches for review. >> i know there's been a lot of accusations made about this. but not a lot of evidence. >> reporter: republicans are not

letting up. >> they seem to be capitalizing on their service in government. it reminds me of people using the system to enrich themselves and it looks unseemly. >> reporter: bill clinton tries to keep working for the foundation. monday night he was spotted near their washington home in distinctively pink running shoes. and the foundation did last week stop taking money from arab countries that discriminate against women after criticism of that. and the questions do continue. >> andrea thank you very much. now to natalie who's still following that disaster in the mediterranean. >> good morning, everyone. prosecutors now starting to build the case against the traffickers responsible for what might be the mediterranean's worst migrant disaster after a boat carrying hundreds of people capsized this past weekend. richard engel is in italy again with the latest for us. good.

>> reporter: good morning, natalie. a prosecutor said the captain and the first mate of that ship that capsized over the weekend have been arrested. they were found among the very few survivors. they're being charged with multiple counts of reckless homicide. anywhere between 400 and 900 deaths. this is the area of lampedusa. after midnight the boats pull into lampedusa off the coast. this italian ship is loaded with around 90 people from syria and africa rescued from a rubber dinghy just hours earlier. it is the gateway for migrants into europe. every week thousands arrive just like this. rescued in boats, loaded into buses. now taken off to be processed and they hope to start new lives. to get a seat on one of these buses, they take huge risks.

a boat ran aground yesterday in greece crashing in shallow water near the coast. three died 90 rescued. it was one of just four migrant ships in distress at the time. for europe this is a politically charged immigration crisis and a moral dilemma. some argue the rescue mission encourages those to take the journey with the hope they'll be found, saved, and taken in. without patrols, migrants have still been coming and drowning. more than 1500 so far this year. in the wake of all these recent disasters, officials say italy plans to increase patrols. >> richard engel for us thank you. growing tensions in the middle east this morning after a u.s. aircraft carrier was sent to the waters off yemen to block any iranian weapon shipments to rebels. the uss theodore roosevelt is on

and a frightening moment on monday when a fan was hit in the head by a foul ball. the video is tough to watch. it happened between the pirates and the cubs. the ball you'll see goes off the bat straight back there into the net behind the home plate and hits the woman in the head. the net there to protect fans but it does have give. so if you're standing next to it you're not totally protected. the game was delayed 23 minutes while she was taken to the hospital. she was conscious, alert, and talking so some good news. and a much lighter moment at the ballpark monday night. this one in seattle. mariners second baseman hits a foul ball down the line. take a look. the ball girl gives it to that young mariners fan in the front row. but he throws it right back. sometimes fans throw the ball back when the opposing team hits a home run. that wasn't the case here. the girl gave it back to him.

>> number two, fragile online friendships. in the old days you might hear about a sleepover or party you weren't invited to. you don't have to see it in realtime. >> it is in your face. as the parents of somebody who might not be inviting everybody, be mindful. don't post all those pictures. maybe only share them with the select few that were there. talk to your kids on how it feels to be left out. and maybe even coach them on how to talk to their friends why they weren't invited. but not online. in real life. >> always good to have human interaction. and finally, digital drama. i think a lot of people might say things online that they would never say face-to-face. >> we talk about cyber bullying. there is safety behind the screen. but you need to be able to have interactions in real life. we're always looking down. time to look up. time to have that interaction and really engage with one another. >> and assess your child's readiness for social media. many say you have to be 13 and

this morning on "today's take," gina rodriguez is here. the star of "jane the virgin" shows off some hidden talent. and what we've all been waiting for. a "full house" spinoff. have mercy. and we'll catch up with olivia wild. all that and more now. >> announcer: from nbc news this is "today's take" with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning. welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. it's april the 21st, 2015. i'm willie along with natalie and tamron inside of studio 1a.

good to have everybody here. i have to start with al. you brought back one of the greatest things on the earth. it's loveless cafe bacon. if you go to nashville, it's worth the drive. >> i brought a gift pack of a little bacon and biscuit mix. we were there this weekend. did a fund raiser for the middle tennessee girl scouts in nashville. had a great fund raiser meal at the restaurant. met a lot of nice folks. did a fun little reception at the country club there. >> very fancy. >> you know it's going to be a good morning when i walked in the dressing room and i had biscuits and bacon. >> i was tweeted it out like life is good when you walk into work and there's bacon. >> my friend drove us to loveless to pick that up. >> it is so amazing. look at that. apple smoked country bacon. >> and their jams. >> they're amazing.

