WE’RE FINE RIGHT NOW. % -
WE’RE FINE RIGHT NOW.
WE’RE FINE INTO THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS.
YOU HAVE ERRANDS TO DO, YOU’RE

MIDNIGHT.
THE FREEZING RAIN, SNOW, SLEET,
DOESN’T START UNTIL LATE

ACROSS THE AREA.

GO TO THE APP STORE SEARCH UNDER
WDIV AND THE APP IS FREE.
>> PISTOLS AND A HOST OF
EXPLOSIVES PRESENTED, IN THE
TRIAL ACCUSED OF TRYING TO
KIDNAP GOVERNOR WHITMER.
>> A CLOSER LOOK AT THE WEAPONS
AND SEAN.
PROSECUTORS ARE TRYING TO PAINT
THIS AS AN ARSENAL OF WEAPONS.
>> IT TRULY IS AN ARSENAL BUT
ALSO DEFENSE ATTORNEYS,
KIMBERLY, QUICK TO POINT OUT,
IT’S LEGAL WEAPONS THAT WERE
DISCOVERED HERE.
WE DID CHECK WITH AREA GUN
STORES.
MOST DON’T CARRY THOSE TYPES OF
ITEMS.
YOU COULD PURCHASE THEM ON-LINE.
>> WHEN YOU LINE THEM ALL UP.
THEY SOUND LIKE SOMEONE, IS
AMASSING ARSENAL.
>> LEGAL ANALYST BREAKING DOWN
WHAT HE CALLS AN IMPORTANT STEP
IN THE WHITMER KIDNAPPING TRIAL.
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS SHOWING THE
JURY WHAT THE FBI FOUND IN THE
HOME OF ACCUSED RINGLEADER BARRY
CROFT, SELF PROCLAIMED.
AND GUN POWDER THAT REDUCES THE
AMOUNT OF SMOKE FROM GUNSHOTS.
CANISTERS OF EXPLODING TARGETS,
UNRESTRICTIVE EXPLOSIVES THAT
WHEN BLOWN UP WHEN SHOT.
CROFT HAD A SHOTGUN, OUTFITTED
WITH CUSTOM TUBES, THAT
PROSECUTED A SHOTGUN GLASS.
AND WHAT’S CALLED A MICRO
CONVERSION KIT MARKETED TO MAKE
A HANDGUN TO THE ULTIMATE
SUB-MACHINE GUN.
SHEET OF CODE WORDS, AND
MOVEMENT, THAT SUPPORTS ANOTHER
REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
DEFENSE ATTORNEYS POINTED TO THE
JURY, ALL OF THESE ITEMS ARE
LEGAL TO POSSESS.
ROCKHINE SAYS, IT’S A LOT FOR
THE JURY TO CONSIDER.
>> IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
CREATE IN THE JURY’S MIND THAT
SOMEONE WHO HAS ALL OF THAT IS
READY FOR WAR.
>> THE DANGER, THE INNUENDO
SUGGESTS, YOU WERE DOING
SOMETHING WRONG.
>> THERE’S A LOT MORE THAT
HAPPENED IN COURT, BESIDES WHAT
PRESENTED TO YOU TODAY MUCH AND
PROSECUTORS PUTTING OUT THREE
PUBLIC FACEBOOK POSTS WE’LL
SHARE TO YOU AT 6:00, THAT GOT
THE FBI INVESTIGATION INTO THE
KIDNAPPING BLOG THAT STARTED IN
THE FIRST CASE.
>> THE PROSECUTION IS GETTING
READY TO WRAP UP THE CASE?
>> RIGHT.
TODAY IS DAY 12.
THEY WILL START TOMORROW.
DAY 13, THE FEDERAL JUDGE
EXPECTS TO WRAP IT UP.
AND YOU HAVE FOUR DEFENDERS WITH
FOUR DIFFERENT LAWYERS THAT WILL
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT
THEIR SIDE.
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE
HOW THEY DEFEND GOING FORWARD.
>> SEAN, THANK YOU.
>>> HERE AT 5:00, THE SOUTHFIELD
FAMILY SAYS THEY ARE STUNNED
AFTER A 23-YEAR-OLD WAS CHARGED
WITH MURDERING HIS GRANDMOTHER.
>> FACES OPEN MURDER AND FEDERAL
CHARGES IN THE DEATH OF MARGARET
MACK.
SUSPECT’S FATHER IS IN THE
HOSPITAL, RIGHT?
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
DEVIN, KIM, HE’S BEEN
HOSPITALIZED WITH A SEVERE CASE
OF PNEUMONIA.
