NEWS AT FIVE STARTS NOW. SHE SAYS HER LIFE HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. GOD DIDN’T TAKE HIM
AWAY FROM ME. YOU DID. YOU TOOK
HIM AWAY FROM ME. HEARTBROKEN
MOTHER SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO THE
MAN WHO KILLED HER THREE YEAR
OLD LITTLE BOY. LITTLE CHRISTIAN
MILLER WAS IN A CAR WITH HIS
GODMOTHER WHEN DEREK DURHAM
OPENED FIRE ON THE SOUTHFIELD
FREEWAY IN A FIT OF ROAD RAGE
BEFORE THE JUDGE HANDED DOWN HER
SENTENCE IN THE CASE, HIS MOTHER
GOT A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN JUST HOW
MUCH HEARTACHE HE’S CAUSED.
PRIYA MANN WAS THERE. FOR AN
EMOTIONALLY CHARGED DAY IN
COURT. CHRISTIAN MILLER’S MOM
SAYS HER LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE
SAME AFTER HER CURIOUS LITTLE
BOY WHO LOVED SESAME STREET WAS
KILLED IN A SENSELESS FREEWAY
SHOOTING IN JANUARY OF 2019. SHE
WANTED THE COURT TO KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT SHE’S LOST, SHOWING HOME
VIDEOS OF HER BABY BOY. AND I
JUST. WANTED TO SHOW HOW MUCH HE
MEANT TO ME AND MY FAMILY THREE
YEARS AFTER A TODDLER WAS KILLED
IN A ROAD RAGE SHOOTING ON THE
METRO DETROIT FREEWAY,
CHRISTIAN’S MOTHER ADDRESSED THE
GUNMAN IN COURT VIA ZOOM REALLY
HURTED ME. MY LIFE IN UPSET DOWN
BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE BEEN
SAYING THAT THERAPIST BECAUSE OF
THIS. I DON’T KNOW IF I’M COMING
OR GOING PEOPLE WANT TO SAY, OH,
THINGS WAS MEANT FOR A REASON.
NO I DON’T BELIEVE THAT THREE
YEAR OLD CHRISTIAN MILLER WAS IN
HIS CAR SEAT IN THE BACK OF HIS
GODMOTHER’S SUV. WHEN HE WAS
SHOT AND KILLED. HE WAS SO
EXCITED TO GO TO SESAME STREET.
THAT’S WHAT’S KILLING ME BECAUSE
I WAS WAITING TO HEAR FROM HIM.
TO ASK THEM. HOW WAS IT FOR HIM
TO KNOW HE WAS GOING TO SEE BIG
BIRD AND ELMO AND COOKIE
MONSTER? AND IT’S LIKE. INSTEAD
OF GOING THERE, HE WENT TO GO
SEE THE LORD INSTEAD. MICHIGAN
STATE POLICE SAY DEREK DURHAM
FIRED AT THE VEHICLE IN
SOUTHFIELD FREEWAY AFTER THE
VICTIM’S GODMOTHER ALLEGEDLY CUT
HIM OFF AN EGREGIOUS CASE. NO
ONE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY.
BUT YOU CUT SOMEONE OFF OR NOT
SHOULD I WAS SHOT FIRED AT THEIR
CAR, AND THOSE VIDEOS SHOW A
BEAUTIFUL BOY INTELLIGENCE.
ACTIVE, VIVACIOUS. YEAH HE’S NO
LONGER HERE. GOD DIDN’T TAKE HIM
AWAY FROM ME. YOU DID. YOU TOOK
HIM AWAY FROM ME. SO NOW I HAVE
TO WHAT MOVES ON LIKE, NOTHING
HAPPENED. IT’S NOT FAIR. THIS
WAS THE THIRD TIME THE CASE WAS
TRIED. THE FIRST TRIAL ENDED IN
A HUNG JURY, THE SECOND WITH
JURY MISCONDUCT. DURHAM WAS
CONVICTED OF SEVERAL CHARGES,
INCLUDING SECOND DEGREE MURDER
AND SENTENCED TO 70 TO 100 YEARS
IN PRISON. FRANK MURPHY HALL OF
JUSTICE. I’M PRIYA MANN LOCAL 4.
