good morning, america. and breaking news. from jail to bail, the high price of freedom for the global money man battling sexual assault charges. leaving prison for a posh manhattan apartment to live under armed guard. why it costs $1 million and pore to go free. the challenger. president obama made him ambassador to china. now jon huntsman may be the candidate the white house fears most. on the presidential campaign trail he speaks out for the first time in a "gma" exclusive. this mother caused an international outcry when she claimed she gave botox to her 8-year-old daughter. now she says she was faking it. but was she lying then or is she lying now? "gma" investigates. no hollywood ending.

arnold says so long to the movies. >> hasta la vista, baby. >> the starring roles from washed up rodeo star to animated superhero put on hold as his real-life drama heats up. good friday morning, everyone and what a week it has been already and we have new details coming out about arnold schwarzenegger, his movie comeback is on hold so we'll have the latest details on that and much more ahead. >> he says he wants to put his family life first. a live picture coming from rikers island right now. a little later dominique strauss-kahn, the former head of the international monetary fund, accused of sexually assaulting that maid in a new york hotel will be free after posting a million dollars cash bail, but he'll have to live under armed guard and electronic monitoring.

chris cuomo has been tracking the latest. good morning, chris. >> reporter: it was a good day/bad day for the defendant. yes, he got bail and will be able to see his wife and kids again but it could be short-lived. he learned of the grand jury indictment which could not be any harsher. abc news learned strauss-kahn's wife rented an apartment in this posh building on the upper east side which has two bedrooms going for as much as $14,000 a month. sources say unless the building's management changes its mind this could become strauss-kahn's new home as early as this morning when he's expected to be released on bail. on thursday, strauss-kahn had celebrated that small convivictn court blowing a kiss to his wife. >> i have decided i will grant bail under the following conditions. >> reporter: it came after a laundry list of promises from strauss-kahn's attorneys including surrendering his passport and agreeing to remain confined in that new apartment 24/7. strauss-kahn also agreed to wear an electronic monitoring

bracelet and have video surveillance all times and to be escorted to and from court by bodyguards. promises sealed with $1 million in cash and 5 million in assets as additional insurance. prosecutors argued strauss-kahn tried to flee once and had the means and motive to try again. >> he has the stature and the resources to live a life of ease and comfort in parts of the world that are beyond this court. >> reporter: ultimately the judge didn't buy the prosecutor's bail argument but did score a major victory nonetheless and on a grander scale. a seven-count grand jury indictment including multiple forced sex acts and attempted rape. counts carrying up to 25 years in prison. prosecutors also got help from another unlikely source, former madam kristin davis who infamously outed disgraced new york governor eliot spitzer as client number 9. davis says strauss-kahn was also a client, one with a nasty reputation.

>> the girl came back after words and said that he was aggressive and rough and that she didn't want to see him again. if he ever called. >> it's an interesting part of the story. more on that tonight how the madam fits in. interesting detail. strauss-kahn resigned from the imf but does get one of these great bank, you know, golden parachutes, $350,000 up front, $318,000 every year for the rest of his life. >> no matter what, even if he's convicted of this. >> that's right. the question is who gets that money because he may be sitting in jail for the rest of his life if the trial goes the wrong way. >> commonplace to get bail. >> yes, good strong point. most people get bail. not unusual. >> all right there, chris. arnold schwarzenegger may have a new starring role now, an expensive divorce battle and putting his hollywood comeback on hold to deal wit. the former governor told his talent agency thursday to postpone all movie projects while he sorts out his personal life. david wright joins us at our

bureau in los angeles. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. big news and it came in a brief statement from schwarzenegger's lawyers. it said, "all motion picture projects currently under way or being negotiated to stop planning until further notice." the statement said governor schwarzenegger is focusing on personal matters. clearly the governor has his hands full. his whole family does. both families. yesterday the former housekeeper's grown daughter found herself in the glare of the spotlight. >> mom is a great woman. she is the most caring person you'll ever know. >> reporter: there's a lot of sympathy out there for maria shriver. reportedly she's hired a top divorce lawyer. >> i don't think she's in a mood to be applicable and split up the estate. >> reporter: schwarzenegger's plans for a comeback had included "cry macho," a movie about a washed up rodeo star and