HIS MOM WAS WITH HIM FOR A FEW
DAYS LAST WEEK.
WHEN SHE DIDN’T CALL ON FRIDAY,
HE ASKED FAMILY MEMBERS TO CHECK
ON HER AND THEY HAD TO GIVE HER
THE HEARTBREAKING NEWS.
>> YOU HAVE TO TELL SOMEONE YOUR
MOTHER IS GONE AND YOUR OWN SON
DID IT.
HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND.
>> 73-YEAR-OLD, MARGARET MACK
WAS THE BELOVED MATRIARCH OF THE
BELOVED FAMILY.
>> SHE JUST DIDN’T DESERVE THIS.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT
>> HER ELDEST SON HAD TO STEP
AWAY.
THE GRIEF OF LOSING HIS MOM
ALLEGEDLY AT THE HANDS OF HIS
OWN NEPHEW WAS TOO MUCH TO BARE.
>> SHE NEVER HAD DISAGREEMENTS
AND ARGUMENTS WITH HIM OR ANY OF
HER GRANDCHILDREN.
>> LAST THURSDAY, POLICE SAY
JUAN MATT CALLED 911, SAYING AN
ELDERLY WOMAN WAS HAVING TROUBLE
BREATHING.
WHEN THEY GOT TO THE LEGACY
PLACE APARTMENTS, THEY
DISCOVERED THE VICTIM WAS SHOT
MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE ROOM.
MACK GAVE CONFLICTING
INFORMATION, AT FIRST SAYING HE
WAS A FAMILY FRIEND.
THE 23-YEAR-OLD IS NOW CHARGED
WITH SHOOTING HIS GRANDMOTHER TO
DEATH.
>> A 23-YEAR-OLD, WITH ONLY AN
ELDERLY, BUT THEIR OWN
GRANDPARENT, WHO THIS FAMILY
DESCRIBED AS A LOVING
GRANDMOTHER WHO PRETTY MUCH HAS
DONE EVERYTHING A GREAT
GRANDMOTHER COULD DO FOR THEM.
>> AND THE DETECTIVES FOUND THE
WEAPON THEY BELIEVE WAS USED IN
THE MURDER HIDDEN UNDER NETH A
COUCH CUSHION.
>> IF ANYONE KNOWS THE FAMILY
AND DEFINITELY KNOWS THEIR SON,
JUST STAND AROUND THEM DURING
THIS TIME AND THEY NEED THE
SUPPORT.
>> AND THEY ARE JUST ABSOLUTELY
HEARTBROKEN.
THE BIG QUESTION WHY?
WHY WOULD YOU KILL SOMEONE WHO
SPENT THEIR ENTIRE LIFE TRYING
TO HELP YOU ANY WAY THEY COULD.
POLICE SAY THEY ARE COOPERATING,
NOT ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS.
THEY DON’T HAVE A MOTIVE.
HE WILL BE BACK IN COURT NEXT
MONTH.
REPORTING LIVE.
>> THE GUN DIDN’T BELONG TO HIM?
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
THE POLICE IN THE INVESTIGATION
DISCOVERED THE GUN WAS REPORTED
STOLEN IN 2018.
THEY BELIEVE THAT’S THE WEAPON
USED IN THE SENSELESS MURDER.
>> ALL RIGHT, PREIA.
>>> A BIG STEP TO PROTECT THE
ONE MOST VULNERABLE FROM
COVID-19.
>> THE AGENCY’S DECISION WILL
ALLOW A FOURTH DOSE OF PFIZER OR
MODERNA VACCINES TO PEOPLE AT
LEAST 4 MONTHS AFTER THEIR
PREVIOUS BOOSTER.
UNTIL NOW, THE FDA CLEARED 4TH
DOSES FOR PEOPLE 12 AND OVER WHO
HAVE SEVERELY WEAKENED IMMUNE
SYSTEMS.
AND THE FDA RULED WITHOUT INPUT
FROM THE ADVISERS.
FRANK, ALTHOUGH THE SECOND
BOOSTER HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED.
DOES IT MEAN, IT’S BEEN
RECOMMENDED TO THE PEOPLE THAT
IT’S BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR?
>> IMPORTANT DISTINCTION, KIM.
IT’S ACTUALLY THE CDC THAT WILL
ISSUE THE RECOMMENDATION.
REGARDLESS WHAT THEY RECOMMEND,
BASED ON THE DATA I’VE SEEN, THE
ONLY GROUPS WHO ARE MOST LIKELY
TO BENEFIT FROM THE SECOND
BOOSTER SO SOON, AFTER THE
FIRST, ARE REALLY THE IMMUNO
COMPROMISED IN THE ELDERLY,
ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE ANY
UNDERLYING HEALTH PROBLEMS.
