Aired May 10, 2006 - 07:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

MILES O'BRIEN, CNN HOST: A potentially dangerous White House mistake leads to the president's confidential travel plans ending up in public view.
Something stinks at the U.S.-Canada border. It may look like just tons of trash to you and me but it could be hiding something far more sinister. Could there be weapons of mass destruction there?

SOLEDAD O'BRIEN, CNN HOST: And remember this guy we were talking about him all week? He finally made it. More on the pretty incredible journey of the self proclaimed fat man walking. We've got his story just ahead on AMERICAN MORNING. And good morning. Welcome everybody. I'm Soledad O'Brien.

M. O'BRIEN: And I'm Miles O'Brien. We start this hour with a round of severe weather that is striking the southern part of the U.S.

In Texas overnight, twisters tearing through two towns north of Dallas, leaving at least three dead. It happened in Cullen County late last night. Six other people were injured during those storms.

Dan Ronan of our CNN affiliate WFAA reports from Westminster. That's about 50 miles north of Dallas.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DAN RONAN, WFAA-TV CORRESPONDENT: In Westminster, Texas, authorities are saying that three people are dead and as many as seven others may be injured after one and possibly two tornadoes hopscotched through this community some 50 miles northeast of Dallas. This all started about 10:30 last night. Tornado warnings had been issued and sirens began to go off and about 2:00 this morning authorities discovered that two people, an elderly couple believed to be in their 70s and a teenaged boy, 14, was the other, third victim there.

Authorities now waiting for first light so they can begin to go in and assess the damage and figure out just how many homes were demolished with this killer storm. In Westminster, Texas, Dan Ronan, for CNN.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

S. O'BRIEN: To Florida, now. A state of emergency there this morning because of wildfires. About 25,000 acres already scorched by the flames. Here's the latest. One hundred three fires burning right now. So far, only fortunately a few homes destroyed. The smoke from the fires is being blamed, though, for the deaths of four people who were all killed in car accidents.

The fire stretched from the west coast to the east coast of the state from near Tampa across to Daytona Beach, south to Fort Myers and Miami, too. Fifty of those fires are being closely watched by firefighters right now. And when you add to that all the heavy smoke, it is really making traffic a nightmare. Twelve-mile stretch of Interstate 95 remains closed this morning in Volusia County and also east central Florida. The heavily traveled highway expected to stay closed until at least 9:00 Eastern Time this morning.

For the latest on all these stories, let's get right to CNN Weather Center and Chad Myers. Hey Chad. Good morning.

CHAD MYERS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Good morning, Soledad. You want to talk about the storms doing an end run end around on that area? A lot of Florida got an inch or two yesterday of rain yesterday and that area up there with the fires really did get nothing, nothing at all. We're going to back you up last night. 10:30 local time. There's Dallas, Texas. Yeah a couple little there. That one right there was rotating and was rotating so quickly, it was actually a tornado on the ground, a large tornado on the ground. Fifteen miles northwest of McKinney, right there in the backside of the storm. On the backside of the hook of the right storm there. Hail coming down, north of it. The storm right on the ground. The tornado on the ground for many minutes there and we'll get to some more pictures as the daylight comes up. I'm sure it looks worse than probably it did last night.

Seventy in St. Louis today, 81 in Dallas, 91 in Houston. So a warm day across a lot of the country with 73 in Atlanta and 66 in Washington, DC. Take you to one more map here. Take you to what's going on now. All of the yellow boxes, now, severe thunderstorm watches. Which means storms are possible that could contain hail and very gusty winds over 60, 70 miles per hour but everywhere you see these orange counties, those are all severe thunderstorm warnings. Storms are occurring in those counties now. So a we move you ahead, we'll zoom you into a couple storms, Birmingham, you're about to get one. I'd say that's an hour away or maybe less. Back up to Nashville, a couple of storms just on southwestern quadrant and then all the way down the freeway down I-30 there into Dallas. Some big storms headed into Arkansas, again today. More weather coming up this afternoon. More and on severe weather. Only seven tornadoes yesterday. I say that tongue and cheek. There will be more than that today. Miles?