a mexican boy hoping to reconnect with his father. another planned project, "the governornator." >> it has been an honor to have served you for the past eight years but now i must say good-bye. >> reporter: a cartoon about a rich politician who becomes a superhero. >> governor, will you be returning to your life as a movie star? >> reporter: even the governornator's wife doesn't know his true secret identity. sound familiar? >> it makes no sense to release a movie. there's a large austrian pink elephant in the room. >> reporter: he is politically astatute. he must have seen what happened to mel gibson who missed the mark with his recent comeback project. >> who are you? >> i'm the beaver. >> the thing died. 17 people saw it. those were mostly his agents and a couple of his kids. >> reporter: which is not to say schwarzenegger's career is completely ka put. >> i'll be back. >> reporter: but not now. this is no minor setback. >> you are terminated.

even terminating things temporarily is going to cost schwarzenegger. "cry macho" alone, he signed on to for $12.5 million. george? >> that is going to have to wait. thanks very much. we'll turn to the 2012 challengers and my exclusive interview with jon huntsman. the former republican governor of utah, he he's a motorcycle loving mormon, served as ambassador to china for president obama but now he's gearing up for a challenge to the president and i caught up with him during his first campaign trip to new hampshire. huntsman says he hasn't made a final decision. >> hello, everybody. >> reporter: but sure looked like a candidate thursday. >> how are you? the owner of the -- >> reporter: he campaigned with his wife and daughter and when we spoke, i asked about what could be his biggest problem in a primary. i know you know that for a lot of republican primary voters, the number one question is, does he have a chance? he worked for obama. what's the answer?

>> i worked for the president of the united states. the president asked me. the president of all the people and during a time of war, during a time of economic difficulty for our country, if i'm asked by my president to serve i'll stand up and do it. >> reporter: so you'd do it again. >> i'd do it again, of course. i've always been trained at that when your country needs you, particularly in a critical and sensitive bipartisan position, which is u.s. ambassador to china you -- if there is the prospect that you can get in there and bring about change in a way that helps your country through public service, i'm there. >> reporter: the president is a particular person/president barack obama, you wrote to him saying, calling him a remarkable leader. do you stand by that? >> he chose me, a republican, and i wrote that to him by way of a thank you note and thank you notes are a proud tradition for a lot of people and it's a good thing that people don't go

through george bush sr.'s thank you notes because he wrote a lot of them and i do a lot of them too and it was my way of expressing what i thought about his selection. >> reporter: i'm asking what you think about him now. do you believe he's a remarkable leader and are you in sync with his foreign policy? >> history will show how effective he is. in terms of foreign policy, we have a generational opportunity, george, to reset our position in the world. it means that we probably don't need to be in certain parts of the middle east where there are domestic revolutions playing out where we probably should ought to let them play out. >> reporter: is that libya? >> libya would be among them. >> reporter: you'd stop enforcing the no-fly zone? >> well, i would have chosen from the beginning not to intervene in libya. i would say that it is not core to our national security interest. >> reporter: let's talk about some domestic issues. republican primary voters are going to wonder about your

decision as governor of utah to take the stimulus funds, president obama's stimulus funds and when you were asked about it, you suggested that one of the problems with the stimulus is that it wasn't big enough. is that what you still believe? >> if you read on in that interview, you will find that i was specifically referring to corporate tax cuts, payroll tax deductions and focusing the stimulus in infrastructure projects that would improve our economic future. >> reporter: but you also did a line yourself with mark zandi. >> my take was let's stimulate business and look at tax cuts and payroll tax deductions. that's exactly what i said. >> reporter: no apologies for taking the stimulus funds and you might have wanted more stimulus but it would have been more tax cuts. >> a regret that it was not properly focused around that which would really stimulate the economy. >> reporter: no apologies for other positions that could be problems in a gop primary.

