. >> NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN AND SNOW
MONDAY. WE'LL BE RIGHT RIGHT NOW
,SUNRISER. A MAJOR DECISION
COULD COME DOWN IN THE DIRECTION
OF IN CASE WHILE THE STATE
SUPREME COURT GAVE THE POWER
TO JUDGE CAHILL TO DECIDE IF
HE WANTS TO REINSTATE THE THIRD
DEGREE MURDER CHARGE AND YOU MAY
SEE A FEW FLAKES FLY THIS
MORNING AS OUR SPRING STORM
EXITS THE REGION. SUN COMES BACK
OUT TODAY. I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW
THE WEEKEND IS SHAPING UP .
HELP IS ON THE WAY FOR MILLIONS
STRUGGLING TO PAY THE BILLS WHEN
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS HE'LL SIGN
OFF ON THOSE FOURTEEN HUNDRED
STIMULUS CHECKS AND JUST WHEN
THEY'LL HIT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT,
RAMSEY COUNTY IS LOOKING TO DROP
ITS MASSIVE MANDATE. BUT NOW
THE STATE IS TAKING A STAND.
THE GREAT MASS DEBATE CONTINUES
IN ST. PAUL. HE TAKES CARE OF
YOUR PACKAGES. NOW HE'S BEING
HAILED A HERO. HOW THIS FEDEX
DRIVER SAVED A WOMAN'S LIFE
AFTER SHE CRASHED INTO
A FREEZING RIVER. IT'S THURSDAY,
MARCH 11 . KARE 11 SUNRISE
STARTS NOW. COVID19 CAN BE
CHARACTERIZED AS A PANDEMIC.
>> THAT WAS ONE YEAR AGO TODAY.
IT WAS THE START OF OUR WORLD
TURNING UPSIDE DOWN 12 MONTHS
OF A NEW NORMAL WITH MASKS,
SOCIAL DISTANCING AND ISOLATION
AND HASN'T BEEN EASY. BUT WE'VE
LEARNED QUITE A BIT. SO KNOWING
WHAT YOU KNOW NOW, WHAT ADVICE
WOULD YOU GIVE YOURSELF AT THIS
POINT LAST YEAR? JOIN
THE CONVERSATION. USE
THAT NUMBER RIGHT THERE. SEVEN
SIX THREE SEVEN NINE SEVEN SEVEN
TWO ONE FIVE TEXAS TO JOIN
THE CONVERSATION.
THE CONVERSATION. >> WE'LL SHARE YOUR COMMENTS
LATER ON IN THE SHOW. DON'T
PANIC.
PANIC.
PANIC. >>
PANIC. >> THERE WILL BE TOILET PAPER.
THAT'S WHAT I TELL MYSELF .
THAT WAS HAPPENEND. EVERYBODY
PANICKED ABOUT THE TOILET PAPER.
HEY, WE GOT THE WHOLE TEAM
HERE THIS MORNING . LISA HAS GOT
AN UPDATE. YOUR CHAPEK IN A BIT.
BUT FIRST GUY, WE'RE GETTING
A BIT OF EVERYTHING DEPENDING
ON WHERE YOU ARE . ABSOLUTELY
SELLAND RIGHT NOW IN THE
KARE 11 BACKYARD. I'M SEEING
THE FLURRY'S OF PICK UP A LITTLE
BIT HERE IN GOLDEN VALLEY,
BUT ESPECIALLY NORTH METRO.
THAT'S REALLY, REALLY SEEING
THE SNOW KIND OF COME DOWN AS
THE SYSTEM EXITS. IT'S PUSHED
OFF TO THE NORTH AND EAST. SO
WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE BIT
OF THAT WRAP AROUND, WHICH MEANS
WIND AND LEFTOVER SNOW. SO THIS
WILL CLIP THE METRO AREA IN THE
TWIN CITIES AREA AS WE'RE RIGHT
ON THE CUSP OF THAT LEADING EDGE
OF SNOW RIGHT NOW, CLOUDY SKIES,
THIRTY THREE FEELS LIKE TWENTY
FIVE. IT IS BREEZY OUT THERE. SO
KEEP THAT IN MIND THIS MORNING .
WHEN YOU'RE STEPPING OUT. HOLD
ON TIGHT TO THAT CAR DOOR SCHOOL
DAY PLANNER. LOOK, SUNNY,
PLEASANT, FINISHED HIGH UPPER
40S. AND OF COURSE, WE DO HAVE
A RASH THAT POPPED UP IN MAPLE
GROVE NEAR WIEBRAND ROAD.