DURHAM, BY THE WAY, DID NOT
SPEAK DURING THE HEARING. HE WAS
ALSO SENTENCED TO 30 TO 60 YEARS
FOR FIRING A WEAPON FROM THE
VEHICLE. DIFFICULT. WELL, THE
BATTLE AGAINST ILLEGAL DUMPERS
IS HEATING UP IN THE CITY OF
DETROIT, CHECK OUT THIS MESS
THAT WE GOT TIPPED OFF TWO ON
THE EAST SIDE. THE LEADER OF THE
BLOC CLUB SAID. IT POPPED UP ONE
DAY AND IT’S JUST KEPT GROWING
EVER SINCE SHAWN LEY WENT TO
CHECK IT OUT FOR US. AND HELP
GET THE CITY TO STEP IN AND
CLEAN IT UP. MEMBERS OF THE BLOC
CLUB HERE ON HAMBURG ASKED ME TO
HELP THEM GET SOME SPEED HUMPS
HERE TO HELP MAKE THEIR STREET
MORE SAFE SPEED HUMPS ARE HERE
AND NOW AS YOU CAN SEE, SO IS
ILLEGAL DUMPING. THEY’VE CALLED
BACK AND HERE’S HOW WE’RE
HELPING. WITH ALL THIS. THE
WEATHER IS PLEASANT HOMEOWNER,
ERROL BARROWS VIEW IS NOT I GOT
IT ON BOTH SIDES. LET ME SHOW
YOU TO HIS RIGHT. OF FORECLOSURE
AND THIS MASSIVE MESS. YES.
GREEN FOR LIFE WILL NOT PICK
THAT UP. THEY WILL NOT PICK UP
NOTHING LIKE THAT WHATSOEVER.
NOW TAKE A LOOK TO THE LEFT OF
HIS HOME A LOT. THE CITY IS
WORKING TO SPRUCE UP. BUT
INSTEAD OTHER NEIGHBORS TELL US
THAT THEY AGREED THAT THIS WAS A
CONVENIENT SPOT FOR THEM TO DUMP
AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OKAY.
IT’S NOT CLEANED OUT THE GARAGE
. HE CLEANED OUT EVERYTHING AND
HE DUMPED IT. ALL RIGHT THERE. I
TOLD HIM. I SAID YOU’RE GONNA
GET A TICKET. THE CITY IS GOING
TO FIND YOU AND HAVE YOU P I
DON’T CARE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE HEAD
OF THE CITY’S ENVIRONMENTAL
DEPARTMENT MET US OUT HERE
MOMENTS AGO. THEY’RE GOING TO
GET A TICKET. THAT PROPERTY IS
OWNED BY THE LAND BANK. THE CITY
HAS PAID TO DEMOLISH THAT
BUILDING. WE’RE GONNA WRITE THE
PICTURE OF THE PERSON THAT PUT
THAT DEBRIS THERE AS WELL AS
CHARGE THEM FOR THE COST OF
CLEANUP. ALWAYS CHEAPER TO DO
WHAT THE PROPER WAY. IF YOU HURT
HER, THEY’RE ALWAYS CHEAPER TO
DO IT THE PROPER WAY. WE’RE LIVE
NOW ON THE EAST SIDE AND LOOK
NEIGHBORS ON THIS SIDE. TELL ME
THEY WATCH THIS AREA VERY CLOSE
TO SAY THE OWNER HERE HE RENTS A
DUMPSTER FOR A SMALL FEE CALLS
THE CITY FOR BULK PICK UP AGAIN
FOR A SMALL FEE. BUT WHAT WE
JUST SHOWED YOU GUYS THAT IS
GOING TO COST $500 FOR EACH
CLEANUP, PLUS $1000 TICKETS FOR
EVERYONE WHO WAS DUMPING THERE,
AND THE CITY SAYS LOOK, THEY
TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE
IT IMPACTS PEOPLE. NEIGHBORS,
JUST LIKE MR BARROW THAT WE
SHOWED YOU THEIR HERE ON THE
EAST SIDE. WE’RE LIVE TONIGHT.