civil unions for gay couples, some benefits from illegal immigrants. >> i don't change on my positions. >> reporter: he was squishier on cap and trade. >> today our focus whale care about the environment. today our number one priority is the economy and we should not be doing anything that stands in the way of economic growth. >> reporter: i just have two more questions. one comes from one of our viewers from joellen singly and says the recent comments by mr. huntsman have confused me as to his religious affiliation. is he a practicing mormon or not? >> i believe in god. i'm a good christian. i'm very proud of my mormon heritage. i am mormon. today there are 13 million mormons. it's a very diverse and heterogenius cross section of people. >> reporter: do you think it'll be an issue in this campaign? >> i don't think so. i think people want to know that you if you get in the race are going to be a problem solver, a

pragmatic problem solver who will look laserlike on jobs and keeping the economy moving forward. >> reporter: i know you're going through your due diligence now. anything that can stop you from run jag. >> my wife. that's a final decision. you either feel it inside or you don't. you don't need people who whisper things in your ear and you either have a conviction about our place in time in history and the importance of broadening and expanding the debate. >> reporter: thank you very much, governor. >> thanks, george. in that interview he called for repeal of president obama's health care and endorsed that controversial budget by paul ryan, the one that you can read the full transcript of on my blog, abcnews.com/george. fun to be on that first visit to new hampshire. >> what has been the white house's initial reaction to the possibility that he would run? >> from all my talks to the white house and other top democrats in washington, he seems to be the candidate they fear the most because if he can get through this republican primary he's got a lot more moderate positions that could

appeal to independents and a broader cross section of voters but i think there's a lot of question whether these positions will prevent huntsman from getting the nomination which you'll see in dealing with him up there and my interview, as well. >> we'll pose a question, aren't we? >> do it on our "gma" app. today's question, do you think jon huntsman can win the republican presidential nomination? we'll have the results later in the show. >> now to a surprising twist in a 30-year-old 34is tri. fbi agents with the unabomber's dna to see if he was involved in the infamous tylenol poisonings that left seven people dead in 1982. here's pierre thomas with that story. >> reporter: the unabomber, the man responsible for a terrorism campaign spanning 18 years killing three and injuring 23 others with mail bombs. but sources tell abc news the fbi wants to know if kaczynski could be linked to for series of

chilling murder, the unsolved 1982 case where seven people were killed with cyanide-laced tylenol sold in chicago stores. >> cyanide contains tylenol. >> this product may be contaminated with cyanide and should be destroyed. >> more poisoned capsules turned up. >> reporter: the case that changed the way americans shop prompting the nation's first mass recall of a retail product. now in a strange turn of events, the recent court filing, kaczynski hinted he may be a person of interest in the case. kaczynski grew up in the chicago area and four of his attacks happened there between 1978 and 1980. that reason, sources say, the fbi wants a sample of his dna to compare to evidence in the tylenol case. the fbi had quietly asked kaczynski to voluntarily give it a dna sample but he tried to cut a deal. turns out the government is auctions items from his montana cabin. he has objected to the auction and offering to voluntarily give

it in exchange for stopping the sale. the fbi has no plans to negotiate with a cold-blooded killer. instead it will likely seek a court order to force have sin ski to give up the dna. pierre thomas, abc news, washington. >> as pierre said that's the first time we had a major recall like that. let's turn to josh elliott for other stories. >> good morning. another bombshell accusation against cycling star lance armstrong. a second teammate has accused him of using performance-enhancing drugs. this time it's tyler hamilton who also admits to doping. he tells "60 minutes" he saw armstrong use the blood-boosting drug epo during and before various tour de frances. he tweeted this "20 plus year career, never a failed test, i rest my case." could be a tense meeting at the white house today between president obama and israeli's

prime minister benjamin netanyahu. thursday president obama called on israel to give up land it gained in the 1967 six-day war to make peace with the palestinians. netanyahu called the idea indefensible. a wild ride for a suspected shoplifter in south carolina. he attacked an officer as you can see here who pulled him over then actually jumped behind the wheel of the cruiser and he was off. he hit up to 120 miles an hour, yeah, before slamming there into a landscaping truck. he did survive the crash. he will also face multiple charges. and finally, talk about one multitasking mom. take a look at this. tiffany goodwin snagging a foul pop and that's her 8-month-old son. it's a richmond flying squirrels game. her husband -- when trying to call her off he's been waiting 38 years to catch a foul ball at a game. something of a ball hog as she's caught too on the air. ki say having caught two myself

at dodgers games there might be no greater thrill. >> car ride home between the two of them. >> that's no glory. she went for it. the weather with sam. hey, sam. >> good morning, george, robin, josh, everybody. whoever gets there first wins. here's the hurricane season forecast out. our government says it's going to be an active season. they're comparing it to the 2005 season. remember that? we went through the entire list and then some. global pattern is similar to 2005. san antonio, dallas, oklahoma city, omaha, our words to you, watch out. we had nine tornadoes on the board yesterday. likely some strong storms today.

