New documentary calls perspective, Michael Browns family asking questions what led up to the 18 year olds death back in 2014. Correspondent hena daniels shows us newlyreleased video. Fruit is pulled from the perspective of Michael Browns family. His mother joined the cast and crew on the red carpet of the southwest festival in austin yesterday. I was surprised to hear that two years later there was an individual yes. The film maker claims newly uncovered Surveillance Footage from the Early Morning before Michael Browns death proved brown did not steel from the Convenience Store he was accused of robbing before the fatal encounter with officer darren wilson. It was a miss understanding. The video appears to show brown hand the clerk an item that looks like a small bag. And the clerk handed brown a shopping bag filled with significant a restos. The 18 year old walked toward the door, then hand the bag back to the clerk before leaving. The director spoke with cbs this morning, he said brown trade add bag of marijuana for the items. He didnt take anything from the store. And for the store to claim that he took something and then was asked for it back, why on earth would the clerk give him something, put it in a bag, and then realize oh, by the way, give me that bag back . Lawyer for the Convenience Store says the documentary doesnt say fruit for fact. The notion somehow he had paid for them put them aside and was going to come back in the morning is just kind of a silly theory. Claims pollock removed part of the video that shows the clerk demanding he pay for the cidarillos.

I know a lot of other people it, as well, so my advice is make sure anything thats loose is secured, that you put it away before the storm hits you later tonight. Bethlehem, just one of those spots that will get hit you have ally hard with this impending snowstorm. I think youre looking at least a foot, at least a foot of knows in this area. You can see right now from fridays snow, still little left over on the grassy surfaces at this point. But, yes. Penndot will have their handful. As are all of the others looking ahead to tomorrow. So check in briefly with the eyewitness weather watchers, all reporting very cold air for one thing. But it is calm outside. Lets take a look, 16, very, very chilly start to the morning in mullica hill. Nice clear moonlit sky. Virtually no wind thankfully, report waiting is the hardest part, one of those weather geeks, looking forward to the upcoming storm. Ballmer up in essington, dave bradley reporting nice sky. Chilly certainly but clear as can be, he too excited for the snow, the general theme with all of the watches. Thirteen from eileen this morning, also nice clear sky. Also virtually no wind. And you mention that as well, yes, want to enjoy and prepare for the weather, because it will definitely not last. Here is the reason why, of course, storm system starting to ballet cross, the midwest, and, also a secondary piece of low pressure thats going to again sort of merge, just combine and intensify over our area. But we are going to ends up specially out near the shore point, up to new york sit way full on blizzards, but regardless, big storm system here. With the storm warning take effect as of 8 00 p. M. Now important to note. This is a model. This is the european model. But this is a pretty decent interpretation of timing, and also, what we can expect out of this. The bulls eye clearly goes up into upstate new york, pocono region, but thats where you are talking, 18 inches, plus, worth of snow. Dow think though you will see again at least a foot. Here is your 12 to 18inch look there. And again, you know, even here, we can see up to foot worth of accumulating snow. This storm is no joke. Also worth a mention, the wind, you will have high wind warning in these counties shaded in the cold for sussex, peaking as high oohs 50 if not 06 Miles Per Hour. That will could bring down power lines. Meantime, tomorrow is the time through the first half of the day specially when the heaviest snow will fall, and the windy conditions will persist. Meisha . Yikes. Kate, all right. Thank you so much. So, tomorrow is going to be very busy, it sound like, basically anywhere that you are, and also, starting very early in the morning. So, look at the schuylkill right now at city avenue. Everything today, this morning, looking calm. We do have couple of accident out therement some of which have moved out of our way, some which still out there, not causing many slow downs. Looking okay, the boulevard, leading up to the schuylkill, moving in the southbound direction, what you are working with out there. Not too bad. Although i will say that being said, you are starting to heat up ever so slightly on the boulevard. Everyone still traveling at posted speeds, but you wont be once we crack into the 6 00. Then we are dealing with some construction, 59 south, between route 579 and scutters falls bridge, right lane blocked. Thats going to be blocked all the way until 2 00 p. M. Jim, over to you. Thanks.
