a brawl at a house party. it was like an episode of jerry springer. her kids throwing punches. what sparked this rumble in the tundra. and good morning, america. happy friday, robin on assignment this morning. >> so nice to have this guy, rob march see ya know is with us. the new guy. >> great to be here. >> our chief meteorologist, ginger, taking a long weekend. what's your title? >> senor. >> a well-deserved time off for her. >> welcome. >> nice to be here. lots of weather to talk about, and fun stuff too. >> welcome aboard, rob. and oscar pistorius, the former olympian convicted of culpable homicide.

and we are in the courtroom, matt, this verdict has shocked so many. >> reporter: absolutely, george. when oscar pistorius walked into the courtroom yesterday, he faced life in prison. if the conviction for manslaughter, it's possible he may never have to spend a single night in prison for killing his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp, and this headline may say all. oscar's great escape. >> mr. pistorius, please stand up. >> reporter: judgment day for oscar pistorius, on the count of murder -- >> not guilty and is discharged. instead he is found guilty of culpable homicide. >> reporter: after a contentious trial punctuated by recriminations. >> you killed reeva. say yes, i shot and killed reeva steenkamp. >> reporter: oscar pistorius was found guilty of manslaughter for firing into the bathroom knowing

someone was inside. but the judge threw out other gun-related charges. >> the accused is found not guilty. >> reporter: and convicted him of one gun-related charge. >> found guilty. >> >> reporter: the prosecution might appeal. the olympian breaking down in court on thursday, but this morning, showing little emotion, only staring stone-faced in his seat. today, it was the family of the woman he killed shaking their heads. and the criticism came from many, including the woman he dated before her. sam taylor, his girlfriend of two years. when you first heard she was killed, what went through your mind? >> i definitely thought it could have been me. >> reporter: now sentencing could be weeks away, and the judge has enormous discretion. but during the lunch break, oscar pistorius was led down into a holding cell, kept there

for an hour. that may be the most time he spends behind bars after the conviction. >> we want to ask dan abrams about that. we watched the evidence, watched the trial. i'm one of those people, like you, who is shocked by this. >> it's not just that the verdict itself is stunning. the not guilty on the murder charge, it's the reasoning that the judge used. it appears that this judge believes it was all a mistake. believes that oscar pistorius thought that reeva was still in bed. that's right. and as a result, that this all was a horrible, horrible mistake. that, to me, when you look at the facts of this case, is the most significant thing that this judge found, and that led to the ruling. >> basically threw out the testimony from witnesses who heard fights and screaming. >> that's right. and says she believes it was oscar pistorius who was the one screaming. when we first heard that, it seemed absurd. the notion that witnesses heard

a woman screaming and heard two people screaming, some heard a man and a woman, and instead the judge is saying i believe that the defense that oscar pistorius may have had a high-pitched voice, and it was just him scream. because remember, if there was a fight, there was no way to avoid a murder charge here. >> just learning from the courtroom, bail has been granted. he is free, sentencing in october. it's possible to within the judge's direction, no jail time. >> before this reasoning, i thought there was no way he would walk. and acquitted on an ammunition charge, it was found in his home and he did not have the license to have it. the court saying there was no intent. it makes me wonder, is it possible? very unlikely, no jail time. >> unlike here, the prosecutors there can appeal. >> on matters of law. i would not be surprised if these prosecutors appeal on one

crucial mistake that many believe the judge made about whether he had to have the intent to kill her behind that door opposed to anyone behind that door. >> okay, thanks very much. all right, george, move now to the ray rice scandal. the baltimore ravens taking the field for the first time since the video from the elevator surfaced. this as questions are raised what the nfl commissioner knew and when. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: roger goodell under fire once again, claiming that ray rice personally gave details months before the video's release. and an investigation looming, new claims of insensitivity being levelled at the league, the potential fallout, enormous. overnight, more fallout from the scandal as the ravens took the field without rice, cbs sports pulling an opening sequence featuring rihanna, herself a