>> the west coast gets a break on this friday for weather and all the other weather when we come back in the next half hour. now to an incredible home invasion outside houston. two burglars robbed a

76-year-old man in a quilt and duyt taped his feet and hands. waiting to see how he broke free, ryan owens has that story. >> reporter: this 76-year-old rancher is back in the saddle, back on his tractor after an ordeal that could have killed a man half his age. police say these two suspects broke into henry schmidt's house, used duct tape to bind his hands and feet then wrapped his body in a blanket. police say the duo proceeded to ransack the house for hours before leaving with their loot. >> he wasn't ready to give up. a bunch of young thugs coming and taking his property and leaving him for dead. >> reporter: so schmidt rolled himself into the kitchen where the next morning the two found him. they ended up dragging the man back into his bedroom. this time when they left, a dehydrated and starving schmidt managed to crawl back into the

kitchen somehow opened the door of the refrigerator and knocked grapes onto the floor. for nearly two days that's all he had to eat. the grapes gave him enough strength to slide open a back door and roll himself down this impossibly long driveway where passer-byes finally spotted him. >> we didn't think this ourself. kind of did a double take. there he was. >> reporter: this morning, these two are behind bars while the spry senior they left for dead is waking up at home very much alive. for "good morning america," ryan owens, abc news, houston. >> what a resourceful man. unbelievable. coming up, this mother claims she gave botox to her 8-year-old daughter. now she says she made it all up. "gma" investigates the latest. we also had the latest twist in the murder trial of casey anthony. is the case in jeopardy before it begins? dan harris' adventures in

can't find enough people for a jury pool. and that has many people wondering if this trial is in jeopardy before it even begins. in a moment we'll talk to nancy grace but first ashleigh banfield with the latest. >> reporter: after ten case and more than 150 potential jurors there still aren't enough to sit in judgment of casey anthony. >> the well runs dry. >> reporter: frustrated by the slow going, the judge ushered in a brand-new pool of 30 jurors on thursday. >> i'd like to introduce you to casey marie anthony. >> reporter: these new jurors have all been exposed to coverage of the case so far. >> premeditated design to effect the death of -- >> reporter: day after day, casey has marched into the clearwater, florida, courtroom to find out who will decide her fate. >> watching magazine shows such as "the nancy grace show." >> reporter: it's a complex case. jurors will be sequestered for

long time to select a jury. is that a major reason why because so many eyes have been on the case? >> well, robin, a lot of court watchers or legal analysts may point to that as a reason, but the reality is is i can't stress enough this is a death penalty case and you don't want a misstep. what that would mean is that 10, 12 years from now we'd be trying the case again. that was one of the first cases i tried as a district attorney, a 14-year-old murder case, that had been reversed 13 years later. we don't want that. so it's going to take a long time and that's just a bitter pill. the jury pool, the judge and lawyers have to swallow it. >> i was going to play a clip. they brought up the name of your show over and over again and even mentioned "gma" a time or two in the jury selection. were you surprised to be -- that they're saying that so much and using that in the delay? >> no, i'm not surprised at all.

in fact, if both sides did not hate my show, i would be very concerned, because nobody wants to hear any criticism of their client or their technique or a very, you know, honest and realistic critique of what's going on in the courtroom, so naturally it's going to make people squirm when they hear the truth. i mean does me sometime but the reality is so what if they throw my name around? who cares? what matters is that 2-year-old caylee is dead. robin, she had duct tape wrapped across her mouth and nose and her remains, a tell ton, was thrown in a wooded area. that's what matters. so if my name or my show was thrown around, that's the least of my concerns. >> i can understand that and we do have to remember caylee and what you just said about her. because it has taken so long to select a jury, does that play into the minds of those later?