>> i couldn't bring the jams back on the plane. >> and the waffle mix. >> they ship though. >> and the waffle mix. >> there was a young lady there who kept asking me questions. she said you wouldn't be any chance be on tv, are you? >> that's so sweet. >> they were very sweet. >> i was in boston yesterday on patriots day. marathon day. what a special place to be. >> cool place to be on patriots day. >> i was doing a story kind of unrelated to the marathon for our show about a father and his three daughters. he's a life-long red sox fan. he lives in nebraska. and we kind of surprised him. his daughters were in on it. tricked him to get them to boston. said they won a trip. we got to take him inside fenway park. we blindfolded him, he didn't quite know where he was going. lost his wife to cervical cancer. and raised those three beautiful girls. he got to meet some of the players. it was just a beautiful day and one of those stories that you

kind of feel honored just to be there doing it. brian peterson, great guy. and a funny twist to the story is we get there pick him up at the hotel. surprise him. he's in tears. and he collects himself three, four minutes in. he said willie, this is great but you know what would have been better? if natalie were here. >> oh! >> brian, giving you a big hug, brian. i would have loved to have been there. >> three minutes in, that's what i get. >> well you've got to call him. >> i love you, brian. >> i love the fact he raised three amazing young women who really can take care of their dad. >> and his granddaughter's name is natalie. she said i hope you remember this. >> he's a wonderful guy. he's got a great family and deserved the day. we were so honored with the help of the red sox to give him yesterday. >> a lot of great memories. >> speaking of the marathons

yesterday, this one. rebekah gregory lost her leg at the boston bombing when she was at the finish line waiting for her fiance. she collapsed as she crosses the finish line. she declared this is the day i take my life back. >> so emotional seeing that. >> god bless her. >> yeah. i think she wanted to run the full distance, but her doctor advised her and said the leg's not recovered in time. that's incredible. to be able to do three miles. amazing. >> great story. >> she can do anything she wants. >> she's an incredibly strong woman. >> absolutely. >> the other topic that's caught our eye, this one's quite a talk talker. this is one of these things that i think some people can relate to in some part. >> it's actually spilling into -- >> yeah. it's a hollywood thing on the

surface, but a larger conversation overall regarding fertilization of eggs and parenting. so faux fee ya vergara, we heard about this last week. we were hesitant to do the story because she had not commented on it. it turns out it's true. sophia vergara and her ex-fiance nick loeb have spoken out about a lawsuit of the frozen female embryos they created together in 2013. the couple broke up last year. she's since moved on. she's engaged the joe manganiello. he claims vergara wants to destroy them. which she denies. his statement to nbc news reads in part, i've strongly believed that life begins at fertilization and every embryo is a life on the journey towards birth. i created these two embryos because i dreamed of being a father. sophia vergara's attorney said

she never suggested to have them destroyed. she maintained they be kept frozen. a fact of which loeb and his counsel have always been aware despite loeb's statements to the contrary. loeb says he wants to bring his daughters to term, but he does not want to hold sophia vergara responsible financially or any kind of parental obligations. he wants to raise the girls as his own on his own. >> allow her the opportunity to be involved if she wanted to be. >> but he's saying, this is not about sharing, coparenting. this is not financial. but we were talking about the fact that you know, a lot of people surpursue this route. what we've been told is when you go in and follow procedures like this, you're questioned about the scenarios. plan "a," plan "b," if you stay together if you break up. if someone dies before you decide to go through the process. so it's intriguing from a legal standpoint and also from a

parental standpoint. >> we did ivf with our kids and i don't remember that part of it or dealing with anything of that. >> they just didn't tell you the details. >> that's going to be -- i think this technology becomes more and more widespread, i think we're going to see this. >> it's certainly a tough conversation. because it is -- i mean 50/50. 50% of your genetic material. a father deserves the right to be a parent as much as the mother does. in this case it's -- you know it's a tough call. >> sophia vergara's attorney says there's a written agreement that consent has to be mutual. and she's not consenting to it. if that's true, i don't think he's going to have much of a case. >> and also moving forward if this perhaps happens more, should people have these legal contracts like ironed out like a