SHAWN LEY LOCAL 4 BACK TO
CHEAPER JUST TO DO IT THE RIGHT
WAY, SEAN, AND WE’RE SEEING MORE
OF IT AS WE COME OUT OF THE
PANDEMIC, AND ALSO AS THE
WEATHER WARMS UP, AS YOU SAID,
AND REMEMBER, YOU CAN REPORT
ANYBODY DOING A LEGAL DUMPING BY
CALLING THE IMPROVED DETROIT APP
SEAN, WE APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH.
SPEAKING OF THE WEATHER,
IMPROVING LET’S TAKE A LOOK. I
LOVE THIS SHOT. LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS FROM DRONE FOR LOOKING
DOWN AT DETROIT FROM THAT’S
RIGHT. RIVER. LOOKS LIKE A
FILTER. NO YES, WE’VE INSTAGRAM
BAR SHOT TODAY, AND IT’S JUST
GORGEOUS AND BEAUTIFUL DAY
TEMPERATURES INCHING CLOSER TO
THAT. LOVELY 80 DEGREE MARK. THE
SWEET SPOT REALLY IS NICE. WE
WANT TO GO TO ANDREW. THIS
WARMING TREND GOING TO CONTINUE
TO AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT THE
WORK WEEK. ANDREW, KIMBERLY AND
DEVON. ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY
BREATHTAKING, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY
GORGEOUS OUT THERE WITH A
BEAUTIFUL SHOT FROM DRONE FOUR.
AND YES, IT DOES CONTINUE FOR
THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK. 80
DEGREES RIGHT NOW FOR OUR
FRIENDS IN PONTIAC WHILE IT’S 80
OVER AT METRO AIRPORT, 82 IN
HELL. THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF
DOWNTOWN DETROIT FROM THE
VANTAGE POINT OF OUR SKY CAMP.
WATCHING SOME SEAGULLS GO BY.
TEMPERATURES ARE MOSTLY AROUND
80 DEGREES. WARM SUMMER LIKE AND
WE’RE LOOKING AT THAT CONTINUE
THROUGH THE REST OF THE EVENING
WENT DOWN THE SOUTHEAST THAT
AROUND 13 MPH. AND WE ARE RAINED
FREE ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION.
FARTHER TO OUR NORTH, THERE IS
SOME SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY. I SHOW YOU THIS AT
FOUR O’CLOCK THE SHOWERS OUT
HERE, WISCONSIN JUST NOW GETTING
STARTED. YOU CAN SEE A COUPLE OF
THUNDERSTORMS CELLS TO THE NORTH
AND WEST OF GREEN BAY. THESE
WILL BE INTENSIFYING AND
TRAVELING OVER LAKE MICHIGAN
LATER ON TONIGHT AND GETTING
CLOSER TO SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN,
BUT WE STAY RAIN FREE FOR YOUR
EVENING PLANS WITH TEMPS IN THE
SEVENTIES AND THEN SIXTIES BY
MIDNIGHT AFTERWARDS, THOSE
SHOWERS GET CLOSER. WE’LL TALK
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN
MINUTES. ART ANDREW WITH THE
SUPREME COURT, PERHAPS SET TO
STRIKE DOWN ROE VERSUS WADE.
SOME IN THE SENATE ARE STEPPING
INTO ACTION WITH A NEW BILL THAT
WOULD PROTECT FEDERALLY A
WOMAN’S RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO HAVE
AN ABORTION. IF THE BILL PASSED
, IT WOULD SET FEDERAL STANDARDS
FOR THE RIGHT TO AN ABORTION.
