DETROIT FOR NEWS AT SIX STARTS NOW. AT SIX. A JUDGE RULES WHO SHOULD BE ALLOWED UPDATES FROM
COURT RELATED TO THE OXFORD HIGH
SCHOOL SHOOTING SHOOT
INFORMATION COMING OUT OF COURT
BE LIMITED TO CERTAIN VICTIMS OF
THE SHOOTING AND WHAT DEFINES
THE VICTIM ATTORNEYS FOR THE
PARENTS OF THE ACCUSED IN THE
CASE WERE HOPING A JUDGE WOULD
LIMIT SHARING INFORMATION. ONLY
THE FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN DIED
IN THE SHOOTING THAT LEFT OTHER
FAMILIES OUTRAGED. KAREN’S
FOLLOWING THESE MAJOR
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CASE TODAY.
JUDGE WAS SUPPOSED TO HOLD A
HEARING ON THIS TOMORROW MORNING
AND THEN DECIDE ON WHAT
CONSTITUTES A VICTIM. WELL,
THINGS STARTED TO CHANGE AFTER
WE STARTED TEASING THE FACT THAT
WE WERE ACTUALLY DIGGING INTO
THIS STORY WORD SPREAD. AND THEN
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE JUDGE
CANCELED THAT HEARING THEN LATE
THIS AFTERNOON ISSUED A DECISION
IN THE CASE, WHICH SOME ARE
CALLING A VICTORY FOR ALL
VICTIMS. GRANTED IN PART DENIED
. IN PART, THAT’S THE JUDGE’S
DECISION WHETHER TO RESTRICT
PRETRIAL STATEMENTS BY THE
PROSECUTION FOR THESE OXFORD
PARENTS, TODAY’S RULING IS A
VICTORY THEY CAN KEEP BEING
INFORMED ABOUT COURT
DEVELOPMENTS STILL LIVE. WITH A
LIFE THAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF
WHAT HAPPENED. BROADER HAS A
SOPHOMORE AT OXFORD HIGH, WHILE
TAYLOR WAS NOT PHYSICALLY
INJURED IN THE SCHOOL SHOOTING,
HER MOM STILL CONSIDERS HER A
VICTIM. WE LEAVE THE HOUSE IN
OHANA SHIRT OR EARRINGS THAT ARE
IN REMEMBRANCE OF THESE CHILDREN
. MOTION RECENTLY FILED ON
BEHALF OF JENNIFER AND JAMES
CRUMBLEY, THE ACCUSED SHOOTER’S
PARENTS. THEIR DEFENSE TEAM IS
ASKING THE COURT TO LIMIT
INFORMATION TO THE VICTIMS. IN
THIS SPECIFIC CASE, INFERRING
THE 1800, OXFORD PARENTS AND
STUDENTS ON THE EMAIL UPDATE
LIST ARE NOT VICTIMS WHEN YOU
HEARD THIS PUSH TO LIMIT
INFORMATION TO ALL OF THESE
FAMILIES. WHAT DID YOU THINK I
WAS OFFENDED BY THAT? I THINK
ANY STUDENT AND TEACHER WHO WAS
IN THAT BUILDING AS THE VICTIM
SO TO LIMIT THE INFORMATION TO
THOSE PEOPLE. IT KIND OF SENDS
THE MESSAGE THAT YOU DON’T COUNT
. UM AND THAT THEIR TRAUMA ISN’T
ISN’T REAL AND IT IS VERY REAL
FOR THEM. ANDREA JONES. SON
GRIFFIN IS A SENIOR, SHE SAYS HE
STRUGGLES EVERY DAY SINCE THE
SHOOTING. COULD YOU GO INTO THE
SAME BUILDING EVERY DAY AND NOT
THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED THERE
IN TODAY’S DECISION, JUDGE
CHERYL MATTHEWS STATES, THOUGH
THE COURT DOES NOT KNOW THE
EXACT NUMBER OF VICTIMS IN THIS
CASE, THE COURT AGREES WITH THE
PROSECUTION THAT THERE ARE
CERTAINLY FAR MORE THAN FOUR.