>> AND EVEN IF YOU’RE AUTHORIZED
TO GET ANOTHER BOOSTER, YOU MAY
HOLD OFF?
>> WELL, OF COURSE, I’LL BE
INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THE CDC’S
RECOMMENDATIONS ACTUALLY ARE AND
THE DATA THEY ARE USING TO
SUPPORT IT.
MY TAKE, IT’S REALLY NOT A
SIMPLE ONE SIZE FITS ALL
RECOMMENDATION, LIKE THE
ORIGINAL VACCINE IN THE FIRST
BOOSTER.
PEOPLE NEED TO CONSIDER THEIR
OWN RISK.
A 70-YEAR-OLD HYPERTENSIVE
DIABETIC IS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE
THAN A 51-YEAR-OLD.
THE LARGER THING TO CONSIDER, A
NEW VARIANT COULD SHOW UP
ANYTIME.
IF THAT HAPPENS, EVERYONE’S RISK
CALCULATIONS WILL HAVE TO
CHANGE.
>> DR. McGEORGE, WE APPRECIATE
YOU KEEPING US POSTED.
>> PRESIDENT BIDEN, TALKING
ABOUT THE NEXT STEPS NEEDED TO
PUNISH RUSSIA AND HELP UKRAINE.
THAT AS UKRAINE IS MAKING
HEADWAY IN THE BATTLE FIELD
AGAIN AND THERE MAY BE PROGRESS
IN THE PEACE TALKS BEING HELD IN
TURKEY.
THE FIRST TIME THE RUSSIAN AND
UKRAINIAN DELEGATIONS HAVE MET
IN THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS.
>>> TODAY’S PEACE TALKS ARE
OFFERING REAL SIGNS OF CONCRETE
PROGRESS.
WHILE THE WHITE HOUSE IS TEMPER
ING OPTIMISM.
>> TENTATIVE HOPES OUT OF PEACE
TALKS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE
AS THE TWO SIDES MET IN TURKEY.
TO INCREASE TRUST, THEY WILL
DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE MILITARY
PRESENCE, NEAR THE CAPITOL OF
KIEV.
RUSSIAN FORCES HAVE ALREADY BEEN
LOSING GROUND.
AS ATTACKS CONTINUE, PRESIDENT
BIDEN URGING CAUTION.
>> WE’LL SEE.
I DON’T READ ANYTHING INTO IT
UNTIL I SEE WHAT THEIR ACTIONS
ARE.
WE’LL SEE IF THEY FOLLOW THROUGH
WHAT THEY ARE SUGGESTING.
>> THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT
SAYING, IT HAS SEEN SMALL
NUMBERS OF RUSSIAN TROOPS MOVING
AWAY FROM KIEV.
>> WE BELIEVE THIS IS A
REPOSITIONING, NOT A REAL
WITHDRAWAL.
>> EARLIER TODAY, THE PRESIDENT
SPOKE TO TOP EUROPEAN ALLIES.
VOWING TO STAND FIRM UNTIL
RUSSIAN AGGRESSION ENDS.
UKRAINE’S PRESIDENT SAYS, HE’S
OPEN TO DECLARING HIS COUNTRY
NEUTRAL, ENDING A BID TO END THE
NATO ALLIANCE
HE WANTS A NEW OR STRONGER
SECURITY FRAMEWORK TO GUARANTEE
WESTERN PROTECTION, IF RUSSIA
ATTACKS AGAIN.
>> THEY WANT A SECURITY
GUARANTEE LIKE NATO ALLIES.
ATTACK ON ONE, ATTACK ON ALL.
>> UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS, MAKING
THEIR BOUNDARIES CLEAR.
>> WE NEVER GO FOR ANY
COMPROMISE CONCERNING OUR
INDEPENDENCE, CONCERNING OUR
SOVEREIGNTY AND INTEGRITY.
>> SIGNS OF HOPE TO A PATHWAY TO
PEACE, WITH SIGNIFICANT HURDLES
ALONG THE WAY.
TWO SIDES APPEAR TO BE MOVING
CLOSER TO AN INPERSON MEETING
BETWEEN THE PRESIDENTS OF
RUSSIAND A UKRAINE.
THAT SEEN AS CRITICAL AS
NEGOTIATORS REPEATEDLY MADE
CLEAR PRESIDENT PUTIN WILL HAVE
THE FINAL SAY.
IN WASHINGTON, ALICE BARR, LOCAL
4.
>> POLAND’S GOVERNMENT HAS
DECIDED TO BLOCK, COAL IN RUSSIA
