any suspicious activity and any sightings of the person who they that was in that surveillance video. i can tell you from all of the reports on twitter and the people we have spoken with, this is a city very much on edge over the last couple of days. in fact, if this is a significant break in the case, a lot of folks are going to be relieved, kyra. casey, we ll follow it. thank you so much. heavy snowfall and winter storm warnings may cause major travel delays for a lot of people. rob marciano has the latest forecast. good morning. winter has finally arrived after a long, long wait. december certainly was mild. now we have lake effect snows going across parts of u.p. of michigan, chicago seeing some snow. some of the areas will see a decent amount, maybe 10 to 20 inches plus. and it does include parts of upstate new york between syracuse and watertown especially. we do expect to see maybe 10 or 20 inches of snow with the potential snow rates happening. even with the blizzard ra
candidates first true test, will take place in the iowa caucuses and you can watch what happens from all sides. a special live coverage of the iowa caucuses all begins tomorrow night, 7:00 eastern, right here on cnn. well, los angeles police have detained a man in a suspected arson spree. at least eight more fires were set this morning, making a total of 47 fires in just the past few days. police also released the surveillance video of an individual that they want to question about those fires. cnn s casey wyans is joining us now. what do we know about the man that police have detained, and is there any possible well, any possible connection, we should say, to those fires? reporter: well, we don t know a lot, kyra, at this point. what i can tell you is that he does bear a similarity to that surveillance video that was released, taken not far from where i am standing at the command post in hollywood over the weekend of a white male emerging from a parking
that s right. one of the big questions in this day before the iowa caucuses is whether the man in the sweater vest can make mitt romney sweat. rick santorum is in the enviable position of being the final surging non-romney conservative to do well. before these iowa caucuses so we are chasing him from stop to stop to stop today. he is chasing the undecided caucus goers. and you get the sense looking at the poll that came out over the weekend that showed rick santorum in third place. if you look at the last two days that that poll was taken, he is surging into second place into a statistical tie with mitt romney. so it s no surprise that the former massachusetts governor went after rick santorum, talking about the fact that santorum was a senator in washington, trying to tie him to those other politicians, those other washington politicians, who are in the race. and rick santorum had a response for that. let s play that for you. senator santorum was kind enough to endorse m
interesting that the highlighters were requested but no questions. i thought that perhaps it came from the fact that in california and in this case the jurors were allowed to take notes. so, rather than come back into the courtroom and ask for read-back of testimony, which was sort of the practice when i was practicing law in washington, d.c., as a prosecutor, perhaps they needed the highlighters to remind themselves of the most powerful evidence that came in front of them or perhaps to go through those jury instructions. remember, there s only one count here, involuntary manslaughter, but the jury instructions were actually quite kmrefl. that is because this case is much more of a medical malpractice type case rather than sort of the typical hom stied that we all see on csi and that sort of thing, homicide by gun, by knife. so perhaps they needed it to weed through the elements that were outlined in the jury instructions, which again were pretty complicated. reporter: le
fires were set earlier tonight. and what s interesting, even though the fire department nor police will say why they are questioning this man, why he was detained, we have been monitoring that scanner traffic all morning, and there have been no fires reported since that man was detained for questioning. kyra? all right. so police think one person is or do police think that it s one person responsible for setting all these fires? because there has been talk out there, casey, that there might be more than one individual. there have been those reports. they will not tell us whether they believe it is one person or multiple people. they have been looking into both those possibilities. what i can tell you is they have been very concerned about copycats in the area. and they have released very few details about how these car fires were set, other than to say that some type of incendiary device was used. they were also urging the public to keep their cars locked, to remain vigilant, and