>> NINETY FOUR EASTBOUND AT ONE
HUNDRED FIRST AVENUE. YOU CAN
SEE IT BLOCKING THAT LEFT
SHOULDER. SO KAISSY TO A BIT
OF A SLOW DOWN IN EAST
BOLLING'S. BUT THE WEST PLAINS,
WE ARE SEEING A LITTLE BIT
OF GOCHER TRAFFIC THIS MORNING .
SO JUST A HEADS UP FOR THAT .
THAT'S THE ONLY ISSUE I AM
TRACKING HERE AROUND THE TWIN
CITIES METRO. NO OTHER CRASHES
TO REPORT THIS TIME.
>> WELL , THIS MORNING WE COULD
FINALLY GET AN ANSWER ABOUT
WHETHER A THIRD DEGREE MURDER
CHARGE WILL BE ADDED BACK IN THE
DERRICK CHAUVIN CASE THAT AFTER
A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FROM
THE STATE SUPREME COURT
YESTERDAY. JENNIFER JOINS US NOW
LIVE FROM THE GOVERNMENT CENTER
TO EXPLAIN. AND GOOD MORNING .
YEAH, GOOD MORNING . THAT BIG
DEVELOPMENT, THE STATE SUPREME
COURT SAID IT WILL NOT INTERVENE
IN THIS CASE. THAT MEANS UNLESS
SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH THE COURT
OF APPEALS, JUDGE CAHILL CAN NOW
DECIDE WHETHER TO REINSTATE
THAT THIRD DEGREE MURDER CHARGE.
HE COULD, HOWEVER, FIND A NEW
REASON TO LEAVE IT OUT.
WE'LL HOPEFULLY FIND ANSWERS
THIS MORNING IF HE DOES READ AT
IT THAT WOULD MOST LIKELY MEAN
THIS TRIAL WILL NOT BE DELAYED
AND CAN CONTINUE WITHOUT
THE CONCERN OF THESE APPEALS
ISSUES. ANOTHER BIG DEVELOPMENT
WE NOW KNOW THE THREE FORMER
LAPD OFFICERS CHARGED IN GEORGE
FLOYDS DEATH WILL NOT BE
TESTIFYING IN CHAUVINS TRIAL.
THOSE OTHER THREE OFFICERS
ARE SCHEDULED TO STAND TRIAL
TOGETHER IN AUGUST. THEY HAVE
A FIFTH AMENDMENT RIGHT NOT
TO SELF INCRIMINATE BY
TESTIFYING IN CHAUVINS TRIAL
AND BECAUSE THEY WON'T,
THAT ELIMINATES THE POSSIBILITY
THAT ONE OF THEM WILL TURN
ON CHAVIN DURING HIS TRIAL.
AGAIN, THOUGH, THIS MORNING ,
THE BIG DEVELOPMENT POTENTIALLY
WE'RE LOOKING FOR ONCE COURT
RESUMES AT 8:00 THIS MORNING IS
WHETHER JUDGE CAHILL
WILL REINSTATE THAT THIRD DEGREE
MURDER CHARGE. AND WE'LL BE
WATCHING THAT LIVE THIS
MORNING . JENNIFER , THANK YOU.
AFTER THE MOTIONS HEARING. JURY
SELECTION WILL PICK BACK UP SO
OUR FIVE JURORS HAVE BEEN SEATED
OUT OF 16 PEOPLE QUESTIONED
THREE WEEKS HAVE BEEN SET ASIDE
FOR THIS PROCESS. IN ALL, 14
PEOPLE ARE NEEDED, 12 JURORS
AND TWO ALTERNATES. AND WE HAVE
CONTINUING COVERAGE ONLINE EVERY
DAY OF THE TRIAL, INCLUDING
A LIVE BLOG AND GAVEL TO GAVEL,
LIVE VIDEO STREAM, JUST HEAD
ON OVER TO KARE 11 DOTCOM OR
DOWNLOAD THE KARE 11 APP ON YOUR
PHONE OR TABLET.
>> WATCH LIVE ANY TIME. HERE'S A
LIVE LOOK FROM OUR NATION'S
CAPITAL THIS MORNING WHERE
WEDNESDAY PRESIDENT BIDEN SCORED
HIS FIRST MAJOR LEGISLATIVE WIN.
THE HOUSE PASSED HIS MASSIVE ONE
POINT NINE TRILLION DOLLAR
COBORN RELIEF BILL.
THE PRESIDENT IS EXPECTED
TO SIGN IT TOMORROW. IT
INCLUDES, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
DIRECT PAYMENTS UP TO FOURTEEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS TO CERTAIN
AMERICANS AND 15 BILLION DOLLARS
IN AID FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.