does that have any impact, you think, on the jury? >> robin, i really believe it does, because they're sitting through a very onerous process and have been analysts and sometimes needless questioning and i've got to point out it is from the defense, the state very often has very few questions for each juror and, frankly, i believe that tilts the jury against the defense and i'd like to point out that not 1 out of 160 people have said i think she's innocent. why? because no one has asked the right question, but this delay in jury selection probably makes the jurors think, oh, if this is what it takes to get a jury, what's it going to be like by the time we finally get a verdict. >> when do you expect to hear opening statements? what do you expect to hear from the defense? >> robin, you need to read "the orlando sentinel." the judge wants a jury now. of course he's been saying that

for ten days so i don't know what it really means. what we really expect to happen is a jury to be sworn in today. the judge is going to give everybody a breather including the jurors. they got to pack their bags, opening statements monday morning 0900. that is the belief. >> that is the hope of many to move this forward. it's already been, what, three years now and we're hearing -- what has been casey's demeanor, nancy, in court, during all this? >> well, i've got to tell you something, robin. she plays a lot differently over the tv camera than in person, because yesterday i looked at her nonstop and it recall the days when i would try case and look at defendants and think, how could you or did you? and i looked at her and she looked very pale and pitiful and her hair has gotten very long back in a girlish ponytail and i was looking at her and it's very mesmerizing, it's like looking at a snake charmer.

stroke risk 35% more than warfarin. and with pradaxa, there's no need for those regular blood tests. pradaxa is progress. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding, and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have kidney problems or a bleeding condition, like stomach ulcers. or if you take aspirin products, nsaids, or blood thinners. tell your doctor about all medicines you take, any planned medical or dental procedures, and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval, as stopping may increase your stroke risk. other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you have afib not caused by a heart valve problem, ask your doctor if pradaxa can reduce your risk of a stroke.

reviews but now back after a full makeover and the man behind the show, u2's bono will tell us who he thinks is responsible for it. >> i can't believe how many times they've had to remake that show but looks like it might be on its way now. you're not going to scream because you're on camera? they're really going to be screaming because elmo is back and elmo has a very important story. the most important thing your child needs to know. >> always great to have elmo here. >> it is. >> we'll start more on the arnold schwarzenegger story. he put his career on hold. more on his personal life and how his kids are going through this. the spotlight is harsher on them than ever before sharing some of their pain in public and juju chang joins us with more. >> you know they aren't just hollywood royalty. if you think about it they've spent most of their family as

the first family of california. emotional trouble is about shattered illusions and in this case when the father they respected and trusted is now gone. katherine, christina, patrick and christopher grew up on a very public stage, so even after the bombshell revelation of their father's affair with the family maid and the half-brother they never knew, the schwarzenegger children have remained perfectly poised. katherine poetly retweeted a line from "the notebook." everything happens for a reason. the hard part is finding out what that reason is. >> katherine is being very honest and she's also being incredibly mature to say that she wants to heal and that it's going to take time but she's not going to lose her family over this. >> reporter: last year on "gma," katherine who wrote a book revealed the bond she has with her mother, a source of her strength. >> we have an amazing relationship and she was always really good at making sure that she was always open to talk about anything with me.

>> reporter: but the healing process is tricky with such public scrutiny of their private lives. jamie lee curtis, the daughter of hollywood celebrities herself wrote a blog, i have had traumas. if i had had traumas and cameras pointed at me all day long, i don't know what toll it would have taken on me and added "i urge us all to leave them alone. let them tell us what they want to tell us." experts say our fascination can sometimes overshadow the immense devastation all five of these children are feeling. >> the biggest thing that's been shattered is my father, the father that i knew, the father that i relied upon, the guy that you thought you lived with all these years turns out to be a different guy. and you're dealing with a massive amount of disillusionment. >> reporter: give me the fireball of feelings that those children must be going through right now. >> anger, a sense of shame, a sense of betrayal and a sense of great, great grief.