victim of abuse at the hands of chris brown. critics saying the nfl should have made the connection sooner. another level of the league's insensitivity to violence. some fans were wearing ray rice's jersey facing backlash from other fans. after the game -- >> care about the rice family. a tough family situation. our guys handled it well. >> reporter: our sister network espn, according to multiple sources, ray rice said he punched his wife in the elevator in atlantic city, well before the incident went public. seemingly contradicting this statement earlier this week. >> when we met with him and his representatives, it was ambiguous. >> what was ambiguous about her laying on the floor, being

dragged out by her feet. >> there was nothing ambiguous. that's what we saw. >> reporter: one source saying ray didn't lie to the commissioner. another source saying that rice told goodell he slapped his fiance. no one is reporting on the espn report. we know that former fbi director robert muller's independent investigation is set to begin immediately with a report to be shared with the public. a report that could determine the commissioner's fate. and calls for change in the nfl now coming from washington. yesterday, 16 of 20 women senators penning a letter to goodell, demanding a zero tolerance policy. if you violently assault a woman, you shouldn't get a second chance to play football in the nfl, george, lara. >> thank you. and so much conversation on social media about the commissioner right now. do you think that nfl commissioner roger goodell should step down?

woods around the prison. then at 1:20 a.m. -- >> which inmate? >> i believe the young one. t.j. lane. he's in custody. >> reporter: authorities located lane, apparently armed with a pitch fork just 100 yards away from the prison. and hours later, they caught the other. lane's escape just another painful reminder to the community in ohio to the school shooting two years ago. >> 911, where's your emergency. >> a shooting at the school, we need to get out of here. >> reporter: it follows last year's court appearances, marked by erratic behavior and the chilling lack of remorse. lane at times shouting obscenities at the victim's family. even wearing a white t-shirt with killer written across the front. >> when this happened, it opened up the wound for everyone. put me right back in the courtroom, thinking about the case again. no one thought we would be talking about this again.

>> reporter: and we spoke with one of the victim's fathers overnight as this was happening, he was in complete disbelief and questioning what kind of system authorities are running here. officials say they're trying to figure out what went wrong. >> bet they are. and the rest of the stop stories from amy. >> thank you very much. and new concern about the growing threat posed by i.s.i.s. the cia says it could be three times bigger than thought, up to 31,000 fighters across iraq and syria. intelligence officials believe i.s.i.s. has fighters from more than 80 countries. and australia became the second u.s. alley to raise the threat level, from medium to high, joining the british who's threat level is severe. and the spying program, showing that the government threatened to fine yahoo $250,000 per day if it refused

class. what a surprise, it was the president and the first lady stopping by. one lady not to impressed. she was hoping to see someone else, and made it clear to the president when he walked in. take a listen. >> i really wanted it to be beyoncé. >> i understand. malia and sasha would feel the same way. >> i realized it was going to be you, that's even better. >> oh, she made up for it in the end. but the president thanked her for saying that in front of the press. but here's the best part, mrs. obama agreed, she would like to see beyoncé too. he got piled on there. >> she should be in politics. wrapped it up. >> made it all okay. thank you so much. and now a bomb scare aboard a jet liner in seattle. it happened thursday on nechb.

bomb threats in the digital age, assigned a name to a hot spot which threatened to bomb the southwest flight. >> he changed it to the bomb is on this seat, his seat, and then the stewardest was hot. it was probably he was just goofing off. >> reporter: the passengers able to reboard for the flight to denver. southwest told abc news in the statement that the captain made the call, and that southwest's highest priority is the safety and security of passengers and employees. some of those passengers who were inconvenienced telling us they hope that this man is prosecuted. lara and george. >> thank you. turn to sarah palin now, reports of a bloody brawl involving the former vice presidential candidate and her family at a house party in anchorage. paula faris has what we know. >> reporter: this morning, sarah