HERE IN MINNESOTA, A RELIEF
PACKAGE IS ON THE TABLE AS
WELL . IT'S THE GOVERNORS OF ONE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR
SUMMER LEARNING PLAN. KAISSY
EDWARDS JOINS US NOW. THIS WOULD
AFFECT FAMILIES STATEWIDE.
>> WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THIS?
KIAH AND HEY. HEY, CHRIS . SO
BASICALLY THE GOVENOR IS GOING
TO CALL UP THE LEGISLATURE TODAY
ASKING LAWMAKERS TO IMMEDIATELY
PASS THAT SUMMER LEARNING PLAN.
SO THIS IS PART OF HIS COVID-19
RECOVERY BUDGET. THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE SAYS THE OVERALL PURPOSE
OF IT IS TO HELP STUDENTS CATCH
UP AFTER JUST EVERYTHING
THAT THEY'VE GONE THROUGH DURING
THE PANDEMIC. SO HERE ARE SOME
EXAMPLES OF AREAS THAT WOULD BE
FUNDED SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY
BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES,
FIELD TRIPS HANDS-ON LEARNING
MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, SUMMER
SCHOOL FOR PRESCHOOLERS
AND COLLEGE COURSES
FOR GRADUATING SENIORS. BUT KEEP
IN MIND THIS PLAN IS LIKELY
GOING TO BE A TOUGH SELL
TO REPUBLICANS BECAUSE JUST LAST
WEEKEND, JUST CONSIDER SENATE
MAJORITY LEADER PAUL GAZELKA
THE FACT THAT HE WAS PUBLISHED
IN THE STAR TRIBUNE HERE HE IS
CRITICIZING THE GOVERNOR'S
EMERGENCY POWERS. HE SAYS
THE LEGISLATURE HASN'T HAD
ENOUGH INPUT DURING
THE PANDEMIC. AND AFTER A FULL
YEAR NOW UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S
CONTROL, FAMILIES ARE NOT BETTER
OFF. MEANWHILE, THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE SAYS THIS WOULD NEED
TO BE PASSED BY APRIL 15TH SO
THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE
ENOUGH TIME TO PREPARE
FOR SUMMER SCHOOL. TWO WORDS
A LOT OF KIDS DON'T LIKE TO HEAR
SUMMER SCHOOL. WE'LL KEEP YOU
ON TOP OF THAT.
>> THANKS A LOT, KYLE. NOW TIME
FOR YOUR MORNING RUSH.
>> A SERIAL RAPIST IN THE TWIN
CITIES WILL LEARN HIS FATE TODAY
IN A COURTROOM. JOY WIEBRAND
WILL BE SENTENCED TODAY AFTER
PLEADING GUILTY TO SEVERAL
COUNTS OF CRIMINAL SEXUAL
CONDUCT. MANY OF THE INCIDENTS
HAPPENED AROUND THE UNIVERSITY
OF MINNESOTA. HE'S EXPECTED
TO BE SENTENCED TO NEARLY FORTY
SIX YEARS IN PRISON. IF YOU LIVE
IN PLYMOUTH, PREPARE FOR A NOISY
FEW MONTHS. CREWS WILL BE
WORKING TO CLEAN UP SUNDAY'S
TRAIN DERAILMENT NEAR SCHMIDT
LAKE ROAD. OFFICIALS THERE SAY
BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND SCOPE
OF THE TRAIN CARS AND EQUIPMENT
AT THE SITE, IT'LL TAKE
THEM SEVERAL MONTHS TO CLEAN IT
ALL UP . REPRESENTATIVE
IHLEN OMAR IS REINTRODUCING
A BILL TODAY TO GET RID OF ONE
OF YOUR BIGGEST MONTHLY
PAYMENTS. SHE'S HOLDING A NEWS
CONFERENCE TODAY ON A BILL
THAT WOULD CANCEL RENT
AND MORTGAGE PAYMENTS UNTIL NEXT
APRIL. THE BILL WOULD OFFER
TOTAL FORGIVENESS ON PAYMENTS
WITHOUT DAMAGING HER CREDIT OR
RENT HISTORY. IT WOULD ALSO SET
UP A RELIEF FUND FOR LANDLORDS.
THE MINNESOTA WILD ARE RIDING
A TWO GAME HOT STREAK. THE TEAM
BEAT THE VEGAS KNIGHTS FOUR TO
THREE LAST NIGHT. KAAPO KAHKONEN
STOPPED TWENTY FOUR SHOTS TO WIN
HIS EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE START
FOR MINNESOTA. THE WILD TAKE
ON THE ARIZONA COYOTES TOMORROW
NIGHT AT THE X. AND THAT'S YOUR
THURSDAY MORNING RUSH.