M. O'BRIEN: Thank you, Chad.

Closing arguments to begin in just a matter of hours in the murder trial of a priest accused of choking and stabbing a nun to death 26 years ago. Keith Oppenheim is live at the courthouse in Toledo with more. Hello, Keith.

KEITH OPPENHEIM, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Miles. And this afternoon, when jury deliberations begin, a jury of seven women and five men will try to determine if a Roman Catholic priest should go free or spend his life in prison.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

OPPENHEIM (voice-over): During the nearly three weeks of testimony, Father Gerald Robinson sat silently at the defense table as the prosecution portrayed him as a murder.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Is that a fair and accurate representation?

OPPENHEIM: Prosecutors placed a mannequin on the floor to represent the 26-year-old crime scene. On April 5th, 1980, Sister Margaret Ann Paul was found dead in the chapel at Toledo's Mercy Hospital. She had been strangled and stabbed multiple times.

DEAN MANDROS, LEAD PROSECUTING ATTORNEY: He stabbed her over the heart nine times. Nine piercings of her flesh. In the shape of an upside down cross.

OPPENHEIM: At the time, Father Robinson was questioned but not charged. Not until 2004 when cold case investigators took another look at the evidence. Prosecutors claimed this was a ritual killing. Committed by someone with inside knowledge.

REV. JEFFREY GROB, ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO: It is a mockery. The inverted cross on the person is a mockery to God.

OPPENHEIM: The state presented two nuns that said they saw the priest near the chapel at the time that the crime took place.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Father Robinson.

OPPENHEIM: Prosecutors say that dagger-shaped letter opener was the murder weapon and that it belonged to Father Robinson. Dr. Henry Lee, a forensics expert, well-known from the O.J. Simpson trial said blood stains on an altar cloth resembled the pattern of the alleged weapon.

DR. HENRY LEE, FORENSICS EXPERT: I cannot come here to tell you this pattern is produced exactly by this. I only can say similar to.

OPPENHEIM: What prosecutors lacked in this case was any DNA evidence directly linking the priest to the victim. Father Robinson says he is not guilty and defense attorneys have tried to cast doubt on the prosecution's evidence. Here, a police officer suggests Sister Paul upset with someone but he couldn't say for sure that it was Father Robinson.

ALAN KONOP, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: She was upset they had shortened the Friday services. You don't know who that person is, do you?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I have got a good idea who they are.

KONOP: Do you know specifically who that person is?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No.

KONOP: Did she tell you who that person was?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No.

KONOP: Never!

OPPENHEIM: David Yonke, a local reporter writing a book on this case, says it's hard to predict what the jurors might do.

DAVID YONKE, REPORTER, "TOLEDO BLADE": They could feel like they believe the priest did it but that they just weren't, you know, 99.9 percent sure and didn't want to send this 68-year-old priest to prison for the rest of his life.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

OPPENHEIM (on camera): In a close case, closing arguments today could be critical. And if Father Robinson is convicted, he could be sentenced immediately a mandatory life sentence. Miles?

M. O'BRIEN: Keith, tell us why now 26 years later that suddenly investigators took another look at this case and brought it to trial.

OPPENHEIM: It was kind of a weird turn of events a couple of years ago. There was a different case with different accusations against Father Robinson which were never substantiated but it was just enough for detectives who work for the Lucas County prosecutor's office to say, hey, do you remember that priest from way back when who was involved or implicated in the murder of a nun? So they took another look at it and what that found, the break through was a match between a blood stain at the crime scene and the dagger-shaped letter opener and when they saw what they believed was a match there, that is when they really started to move forward with their investigation.