THE JUDGE WENT ON TO STATE. THE
COURT IS HOPEFUL THAT THE
PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE CAN EMPLOY A
MORE SURGICAL RESPONSE IN THE
FUTURE. REFERENCING MASS
COMMUNICATION IS NOT ALWAYS
NEEDED, OXFORD PARENT LAURIE
BURGO SAYS SHE’S RELIEVED WITH
TODAY’S DECISION THEY COULD
UNDERSTAND IF THERE WERE
QUESTIONABLE THINGS BEING TOLD
TO US, BUT HONESTLY, THE EMAILS
WE’VE GOTTEN ARE VERY BASIC. IT
SEEMS AS THOUGH THEIR PROBLEM IS
THAT THAT’S BEING SHARED. IT’S
AMAZING HOW MUCH YOU DON’T THINK
IT’S PART OF YOU UNTIL EVERY DAY
GOES BY. AND TO BE TOLD THAT
WE’RE NOT VICTIMS ISN’T ISN’T
TRUE. I’VE BEEN TALKING AND
TEXTING WITH SOME OF THOSE
OXFORD PARENTS THIS AFTERNOON,
AND THEY SAY THEY’RE RELIEVED AS
THEY SAY THOSE UPDATES FROM
COURT SOMETIMES HELP THEM
EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHAT’S GOING ON.
AND WHAT PERHAPS COULD HAPPEN
NEXT. IT GIVES THEM A LITTLE BIT
OF COMFORT AS BELIEVE IT OR NOT
THE APPROACH THE ONE YEAR
ANNIVERSARY OF THE SHOOTING,
THAT’S REALLY YEAH, THAT IS HARD
TO BELIEVE. STILL I GUESS IT
COULD BE ARGUED THAT THE COURT
HAS A DUTY HERE TO LIMIT
PRETRIAL PUBLICITY. IN THE NAME
OF A FAIR TRIAL, RIGHT AND IT IS
VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE RIGHT INFORMATION IS COMING
OUT. THE COURT DID CRITICIZE THE
OAKLAND COUNTY PROSECUTOR’S
OFFICE FOR AN EMAIL THAT DID
SHARE SOME UNNECESSARY
EXTRAJUDICIAL STATEMENTS THAT
DISPARAGED THE DEFENDANTS. AS WE
KNOW THERE’S A GAG ORDER IN
PLACE AS WELL. BUT REALLY, THE
BIG NEWS TODAY IS THAT THERE IS
NO LIMIT ON VICTIMS. THERE’S SO
MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN
AFFECTED BY THIS AND THEY JUST
WANT THE INFORMATION. ALRIGHT
ALRIGHT, LET’S GET A QUICK CHECK
OF THE WEATHER HERE. IT HAS BEEN
A COLD, WET DAY ACROSS. AFTER
DETROIT WORN WEATHER
METEOROLOGIST KIM ADAMS JOINS US
WITH A LOOK AT THE FORECAST. KIM
BUT KIMBERLY AND DEVIN ANOTHER
DAY WITH THE RAIN AND ALSO WIND
AND COLD TEMPERATURES, WE WILL
HAVE 24 MORE HOURS OF THIS AND
THEN A NICE CHANGE THAT I THINK
YOU’RE GOING TO LIKE, BUT LET’S
ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT HERE ON
WAYNE COUNTY, HAMTRAMCK. ALSO
GROSSE POINTE, DEARBORN, MELVIN
DALE LINCOLN PARK ALL GETTING
SHOWERS AT THIS HOUR. THIS WILL
CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. TONIGHT
WE’LL HAVE A LITTLE FURTHER TO
THE WEST PLYMOUTH NORTHVILLE
ALSO GETTING IN ON THIS RAIN,
NOT JUST THE RAIN, BUT IT’S A
COLD RAIN. 39 IS THE CURRENT
TEMPERATURE IN PONTIAC 40 AND
MILK, LEMON. IS 30 19 ANN ARBOR.