prenup? and even prenups can be challenging, but at least you have something on paper where it's clear what's happening. >> yeah. it certainly is a tough one. the lawyers will have to battle that one out for sure. >> how about this news? >> this is big news we woke up to. a major transition here. some happy news to talk about if you're a fan of "full house." get ready. john stamos aka uncle jesse broke the news on jimmy kimmel last night there will be a reunion on netflix. take a listen. >> we were trying to do some sort of spinoff and we wanted to give credit to the legacy. we didn't want to throw it away. so netflix came around and said let's do 13 episodes. it starts sort of as a reunion and then spins off into this, like a spinoff. it's a labor of love we've literally been trying for so many years to do it right. i think we finally got it

perfect. >> perfect. we can't wait. >> full disclosure, i've never seen "full house". >> not even on tv land? >> my kids watched it. >> i've never seen it either. i got to back al. >> you're younger than we are. >> but it's been on the reruns. but i watched the first and second season. by the time were 30 on the show. but they were incredible little actresses. if the twins come back, i'm in. >> i guess john stamos says they're in talks with everybody. >> dave coulier also. >> and those who are definitely coming back, as of now they have d.j., stephanie tanner, kimmy gibler. "fuller house" will be the name of the show. it's going to be a 13-episode

spinoff on netflix. >> we saw a video full of spiders. you'll love this. >> no. >> man trying to kill a large spider in australia. surprise when he squishes it. check it out. >> warning, warning, warning. >> check it out. >> i think i'll just squich this. >> babies coming out of it. >> plenty of spiders. >> oh! >> that's what happens. right? >> no, that doesn't happen all the time. >> it's a spider pinata. >> last night we were watching -- any kids love to watch nat geo and they had the weirdest frogs in the world. she births the toad out of the back. i was watching it. i look up and i see these things popping out of its back. i nearly lost my dinner.

>> i saw that same nat geo five years ago. i can't eat pecan pancakes anymore. >> why? >> because they look like it. >> she's mentally scarred by it. it's awful. >> so it's a frog, okay? and it has pores in its back. it's round and flat back like a pancake. >> i tried to pull it up on youtube. >> the babies live in the mom's back. >> where do pecan pancakes come in? >> it looks like that. >> you whack a pecan pancake and frogs jump out. >> there we go. >> i don't think we can show it. >> you want other people to see gross things or something's nasty, it's like taste this it's awful. >> my gosh. wow. frogs popping out of backs. baby spiders out of big spiders.

it represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes. my father used to tell me to say every morning today is going to be a great day, i can and i will. dad, today is a great day. i can and i did. >> yes she did. and that award was for her role on "jane the virgin" about a girl who becomes accidentally artificially inseminated. we have thrilled to have the beautiful gina rodriguez with us. >> good morning. i didn't know we were going to play that. i haven't seen it since. >> you haven't? >> you get emotional. >> i know. the makeup artist is going to kill me. that's awesome. >> have you been able to wrap you head around it? you're now in a movie with mark wahlberg. >> it's awesome. i feel so blessed. i haven't really been able to sit down with it as much as i think i want to. i think it takes time to -- i appreciate it more than anything in the entire world but it's hard for me to even explain that

feeling. like, there's just no words that kind of can encompass the feeling. every day. >> i love that description of it. >> i don't have words for that. >> it's been that kind of year for you. talk to me about it. i know you a little bit on the set, we'll see next week. but "jane the virgin" what a powerful role for you. why did you love this character so much? >> for any woman it is seldom we come across a role that are strong and empowering and fearless and brave. not because these women don't exist, but because there's so many stories. and only so many we can tell. so for me to come across playing an amazingly strong, independent brave woman. but to be able to play a latina and expose a culture that hasn't been shown in this light which is just kind of like, it's so

intermixed. there's no -- you know like this is latino. that's an inside pride we carry for any of our cultures we all have. i like that. i think jenny wrote for a woman and did a good job. i'm glad that woman is me. >> you talked about your dad in the speech. and he instilled this you say something positive every day about yourself. >> yeah. you know the little -- that youtube video with the little girl that says i'm special, i'm cool. like, i definitely had a dad that either told us or had us say this about ourselves or about our siblings. there's my two sisters. they're awesome. and my dad. but he definitely -- the power of positivity. the power of words and the power of the belief in yourself. i mean to me there's nothing more i want to give away because i think god owns it and i want overs to as well. >> she's going to stick around and show off her dancing moves