M. O'BRIEN: Keith Oppenheim in Toledo, thank you very much. Soledad?

S. O'BRIEN: President Bush wraps up a swing through Florida today, talking to seniors about Medicare and in what maybe an embarrassing side note, appears every detail of the president's Florida trip has turned up in a pile of trash. According to a report from affiliate WUSA, a sanitation worker discovered the documents.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I saw locations and names and places where the president's supposed to be. On this day. And, I knew it was kind of important. It shouldn't have been in the trash whole like this.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

S. O'BRIEN: Kind of important. Shouldn't have been in the trash. Let's get right to White House correspondent Elaine Quijano. Hey, Elaine, good morning to you. What kind of information do you usually get, for example, or any member of the media gets before the president leaves on a trip? ELAINE QUIJANO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, good morning to you, Soledad. Of course, the White House puts out a public schedule for each day as you know. And that typically lists what public events the president has, if he's leaving the White House, what time that's scheduled for and also whether or not there's a briefing scheduled for that day. We in the media do get some additional details but it is made crystal clear at that time that those details are not for broadcast and they're not for publication and we should mention, Soledad, it really does not approach anywhere near the level of detail in those documents that you mentioned. If that story turns out to be true, and that is a big if, CNN has not viewed those documents, it would seem to represent a major breech.

Of coursed details of presidential travel are kept very, very close to the vest for obvious reasons, and there's a lot we just don't know about this story yet but we're working to get the answers. Soledad?

S. O'BRIEN: Let's talk about what the president is doing today. Obviously Medicare's on his mind. What's he doing?

QUIJANO: He's going to be speaking at about 9:30, a conversation about the Medicare prescription drug benefit in Orlando. It will be at a Puerto Rican social club and of course this is part of the president's effort to get the message out, that deadline, May 15th fast approaching. So the president continuing to try to sell the plan and let the American people know, as well; that in fact, seniors, he says, are signing up. Soledad?

S. O'BRIEN: Elaine Quijano is at the White House for us this morning. Elaine, thanks.

Republicans in Congress reached agreement on tax cuts. The House is set to vote later today. The bill expected to keep more middle income families from being hit by a tax that's aimed at the wealthy. So, how's it going to affect us? Andy's minding your business this morning. That's coming up in 15 minutes. Miles?

M. O'BRIEN: In St. Louis this morning, people shocked and appalled. An a eight-year-old girl could be sexually assaulted on a playground during recess. A group of boys some of them as young as six years old suspended from school. They're accused in the attack. CNN's Jonathan Freed live outside the school in St. Louis. And Jonathan, a lot of people hearing about this story would wonder where were the teachers?

JONATHAN FREED, CNN CORRESPONDENT: That's exactly it, miles. Good morning. I'm standing in front of Columbia Elementary School which is in North St. Louis, we're no more than 15-minute drive through city streets from downtown St. Louis.

And one teacher has been fired according to the St. Louis superintendent of schools, Miles, and another one suspended without pay and looking into whether or not action should be taken against other adults who were supposed to have been supervising at the time. Now we need to point out, Miles, that this is only alleged to have happened. On Friday afternoon. During the recess period after lunch. We're told around 1:00 or 1:15 in the afternoon, and a student is said to have alerted a teacher who was on duty during recess to the fact of a huddle of boys surrounding a second grade girl who is eight years old. And Miles, there are four eight year olds involved, seven seven-year-olds and one six-year-old.

Let's listen to what Craig Williams, the superintendent of schools here in St. Louis has had to say about this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

CREG WILLIAMS, SUPERINTENDENT, ST. LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS: Just a mere thought this is in a young boy's mind at the age of five or six or leads us to know that we have greater problems than we can deal with in any of our schools.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

FREED: Now, Miles, again we need to point out so far this is characterized as an alleged or possible sexual assault. It really isn't clear yet to what extent anything actually happened. Miles?

M. O'BRIEN: All right. So, the obviously they have enough -- doctors have an opportunity to examine the young girl, the victim or I guess as you put it, it would be an alleged victim. How is she doing this morning? Is there anything that they have been able to determine one way or another whether an assault occurred?

FREED: Those are the question that is all of us are asking and so far the only thing that anybody here on an official level is saying or at least is reported to be saying is that she's OK. The questions are surrounding her emotional well being, the extent of an assault notwithstanding, they're concerned that if anything like this did happen, how in the very least is she doing emotionally?