ROD MELONI SPOKE TO THE MICHIGAN
SENATOR BEHIND THIS BILL ROD.
THIS DOES NOT HAVE A BIG CHANCE
TO PASS WHEN THE VOTE HAPPENS
TOMORROW. NO IT SURE DOESN’T
LOOK LIKE THAT AT THIS POINT,
KIMBERLY, BUT, YEAH, IT’S ALL
ABOUT THE CODIFICATION OF ROE V.
WADE AND WHAT THEY’RE ATTEMPTING
TO DO. AT LEAST SENATE DEMOCRATS
ARE LOOKING TO DO AND WE SPOKE
TO GARY PETERS TODAY ABOUT HIS
PART IN ALL OF THIS. THE SUPREME
COURT ISN’T USUALLY ONE TO TAKE
AWAY RIGHTS. BUT IN THIS CASE,
IT MAY VERY WELL TAKE AWAY
RIGHTS AND IMPACT REPRODUCTIVE
FREEDOM FOR WOMEN. SENATOR CHUCK
SCHUMER LED THE DISCUSSION ON
THE SENATE FLOOR TODAY. BUT
PETERS TOOK HIS OWN PERSONAL
STORY THERE AS WELL AND BELIEVES
THE SUPREME COURT’S APPARENT
IMPENDING DECISION TO OVERTURN
ROE V. WADE NEEDS CONGRESSIONAL
RESPONSE. AND IF ROE VERSUS WADE
IS OVERTURNED, AND THE MICHIGAN
LAW IS IN A PLACE, WHICH DOES
NOT ALLOW FOR AN ABORTION UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, IT WOULD BE
ABSOLUTELY CATASTROPHIC FOR
FAMILIES THAT GO THROUGH
SITUATIONS LIKE WE DID IN THE
PAST. AND IT’S SIMPLY
UNACCEPTABLE EXCEPT THAT IS ONLY
HALF CORRECT. WHILE THE 1931
MICHIGAN LAW DOES OUTLAW
ABORTION, IT ALSO CONTAINS AN
EXCEPTION TO PRESERVE THE
MOTHER’S LIFE. AS FOR PETER’S
ASSERTION, THE COURT’S TAKING
AWAY RIGHTS MICHIGAN RIGHT TO
LIFE, LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR
GENEVIEVE MARTIN VEHEMENTLY
DISAGREES. I THINK IT’S EXACTLY
THE OPPOSITE THAT BY REMOVING
THE RESTRICTION ON STATES TO
PROTECT THE UNBORN CHILD LEGALLY
THAT A RIGHT TO LIFE IS ACTUALLY
BEING EXPANDED, CALLS THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY’S ATTEMPT TO
GET A VOTE TO CODIFY ROE V. WADE
THROUGH LEGISLATION, POLITICAL
THEATER AND THEY DON’T HAVE THE
VOTES. THEY KNOW THEY DON’T HAVE
THE VOTES AND YET THEY WANT TO
BE ABLE TO USE THIS NATIONAL
PLATFORM. TO CONTINUE TO PUSH.
IN MY OPINION, THE SUPREME COURT
TO CHANGE THEIR LEAKED DECISION
TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT IT
WAS. AND SO THEY WOULD HOPE TO
HAVE A VOTE TOMORROW. BUT AS SHE
SAID, IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THEY
HAVE THE VOTES. AND SO WE’LL
HAVE TO SEE WHERE ALL THIS ALL
GOES. I ASKED SENATOR PETERS
ABOUT THAT. AND HE SAID, LOOK,
IT’S IMPORTANT TO GET EVERYBODY
ON THE RECORD TO SEE WHERE THEY
STAND ON THIS AND THE RIGHT TO
LIFE, PEOPLE SAID. SHORT.