>> NOW ON OUR SUNRISERS LIVE ONE
MINNESOTA CITY SAYS
THE RESIDENTS DON'T HAVE
TO ENFORCE THE STATE'S MASSIVE
MANDATE AND IT HAS HUNDREDS
OF PEOPLE FIRED UP ON
OUR KARE 11 FACEBOOK PAGE
TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE CITY
OF RAMSAY, THEIR CITY COUNCIL.
THEY VOTED TO STOP ENFORCING
THE STATE'S MARZOOK MANDATE,
INTRODUCING A RESOLUTION SAYING
THAT CITY RESOURCES SHOULDN'T BE
USED TO ENFORCE THE GOVERNOR'S
ORDER. IT ACTUALLY PASSED BY
FOUR TO THREE VOTE, EVEN THOUGH
THE CITY ATTORNEY TOLD
THEM MULTIPLE TIMES
THAT APPROVING THE MEASURE IS
OUTSIDE THE CITY COUNCIL'S
AUTHORITY EXECUTIVE ORDER.
TWENTY EIGHTY ONE WAS SIGNED BY
GOVERNOR WALZ BACK IN JULY
OF TWENTY TWENTY AND REQUIRES
MINNESOTANS TO WEAR
FACE COVERINGS AND INDOOR PUBLIC
SPACES TO SLOW THE SPREAD
OF COVID-19. ONE CITY COUNCILOR
WENT SO FAR AS TO COMPARING
THE ORDER TO WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE
IN JAPANESE INTERNMENT CAMPS
DURING WORLD WAR TWO.
>> IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE
WORLD, WE HAVE NEVER PUT ENTIRE
POPULATIONS OF COUNTRIES OR
STATES IN MASKS. WE HAVE NOT
COVERED THEIR ABILITY TO BREATHE
AND RESTRICTED THEIR BREATHING.
THERE'S NO PRECEDENT FOR THIS.
HOW CAN THAT NOT BE CONSIDERED
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH NOW
THE TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO
INTRODUCED THE LEGISLATION
COULDN'T BE REACHED FOR A
COMMENT, BUT MINNESOTA ATTORNEY
GENERAL KEITH ELLISON'S OFFICE
SENT A STATEMENT SAYING
THE STATE'S EXECUTIVE ORDER
TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER MEASURES
PASSED BY LOWER UNITS
OF GOVERNMENT. SO IN THIS CASE,
THE STATE ORDER TRUMPS
THE COUNCIL'S VOTE. NOW, A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS
ONLINE HERE , LIKE ROB, WHO SAYS
HE BACKS CITY COUNCIL ONE
HUNDRED % AND THINKS
THE GOVERNOR'S MANDATES NEED
TO END. BUT JACKIE WRITES, MY
WIFE HAS TO WORK IN RAMSEY,
BUT DOESN'T GET TO VOTE. DO YOU
WEAR A SHIRT AND PANTS, WEAR
THE MASK? IT'S SERIOUSLY NOT
THAT HARD. OF COURSE, WE'RE
GOING TO BE KEEPING AN EYE
ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE CITY
OF RAMSAY. BUT IF YOU WANT
TO READ MORE ABOUT THIS, JUST
HEAD TO OUR WEBSITE,
KARE 11 DOTCOM. YEAH,
I'M SURPRISED. YOU KNOW, THEY'VE
BEEN THEY WERE TOLD THAT THEY
CAN ACTUALLY DO THIS. I DON'T
KNOW IF THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
SYMBOLIC TO VOTE IN FAVOR.
>> I'M NOT SURE. YEAH, BUT ANY
TIME MASKS ARE BROUGHT UP ,
IT'S SUPER CONTROVERSIAL RIGHT
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. >>
NOW. >> SURE IS. ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
LET'S GET TO YOU FOR ONE THING,
WHETHER HEY, TAKE A LOOK AT
RADAR THIS MORNING . YOU CAN SEE
THAT LITTLE CLUSTER OF SNOW KIND
OF PUSHED THROUGH THE ST. CLOUD
AREA BUFFALO AREA. YOU MAY BE
SEEING SOME LEFTOVER FLURRIES AT
THIS TIME. THIS WILL CONTINUE
TO TRACK OFF TO THE EAST AND WE
ARE TRACKING A CRASH ON A
STRETCH OF NINETY
FOUR EASTBOUND. YOU CAN SEE
IT'S BLOCKING THAT LEFT LANE AT
ONE HUNDRED FIRST AVENUE
AND MAPLE GROVE, WESTBOUND LANES
STARTING TO PICK UP . I'LL BE
TAKING A LOOK AT SOME DRIVE
TIMES IN THAT AREA HERE COMING
UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
>> WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

>> SURVERY ME B11 A.M. CUYUNA
OBERMAIER CLAY COUNTY JAIL VIDEO