M. O'BRIEN: As far as we know, was it just one little girl or was there -- were there other victims potentially?

FREED: They are looking into this to make sure that there aren't any others. For the time being we are only talking about one.

M. O'BRIEN: Jonathan Freed in St. Louis, what a disturbing story, thank you very much, though.

Coming up later on AMERICAN MORNING, we're going to learn more about what may come next in this case. We're going to talk to the superintendent of the St. Louis public schools. You saw him briefly a moment ago. That will be in the 9:00 a.m. Eastern hour. Stay with us for that.

Soledad?

S. O'BRIEN: Happening in America this morning, by an overwhelming vote the House passed a bill banning protests at military funerals. The measures aimed primarily at a small Kansas religious sect. Its members routinely protesting funerals claiming God is punishing the U.S. military in Iraq because of America's acceptance of homosexuality.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hands up! Hands up! Hands up!

(END VIDEO CLIP)

S. O'BRIEN: Well, there you are. Hands up. Two armed robbery suspects found by police hiding in the trunk. Police in Warren, Michigan, say the driver was acting overly nervous and led them to open up the trunk. Three suspects, 17 years old, all being held on a million dollars bond in connection with a string of gas station robberies.

Hundreds of people whose homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina joined a lawsuit against State Farm Insurance. They claim that the company is refusing to pay claims for damages caused by Katrina's winds. State Farm says it is going to pay what they owe. They have already paid out a billion dollars. Miles?

M. O'BRIEN: Steve Vaught, the self proclaimed fat man walking completed his Forrest Gump journey. Vaught strolled across the George Washington Bridge from New Jersey into Manhattan Tuesday. I was going to meet him out there but didn't make it. How lame is that? He walks across the country. I couldn't get up to the G.W. Bridge.

Anyway, he walked from San Diego to New York. He had issues with depression and he weighed in excess of 400 pounds and decided this was the thing to do. He lost 100 pounds along the way. Still a heavy guy, but less heavy. It all began April 10th of last year.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

STEVE VAUGHT, FAT MAN WALKING: I feel great. I mean, I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that I made it. And I really kind of thought that I would sort of be crawling over the bridge and, you know, this far away. Now that I'm here, I feel strong, I feel like I can continue going and maybe I will. Who knows? Maybe tomorrow I'll say I'm heading back.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

M. O'BRIEN: That would be Forrest Gump. Just head right back. So Soledad is going to talk to him in the 9:00 hour, right? Eastern Time.

S. O'BRIEN: Yeah.

M. O'BRIEN: Why don't you ask him that question? You going to ...

S. O'BRIEN: Interesting. Lots to talk about. He was involved in a fatal car accident. He killed two people. It was one of the things that triggered - yeah, he killed ...

M. O'BRIEN: Accidentally.

S. O'BRIEN: Pedestrians. He served time in prison. And it was one of the things that triggered this whole exploration for him and he's got two little kids.

And you know, he's had a lot of experiences in this just one year alone. So we're looking forward to talking to him.

Let's talk baseball, shall we?

M. O'BRIEN: Let's.

S. O'BRIEN: Barry Bonds is going to try it again tonight to match the Babe for the second on the all-time home run list. I guess he's going to best him - are they matched?

M. O'BRIEN: This will be the tie. Next home run ...

S. O'BRIEN: This will be the tie, right. He is going to try to tie him tonight.

M. O'BRIEN: Back, back, back. No.

S. O'BRIEN: Yep. Last night, didn't happen. That's Chicago Cubs outfielder Juan Pierre who just grabbed that.

M. O'BRIEN: Nice catch.

S. O'BRIEN: Bonds stuck at 713. Still one behind Babe Ruth. And 42 behind all-time leader Hank Aaron.

M, O'BRIEN: We're watching it.

