Everybodys up. And that by itself on its own kind of reduces the risk of people are up and awake. Nefrs theres going to be a strong line of storms heading our way. The trailing cold front will pass by by midday around the bay area then move to the south. I think a lot of the energy that will be producing tornados will stay north of us. In fact the outerbanks of North Carolina will probably have a higher risk of tornados up there than well have here. But i still think well have strong storms. This is the line that has produced, you know, damaging tornados in pensacola. Sections of iten have been closed tonight because of tornado damage. And now theyre getting close to panama city. Pensacola. And these individual cells which move onshore, these will have to be watched for tornado development.

You know Denise Halliwell may never fully have her life bank but she is anxious to clear her name. This is a story of the Justice System relying on evidence and witnesses and ultimately finding an accused woman to be without blame. Its what she has been trying to prove from the very beginning. The situations are not always what they seem. Reporter denises life has been in limbo.

Her youngest of two adoptive sons was missing. Deputies found the 12yearold hiding in a neighbors head. Begins to tell them how he didnt eat. He is accused by his mother. He is locked in his room for hours on end. These things are patently false. Reporter but deputies arrested her calling it one of the worst cases of child abuse theyve seen in a very long time. At face value it sounded awful. Both her children were taken. She lost her job as a teacher. All the while trying to explain her son suffers from behavioral and anger issues. Sometimes a lock was the only thing keeping him from running away. He is troubled. I have logged three years worth as trying to manage this and take hoet notes. Way. That was also ignored. Reporter the a accusing child was placed in foster care but soon came reports of violent out yourself outbursts. That high struck the Foster Parent and threatened to accuses him of child abuse. Based on his willingness to make false accusations the state Attorneys Office says its unlikely a jury would find the defendant guilty. The government didnt drop the case. They never filed it.

Donald trump is expected to win by a comfortable margin. Lets look at the current delegate count after iowa, New Hampshire and south carolina. Trump with 67 delegates. Rubio ten. John kasich five. Carson three. Nevada awards 30 delegates. It is not a winner take all so each could add to his total. The polls are suggesting that trump will win big and rubio and cruz will be slugging it out for second place much like south carolina. Both of them held a lot of rallies in the silver state over the past few days. Were still fighting against each other in july, august and september, we are going to lose. We have to come together at some point here or we will lose. No more empty promises.

From issues over who should be the one selecting these members to even how much power they should have. As you said its taken months to get to this point. The overall tone in tonights meeting was a positive one. These members come from a variety of different backgrounds. Theres a former naacp president as well as folks with a legal background and even local Small Business owners. Of the nine voting members, five were selected by mayor bob buck horn. Four selected by city council and the mayor chose the two alternatives. Despite criticism that he had too much of a say in who would be selected to review his police department.

Police couldnt say what the first case will be that they review but they made it clear these members will only be discussing cases that have already been closed by tpd offering the chief suggestions future to improve on similar cases. Each member had a very different reason for why they chose to take on this new role. The city asked and stepped up to the plate.

The woman who leads them visits seaworld with mixed emotion. You have memories that you bring up but theres a lot of great memories too. Reporter debbie is the executive director of the Dawn Brancheau Foundation named for her sister. The organization brought the kids here to seaworld today. I think a lot of times nice foundations are born out of trapping diz and this is ours. She followed her dreams all the way to where she wanted to be at seaworld training the animals that she loved. Reporter you know dawn brancheau as the seaworld trainer who was violently killed in 2010 when a whale lashed out for the past six years the organization has been working in dawns name to improve the lives of children and animals through Community Service projects. Their goal isnt exactly to inspire kids to work in a place like this. But if thats what that childs dream is and we help get that dream started and promoted, fine with us. Reporter the tragedy doesnt keep brancheaus family away from seaworld. They believe the animals, the people who train them, and the excitement in the eyes of kids keep their beloved sisters memory alive. I would say that her most important task at seaworld was caring for the animals. And loving those animals. And second was educating. Reporter seaworld has struggled financially since brancheaus death. The tranlty was the centerpiece of the documentary black fish fish which was critical of the killer whale program. Since 2013 the companys stock price has been cut in half. Seaworlds income dropped a and its it saw 100,000 fewer visitors over that same time period. Despite all thats happened dawn brancheaus family still goes see the whales she trained. Everyone in our family weve all decided we are not marine animal trainers. We cant know what dawn would say, pretty confident to say that dawn would want those animals to continue to be cared for and to love like she lfoov replace its orca show with something they say that focuses on theuralat behaviors.