BUT THAT DOESN’T TELL THE STORY
. WE’VE HAD WINDS GUSTING 30 35
MPH. SO WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT
WINDCHILLS. THIS IS WHAT IT
ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE OUTSIDE
RIGHT NOW. 29 DEGREES ADD TO IT
A LITTLE RAIN AND IT IS
CERTAINLY NOT A PLEASANT
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HERE 32 AT
METRO AIRPORT. 30 IS THE CURRENT
WINDCHILL IN ANN ARBOR. TOMORROW
ONE MORE DAY OF THIS WILL HAVE A
LITTLE RAIN, PERHAPS MIXED WITH
A LITTLE SNOW OVERNIGHT TONIGHT
AND THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF
TOMORROW, THEN AT FOUR O’CLOCK,
IT WILL CHANGE OVER TO JUST RAIN
WITH 45 DEGREES BEING OUR
DAYTIME HIGH, BUT I WANT TO GIVE
YOU A QUICK PEEK. AT THE
TEMPERATURE TREND OVER THE NEXT
SEVEN DAYS. I THINK YOU’RE GOING
TO LIKE THE WEEKEND FORECAST.
I’LL HAVE IT FOR YOU COMING UP
IN JUST A LITTLE BIT OF
CONTROVERSY THAT CONTINUES IN
WARREN TONIGHT $75 MILLION
INCINERATOR EXPANSION IS THE
TOPIC OF DEBATE FOR CITY LEADERS
IT’S CAUSING DIVISION BETWEEN
CITY ADMINISTRATORS AND CITY
COUNCIL MEMBERS. VICTOR WILLIAMS
WAS ABLE TO SPEAK TO BOTH SIDES
AND HAS MORE ON THIS TOPIC THAT
HAS THE CITY SPLIT. THIS IS THE
CURRENT INCINERATOR THAT WAS
INSTALLED BACK IN 1971, AND AS
YOU CAN SEE, IT’S STILL BEING
PUT TO GOOD USE. BUT NOW THERE
SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF
COMPLEX BETWEEN ADMINISTRATION
AS WELL AS CITY COUNCIL ON HOW
THEY’RE GOING TO BREAK DOWN
FOREVER. CHEMICALS MOVING OVER.
IT’S CALLED THE BIO CANYONRES,
BECAUSE REALLY WHAT IT IS. IT’S
A DRYING PROCESS WITH AN
INCINERATOR ON THE BACK END,
WARREN CITY ADMINISTRATORS ARE
GOING HEAD TO HEAD WITH CITY
COUNCIL OVER THEIR PLAN TO
PROCESS SLUDGE AND WASTEWATER.
WARREN WATER RECOVERY FACILITY
SUPERINTENDENT BRIAN CHLOR,
ALONG WITH OTHER ADMINISTRATORS
WOULD LIKE TO UPGRADE THE
CURRENT INCINERATOR WITH NEW
TECHNOLOGY, ADDING THE ABILITY
TO GET RID OF DANGEROUS
CHEMICALS LIKE PDFS AND A
GREENER WAY THE MATERIAL INSIDE
OF IT GETS TO SUCH A CERTAIN
DRYNESS THAT IT NATURALLY
COMBUSTS WHEN IT NATURALLY
COMBUST WE GO THROUGH AND WE
CAPTURE THAT HEAT BACK OFF OF
IT. WHICH REDUCES THE DRYING,
CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT PATRICK
GREENE SAYS THAT’S NOT AT ALL
GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT FROM
THE STATES. UH, ENVIRONMENTAL
DEPARTMENT EAGLE. YOU KNOW, IT
OUTLINED SEVERAL SERIOUS
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND
HEALTH CONCERNS RELATED TO THE
PROJECT. WE’RE GONNA CUT OUR
NATURAL GAS USAGE BY 95. WE’RE
GOING TO CUT OUR CARBON
EMISSIONS BY 90% COUNCIL
MEMBERS, ON THE OTHER HAND,
WOULD LIKE TO SEE DRIED SLUDGE
IN THE GROUND TO BE USED AS
FERTILIZER AND A PROCESS CALLED
LAND APPLICATION OF BIOSOLIDS.