Coming up, who's to blame for the botched response to Hurricane Katrina? A lot of chapters and verses have been written on that. A new book says a lot of it is this man's fault, that's the mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin. We'll tell you why one author calls Nagin pathetic and criminally negligent.

S. O'BRIEN: Also this morning, put away the prom dress, get rid of the jewelry, some kids have their prom dreams dashed after their dates are banned from the prom. We'll take a look at the controversy just ahead on AMERICAN MORNING.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

S. O'BRIEN: Checking our top stories this is morning. Firefighters are battling about 100 fires across Florida this morning. Black smoke mixed with fog forced the closure of part of Interstate 95 in Brevard and Volusia Counties.

Improving mileage standards for cars. The House Energy Committee begins to hear testimony about that issue this morning. There are about 106 confirmed cases of that rare eye fungus infection we told you about not long ago. Federal health officials say they're not sure what's causing it and most of those infected reported using the contact lens cleaner Renu with Moisture Lock. Miles?

M. O'BRIEN: It's prom time and at one high school in Massachusetts, seniors are discovering a strange new ritual that perhaps is a sign of the times. Carol Costello now from the newsroom with more. Hi, Carol.

CAROL COSTELLO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: To us it certainly seems like a strange new ritual. It's pretty darn tough to get into the Dennis Yarmouth prom if you don't attend the school. You have to be under the age of 21, you have to have a picture I.D. and there are random alcohol breath tests. Oh, and there's one more thing, something that's kept six students possibly dateless, one girl calls it a smack in the face.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

COSTELLO (voice-over): Prom night. It is the main event for many high school seniors. But students at the Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School in Cape Cod have a beef with school officials who this year initiated criminal background checks for non-students attending the prom. So far, at least six prom dates have been banned from Saturday's big dance.

TANYA DOCKRAY, PROM DATE BANNED: I bought a dress, I bought a purse. I bought a nice shawl to keep me warm.

COSTELLO: Tanya Dockray and her family have already spent $700 on the prom. She turned in the required form with information on her prom date. A guy she's been dating for three years. Last week, it came back date denied.

T. DOCKRAY: A couple of years back he was in possession of marijuana.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Selling it?

T. DOCKRAY: No. He just had it on him.

ANGIE DOCKRAY, TANYA'S MOTHER: Assault and battery and really violent crimes I can understand this. But this, I mean, it is really extreme.

COSTELLO: Erica Eckert's boyfriend rejected by the school because of a prior alcohol possession charge.

RUSS ROBIE, BANNED FROM PROM: Probably think we're going to cause a raucous. Show up at the door drunk or something stupid. We learn from our mistakes and just ridiculous.

ERICA ECKERT, PROM DATE BANNED: There's also other kids at the school that have longer records than our boyfriends and stuff like that. So, it's like, you know, what's good for them should be good for everyone else. COSTELLO: Both Erica and Tanya's family say the prom information said nothing about the dates subjected to a criminal background check. A spokesman for the state education department says the screening may actually violate state law. Fur its part, the Dennis Yarmouth district says, quote, "No students from Dennis Yarmouth Regional High School have been prohibited from attending the event. Although school rules allow the administration to deny access to any guest, the Dennis Yarmouth School District and both police departments are reviewing policies and procedures to ensure compliance and consistency with state regulations.

ROBERT ECKERT, ERICA'S FATHER: I think they're going overboard because from what I understand, they have a police officer there.

KATHY ECKERT, ERICA'S MOTHER: It is a senior prom. He is not going for this great big important job.

COSTELLO: Still, others say the criminal checks are a good thing.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I do agree with what they're doing, yeah. For the kids' safety.

COSTELLO: But the school's ruling changes everything for seniors like Erica and Tanya, suddenly all dressed up with nowhere to go.

T. DOCKRAY: Every girl wants to go to the senior prom and finding out that I can't go with the person I want to be with, you know, I don't want to go alone.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COSTELLO (on camera): Oh, but she probably will. Tanya's parents appealed the decision but were denied. The Massachusetts ACLU is involved. It claimed the school's actions are illegal. It says it's investigating. Some students say they'll still go to the prom but just like Tanya, they will go dateless and it is indeed true they'll have police officers providing security at the prom, as well, Miles.