>> reporter: all these kids are going through what therapists would call a redefinition of their very identity. patrick, you'll recall, tweeted a lyric earlier this week that ended "i love my family till death do us part" and many mentioned the maturity in that, we are in pain but will move on as a family. >> so interesting to see how they'll maneuver the public and private aspects in sharing just a little bit. >> and doing the rest in very private quarter. >> thanks very much. to josh elliott with the news. >> hey, george. we begin with dominique strauss-kahn who spent his last night in a new york jail at least for now. days after being accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid, the former head of the international monetary fund is being released on $1 million bail. he'll be under house arrest but hardly roughing it. he'll be staying in a city apartment rented for up to $14,000 a month and he'll collect a lifelong pension topping $250,000 per year. meanwhile, american equipments came under attack in northwest pakistan. a car bomb exploded as two u.s. consulate vehicles were driving

past it injuring two americans. it is the first attack on westerners in the country since osama bin laden's death there. president obama and israel's prime minister will have much to discuss at the white house today. benjamin netanyahu is dismissing the president's recent call for israel to return to its 1967 borders and so to help form a palestinian state. and how good is life if you're a full-time lifeguard at newport beach, california beaches. nearly all of them earn more than $100,000 last year, two of them made over $200,000 and while the city is now looking to reduce their haranks they're defending their pay. because they save lives and train the part-timers they deserve the same salaries as high-ranking firefighters. reunited, oh, does it feel so good. five years ago, cookie the chihuahua wandered off. well, he's returned to his family in san diego after

hope for. ♪ >> reporter: it was supposed to be the biggest musical broadway had ever seen. "spider-man," by bono and the edge, sumptuous sets and fantastic flying sequence. >> just passing through. >> reporter: but after five accidents. >> there's been another accident. >> reporter: six delayed openings and some of the worst reviews in broadway's history, it seemed the death knell had sounded for the show. so i've never read quite so horrific reviews. "the new york times," it may rank among the worst musical ever made. "the washington post," shrill, insipid. what did you think when you read these. >> sort of things we were saying backstage. i mean seriously, might have been a little hard for some other people around here to take that, but we don't disagree with "the new york times." >> reporter: that shocking insight seems to be part of what led to the departure of julie, the legendary director of "the

lion king" who wrote and directed the original version of the show. so what went wrong? i mean everyone wants to understand what went wrong, why isn't she still directing the show. >> julie would not accept this but she got very close to it. so close perhaps that she couldn't see it and we were going at it and coming back and we could see very clearly what we thought were the problems and she didn't think they were as big a problem as we did, and sometimes at a point like that you've got to just say, look, you are too close and this is -- we're eating up more and more time of the people's money and we have actually got to stop now and fix this. >> reporter: last month "spider-man"'s producers closed it for three weeks and brought in phil mckinnely to fix it. a man they're calling its creative consultant. >> reporter: it doesn't bug you a little bit not to be called the director of "spider-man."

>> no, actually some call me spidey doc. i like that. >> reporter: the show certainly needed a doctor. a song has been added. ♪ $65 million circus >> he. >> reporter: and the love story has been developed. ♪ >> the last version of "turn offer the dark" had a lot of magic and mysterious stuff. it was beautiful actually in so many ways, it just didn't cohere. this time you have a really clear story line. you have characters that you're getting to know. the music is legible. and there's lots of really obvious stuff has been fixed. >> reporter: but don't worry, spider-man still flies. this is chris tierney who nearly

died when his harness wasn't properly tied off. >> i wear an underarmer suit. >> reporter: he's back and airborne. in fact, the whole show seems to fly now. well, in fairness to julie taymore, bono and the edge told me they still considered the original director one of the greatest creative talents of all time, robin and ultimately the success of the show if it is successful now will also be a tribute to her. we asked her to comment and she declined. >> how is the relationship now with all of them? >> you know, it's hard. they were all really close friends and i asked the edge and bono, they said they haven't talked to her for a bit but will invite her to opening night. >> you have seen it before and after all the changes. what do you think. >> i have to say i loved it times two. >> all right. >> loved it. >> have a great weekend. we love that you brought it to us. you can see all of cynthia's report on "nightline" after your local late news. me