REPORTING LIVE. MALONEY WILL
CONTINUE TO FOLLOW IT, ROD, WE
APPRECIATE IT. MEANWHILE THE
MICHIGAN HOUSE AND SENATE VOTES
TO SEND A PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE
STATE’S TERM LIMITS TO THE
NOVEMBER BALLOT. A
CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION
APPROVED IN 1992 ALLOWS
LEGISLATORS TO SERVE NO MORE
THAN 14 YEARS WELL, THE NEW
PROPOSAL WOULD LET THEM SERVE UP
TO 12 YEARS ENTIRELY IN ONE
CHAMBER. STATE ELECTED OFFICIALS
WOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED TO
DISCLOSE THEIR PERSONAL
FINANCIAL INFORMATION STARTING
IN THE YEAR. 2020 FOR THE MATTER
WHERE YOU GO OR WHAT YOU BUY,
INFLATION IS PRETTY INESCAPABLE.
RIGHT NOW, YOU NEED TO LOOK NO
FURTHER THAN THE GAS STATION TO
SEE THAT GAS PRICES CONTINUE TO
TICK UP. WE TALKED ABOUT IT
YESTERDAY. WELL, THE AVERAGE NOW
WENT UP ANOTHER PENNY 4 30 FOR A
GALLON. A CENT MORE THAN IT WAS
YESTERDAY. AS PRICES RISE. THE
PRESIDENT IS OUTLINING STEPS TO
TRY TO STEM THE TIDE. JACKSON IN
WASHINGTON WITH MORE TONIGHT
VERY PRESIDENT BIDEN TOUTED HIS
ADMINISTRATION’S EFFORTS TO
TACKLE INFLATION WHILE DRAWING A
SHARP CONTRAST BETWEEN HIS PLAN
AND REPUBLICAN PROPOSALS. GAS
PRICES RISING BY THE DAY. LOOK
WHAT I JUST PUT $95 INSANE. I’VE
NEVER I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE THIS BEFORE THE NATIONAL
AVERAGE NOW AT A RECORD HIGH
$4.37 UP 17 CENTS FROM JUST A
WEEK AGO. PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS,
ADDRESSING INFLATION. IS HIS TOP
DOMESTIC PRIORITY, LAYING OUT
HIS PLAN TO LOWER COST AND
REDUCE THE FEDERAL DEFICIT BY
ASKING LARGE CORPORATIONS AND
THE WEALTHIEST AMERICANS. TO NOT
ENGAGE IN PRICE GOUGING AND TO
PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE IN TAXES.
THE PRESIDENT TAKING AIM AT HIS
CRITICS, REPUBLICANS HAD OFFERED
PLENTY OF BLAME, BUT NOT A
SINGLE SOLUTION TO ACTUALLY
BRING DOWN THE ENERGY PRICES.
REPUBLICANS FIRING BACK. BIDEN
GAVE A TALK THIS MORNING BLAMED
EVERYBODY ELSE ON INFLATION. HE
TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY AND HAS
NO PLAN, SAYING DEMOCRATS
POLICIES ARE WHAT’S HURTING
AMERICANS, POINTING TO A RECORD
HIGH 8.5% INFLATION. THEY TOOK
AN ECONOMY THAT WAS READY TO
SOAR. TURNED IT AROUND. AND
DROVE IT INTO THE GROUND.
THERE’S ALSO A NATIONWIDE BABY
FORMULA SHORTAGE DRIVEN LARGELY
BY SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS,
SOMETHING PRESIDENT BIDEN ALSO
HIGHLIGHTED AS CURRENT ECONOMIC
DOWNFALLS. WE’RE SEEING IT FROM
YOUR MOM AND POPS ALL THE WAY UP
TO OUR LARGE SUPERCENTERS,
PHARMACIES, EXPERTS WARNED THE
WAR IN UKRAINE AND RISING COVID
CASES COULD FURTHER ADD TO
ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. ON
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE LABOR
DEPARTMENT RELEASES ITS REPORT
ON APRIL CONSUMER PRICES AND ALL
EYES WILL BE ON THOSE LATEST