M. O'BRIEN: It's -- boy.

S. O'BRIEN: Why would it be illegal to do a background check on somebody? I mean, that's what I don't understand.

COSTELLO: It could be against state law ...

S. O'BRIEN: I'm sorry?

COSTELLO: Could be against state law.

S. O'BRIEN: To do a background check?

COSTELLO: To do a background check on anyone. A criminal background check. The state has a law that says you cannot do that. According to the ACLU. And of course, as I said, they're challenging that.

M. O'BRIEN: If somebody signs a waiver saying it's OK for you to check ...

COSTELLO: See, in that information form that they got, it didn't say anything, according to the parents about the criminal background check.

M. O'BRIEN: Didn't clearly state it. In that case, yeah, that would be against law.

S. O'BRIEN: Interesting.

M. O'BRIEN: All right. Thank you, Carol.

Next hour, Tanya Dockray and her mother Angie will join us. We'll talk about that controversial prom day ban at some length. Soledad?

S. O'BRIEN: Well, ahead, we know she is -- Britney Spears is pregnant again. We'll tell you what she told Dave Letterman just ahead.

Then a sneak peak at the cool new video games your kids are going to beg you for. Those stories are all ahead on AMERICAN MORNING. Back in a moment.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(MUSIC)

S. O'BRIEN: The song says give me a sign. Well, um, here's a sign. Yes, Dave. I'm pregnant. There's a little sign for you. Britney Spears done it again. She's expecting baby number two. She's 24 years old and she confirmed all those pregnancy rumors during an interview with David Letterman last night.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DAVID LETTERMAN, TALK SHOW HOST: So, we've established that you are, in fact, pregnant. Is that right?

BRITNEY SPEARS, ENTERTAINER: Yes, sir.

LETTERMAN: There you go. See, Paul.

SPEARS: Don't worry, Dave. It's not yours.

LETTERMAN: Oh!

Well, I think that's good news for both of us.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

S. O'BRIEN: Britney is married to Kevin Federline and they have an eight-month-old son, Sean Preston. Kevin's got two other children with another woman. What is her name?

M. O'BRIEN: Don't know.

S. O'BRIEN: Shay. Shar Jackson.

M. O'BRIEN: Shar Jackson. Is that all one word?

S. O'BRIEN: Shar Jackson. She is an actress. I've been following this whole story.

M. O'BRIEN: Kevin is a snappy dresser. He's got a porkpie hat.

S. O'BRIEN: In that shot.

M. O'BRIEN: Let' bring back the porkpie hat, shall we? It is back.

S. O'BRIEN: He usually doesn't usually wear this.

ANDY SERWER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: He usually wears sweats.

S. O'BRIEN: Congratulations to the happy couple. Thrilled for them and great news. Anyway, moving on.

SERWER: Well played, Soledad.

S. O'BRIEN: Thank you.

M. O'BRIEN: All right. Talk about the alternative minimum tax, shall we? OK.

S. O'BRIEN: Go ahead.

M. O'BRIEN: I know you are going to make it safe for us, right?

SERWER: What would Britney spears say? Lawmakers yesterday unveiled a $69 million tax package and though it didn't have all the things on the president's wish list, it's probably going to pass both chambers later in the week and be on the president's desk. He is expected to sign this bill.

There is some good news for people afflicted by the AMT, the alternative minimum tax. It's going to raise thresholds which supposedly will shield 15 million Americans from this onerous tax.

M. O'BRIEN: Sounds like a virus. AMT.

SERWER: It is. It will also extend the reduced capital gains and dividends, rates the 15 percent 2008 to 2010, so that's good news for people who invest in the stock market.

And also will allow wealthy Americans to use Roth IRAs instead of regular IRAs, which is good news for wealthy Americans.

Some oil companies will have some of their tax incentives reduced to offset the loss of the $69 billion of tax revenues. So there you have it.
