[ cheers and applause ]
7:06 am
that hawaii votes today, as well. now, donald trump was asking for votes there like only donald trump can putting out this tweet on twitter saying i employ many people in hawaii at my congratulate hotel in honolulu. i will be there very soon. vote for me, hawaii. when he's going there, it's unclear. back to you. >> he loves idaho potatoes and we'll talk to him in a moment. to another big headline. the major verdict in the erin andrews trial. the sportscaster leaving the courtroom with a huge win. a jury awarding her $55 million over the secret nude video a 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.
7:07 am
>> 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 a room next door to hers and 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
7:08 am
>> 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 installed peephole covers to 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,
7:09 am
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 so all in all a really big win 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.
7:10 am

7:11 am
she received an e-mail about banned substances but -- >> i did not look at that list. >> reporter: the 28-year-old one of tennis' best willing wimbledon at 17, number one in the world by 18, five grand slam titles in her career. recently beset by injuries, sidelined since that australian open. but off the court, a sponsor's dream. the fashion icon and businesswoman making a whopping 30 million pitching products for the likes of nike, avon, tiffany's and porsche hauling in more money than world number one serena williams, the news wok rocking the tennis news. jennifer capriati lashing out saying i didn't have the high priced team for me to cheep and martina navratilova says i hope this gets cleared up as it seems to be an honest mistake. now she's waiting for the next steps making one thing clear.
7:12 am
consequences and i don't want to end my career this way. and i really hope that i will given another chance to play this game. >> reporter: sharapova's lawyer telling us while players can be suspended as long as four years for a failed test, players found to unintentionally fail them can get as little as no penalty. she will be provisionally suspended sunday and already nike and tag heuer cutting ties with the star. >> while the investigation continues. >> it is refreshing to have someone openly admit that. >> take that responsibility. back to the white house race. now four contest, donald trump the front-runner in all of them. he joins us now, mr. trump, thank you for joining us again this morning. you are the front-runner in the four states today but you're taking a lot of hit, as well. we showed them sons of money coming in against you and our poll shows you falling off your peak, both ted cruz and marco rubio beating you in head-to-head matchups. are you worried this is drawing blood?
7:13 am
well and leading in michigan and we're leading in mississippi and nationally we're leading as i think you see the cnn poll had us at 49% to 15%. but certainly they're spending tens of millions on fighting me, the establishment and, you know, they would rather not see me in there. you had failed people mitt romney talking, one of the worst campaigns i've ever witnessed in my life and he's out there now speaking negatively as negatively as he can. you know, where was that energy when he was fighting obama? he disappeared he was a terrible candidate so i guess, you know, 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
7:14 am
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 military and 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
7:15 am
>> meantime the number of prominent people comparing you to adolf hitler is growing by the day. you saw over the weekend 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 comparison. 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

7:33 am

7:34 am
the mentality walking, maybe i run into somebody or a light pole, rude and mabry kick louse but increasingly we're getting more evidence that it's actually dangerous, even deadly. we know the dangers of texting while driving, this morning, a new warning. a study finds the number of pedestrians killed in traffic accidents last year increased 10% from the year before and from 009 to 2014 a nearly 20% increate. one possible reason for the spike, more people walking while distracted on their cell phones. something we've all likely done at some point. like this guy, he barely flips as a car turns inches in front of him and a bear on the loose and this man, almost walked right into him. >> very, very terrifying. >> reporter: who can forget michael scott texted himself right into that koi pond and hit
7:35 am

7:36 am
and something to these numbers. they're trying to figure it out. >> when you look at the streets even if someone isn't looking at their phone it's in their hands and the possibility is right there. >> so many think i can do better. i know how to multitask. >> what did we do before we had them? it's like an appendage. >> we observed and lives our lives. >> we all can do better. we will do better. coming up here, o.j. simpson trial back in the headlines with that new miniseries. we'll hear from one of the jurors calling the show a total work of fiction. also coming up a major medical breakthrough. the first woman ever to get a uterus transplant in the u.s. now speaking out and how this

7:42 am
>> oh, yeah. what we were given, do i think he did it, yeah, there's a shot he did do it but then on the other hand, the evidence didn't prove it. >> reporter: is there one thing that would have changed the verdict? >> if they had the weapon with his handprints on it, something that just can't be disputed. >> reporter: as for the miniseries bringing the trial back to life, he says it's made for television. >> my first impression was, did this stuff really happen? did some of this happen? did this go on? the bickering, the behind-the-scenes part, you know, where there's marcia clark behind here doing this, that and the other. >> reporter: just last week when many thought was a new lead in the two decades old case sparking a frenzy of interest. >> the actual item is described as a knife. >> reporter: but sources telling us that just like all the other tips over the years, it wasn't

8:06 am
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. they have provided me with a 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.

8:08 am
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 biologic, emotional, psych logic 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.