BUT CHLOR BELIEVES THAT’S NOT A
GOOD IDEA. LAND APPLICATION OF
BIOSOLIDS IS A THING OF THE PAST
, AND IT’S ACTUALLY A DANGER
PASSED MEETING, COUNCIL MEMBERS
HALTED THE PROJECT IN A FIVE TO
VOTE. BUT THE ACTION WAS VETOED
BY WARREN MAYOR JIM FOUND.
COUNCIL MEMBERS ALSO AREN’T
HAPPY WITH THE FACT THAT THE
PUBLIC WASN’T DIRECTLY INVITED
TO DISCUSS THE MATTER. THE
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE, UM, WAS
BURIED ON A 200 ON PAGE 2 51 OF
THE 254 PAGE PROJECT PLAN. IT
WAS POSTED PER THE SRF
GUIDELINES THE WAY IT HAD TO BE
POSTED. AND MORE THAN LIKELY
THIS IS NOT THE LAST THAT WE’RE
GOING TO HEAR ABOUT. THIS
MATTERS, OF COURSE, WILL STAY ON
TOP OF IT. VICTOR WILLIAMS,
LOCAL 4 VICTOR, THANKS, POLICE
IN CENTER LINE ARE LOOKING
THROUGH EVER SPRAY PAINTED
RACIST AND HOMOPHOBIC MESSAGES
ON PRIVATE AND CITY PROPERTY.
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE
TODAY ALONG THE FENCING ON THE I
6 96 SERVICE DRIVE. POLICE SAY
SOMEONE DEFACED THE PRIVATE
FENCES OF AT LEAST THREE HOMES,
ALONG WITH THE CITY’S SOUND
BARRIER WALL ALONG THE FREEWAY.
THEY USE BLACK AND ORANGE SPRAY
PAINT TO WRITE RACIST,
HOMOPHOBIC MESSAGES. ALONG WITH
AN APPROPRIATE SYMBOLS. THE CITY
IS PAINTING OVER THE GRAFFITI
PROMISING TO PROSECUTE WHOEVER
PAINTED IT. RIGHT NOW TO THE
LATEST CORONAVIRUS NUMBERS AND A
SLIGHT DECREASE FOR THE WEAK
STATE REPORTS 12,414 NEW CASES
OF THE VIRUS OVER THE PAST SEVEN
DAYS. THAT’S ABOUT 1700 CASES
PER DAY. AND IT’S ABOUT 131
CASES FEWER THAN LAST WEEK. THE
STATE ALSO REPORTS 175 NEW
DEATHS OVER THAT SAME TIME
PERIOD. WELL, STUDIES HAVE FOUND
THAT THE USE OF CERTAIN HAIR
PRODUCTS HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED
WITH BREAST AND OVARIAN CANCERS
. NOW A NEWLY RELEASED STUDY HAS
IDENTIFIED A SIGNIFICANT
ASSOCIATION BETWEEN A SPECIFIC
TIME. TYPES OF HAIR PRODUCTS AND
A DIFFERENT CANCER. DR FRANK
MCGEORGE HERE WITH WHAT YOU NEED
TO KNOW, DOC. DOCUMENT EVIDENCE
CONCERNING YOU KNOW, HAIR
PRODUCTS USED IS ASSOCIATED WITH
INCREASED EXPOSURE TO ENDOCRINE
DISRUPTING CHEMICALS. THOSE ARE
CHEMICALS THAT ALTER THE BALANCE
BETWEEN ESTROGEN AND
PROGESTERONE IN THE BODY. NOW
SOME HAIR PRODUCTS ALSO EXPOSED
THE USERS TO CHEMICALS LIKE
FORMALDEHYDE AND OTHER PROBABLE
CARCINOGENS. AND NOW THE FOCUS
IS ESPECIALLY ON HAIR
STRAIGHTENER. A NEW STUDY
PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF THE
NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE THAT
FOLLOWED NEARLY 34,000 WOMEN
OVER MORE THAN 10 YEARS FOUND
HAIR. STREET OWNERS WERE
SPECIFICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH AN
INCREASED RISK OF DEVELOPING
UTERINE CANCER. IN THE STUDY,
WOMEN WERE ASKED HOW OFTEN IF
EVER, THEY USED HAIR PRODUCTS.
THESE INCLUDED PERMANENT DYES,
SEMI PERMANENT DYES, BLEACHES
HIGHLIGHTS AND STRAIGHT NERS. IT
TURNS OUT THAT ONLY WOMEN WHO
REPORTED EVER USING HAIR
STRAIGHTENER IS IN THE PAST, 12.
MONTHS HAD A HIGHER RISK OF
UTERINE CANCER. WOMEN WHO
REPORTED EVER USING HAIR
STRAIGHTENER IS HEADING 80%
HIGHER RISK OF UTERINE CANCER
AND FOR WOMEN WHO REPORTED
FREQUENT USE DEFINED AS MORE
THAN FOUR TIMES PER YEAR. THE
RISK WAS MORE THAN 2.5. TIMES
HIGHER NOW. ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK
AT IT IS THE AVERAGE RISK OF
DEVELOPING UTERINE CANCER BY
AGE. 70 IS ABOUT 1.6% BUT IT
JUMPS TO 4% FOR THOSE WHO
FREQUENTLY USE HAIR STRAIGHTENER
IS DATA SHOWS BLACK. WOMEN MAY
BE AT MORE RISK BECAUSE THEY
START USING THESE PRODUCTS AT A
YOUNGER AGE. GENERALLY USE MORE
OF THE PRODUCTS AND OFTEN USE
HARSHER CHEMICAL FORMULATIONS.
NOW THIS IS JUST ADDING TO A
GROWING BODY OF INFORMATION ON
THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF HAIR
CARE PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY AS
THEY ARE MARKETED TO WOMEN OF
COLOR. PREVIOUS STUDIES HAVE
ALSO LINKED, UM SHOW ARE
SUGGESTED LINKS RATHER TO LOWER
SEX, STEROID LEVELS, UTERINE
FIBROIDS AND AN EARLIER MONARCHY
, WHICH IS THE AGE WHEN THE
MENSTRUAL CYCLE USUALLY BEGINS,
SO THERE ARE A LOT OF
POTENTIALLY DISRUPTIVE ISSUES
WITH THESE HAIR CARE PRODUCTS,
WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT THE
STUDY IN RESEARCH SAID ABOUT
AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN IN
PARTICULAR, BECAUSE I STARTED
READING MY HAIR. MAYBE WHEN I
WAS IN SIXTH GRADE RIGHT AROUND
THAT TIME, YOU KNOW, AND IT’S
HARMFUL, HARMFUL CHEMICALS THAT
BURN AND YOU HAVE TO THINK THAT
THEY’RE GETTING IN YOUR SKIN IS
AND THAT’S HOW THEY GET INTO THE
SYSTEM. APPARENTLY WELL, THAT IS
ACTUALLY PARTIALLY TRUE. BUT IN
POINT OF FACT, YOU KNOW, UM,
WOMEN MORE OFTEN YOU ALSO USE
THINGS LIKE FLAT IRONS OR
CURLERS OR A BLOW DRYER WITH
HEAT. WHEN THESE CHEMICALS ARE
ACTUALLY HEATED, IT CHANGES
THEM, AND IT MAKES THEM MORE
EASILY ABSORBED. ALSO, OF
COURSE, YOU DID MENTION SKIN
CONTACT, BUT THINK ABOUT IT IF
THE SCALP IS BURNED, EITHER
PHYSICALLY OR CHEMICALLY, THAT
WILL ALSO INCREASE THE
ABSORPTION RATE. SO THERE ARE A
LOT OF OTHER REASONS THAT THESE
CHEMICALS MIGHT BE GETTING INTO
THE BODY MORE EASILY THAN JUST
ORDINARY SKIN OR SCALP. THE
CHEMICAL YOU PUT ON MAY NOT BE
THE ONE THAT IT IS THERE AFTER
YOU’VE HEATED IT EXACTLY. YES SO
MUCH. THIS JUST SCRATCHES THE
SURFACE, BUT IS A REALLY GREAT
