20 years ago Scott Peterson was convicted of killing his wife Laci and their unborn son. He has always proclaimed his innocence and now he has a powerful ally. The LA Innocence Project has taken up his case and is calling for a new trial. As Les Trent reports, today Peterson was back in court. And more than 19 million people tuned in for Sunday night's Oscars…the highest in four years. As Jim Moret reports, we're learning more about the drama that went on behind-the-scenes. Plus, a man was hiking in Hawaii when he came upon an emaciated dog, stuck near a 1,000 foot peak.

Even though the Oscars were scheduled to start an hour early this year, they were still late. Organizers thought they'd prepared for any interruptions. However, demonstrators still gummed up the works and the telecast started five minutes late. Jim Moret has a look at the drama you didn't see on TV. And most people wait until after the show for their reviews…but Jimmy Kimmel was critiqued in real time by the former president. Donald Trump posted on social media that Kimmel was "the worst host ever." Kimmel didn't waste a moment to share the review. Plus, it was the photo that was meant to quell the speculation about Princess Kate's post operative condition. Instead it caused an uproar that prompted prominent news agencies to pull this photo of Kate and her children from circulation. Editors determined it had been doctored - and this morning, Les Trent reports the princess admitted, she had edited it. And silverback gorillas are considered the top of the animal kingdom, incredibly strong and hugely territorial…and two Texas zookeepers nearly found out the hard way how true that is. Steven Fabian with video that has mouths dropping across the country.

She stayed in as long as she could but today Nikki Haley officially suspended her presidential campaign…without endorsing Donald Trump. Meantime, Trump supporters celebrated his Super Tuesday wins with a blowout party at Mar-a-Lago. But the question many are asking is - where was Melania? And if inflation at the supermarket wasn't bad enough, there's also shrinkflation - where companies give you less product for the same price. And that's even got Cookie Monster worked up. Plus, it's one of the most iconic photos of all time, a sailor kissing a total stranger, a nurse in Times Square celebrating the end of World War II. Now, there's outrage over a request to have it banned from the Department of Veterans Affairs in our Nation’s Capital because...that 70 year old kiss was not consensual. And a woman got quite the shock when she picked up her groceries left outside her door...and she noticed something horrifying. Someone had drawn what looked like a swastika on her box of seltzer…and what really got her shaking was when she checked her security camera and it was her neighbor who happens to be a former pastor.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

March is when spring break happens and millions of students head to Florida for vacation. However, they may want to think twice about heading to Miami Beach. The city's just put out an announcement telling spring breakers - "we're breaking up with you." And these days when there's a big public event, there are usually protesters nearby. Picketers caused such delays at the Grammys that some artists almost missed their awards. So organizers of this weekend's Oscars are taking no chances. Jim Moret looks at the barrier being created to keep the Oscars conflict free. Plus, a deadly auto crash left two children dead when a car hit the horse and buggy they were in. Cops say a woman confessed to being behind the wheel - but they say she wasn't the driver.

Les Trent talked with the mom who was wrongly accused and is understandably furious about what she and her four-year-old went through.

If seven feet of snow's not enough…more snow is on the way to Northern California which is already dealing with record snow, and winds from a storm that hit over the Sierra Nevada over the weekend. About 100 miles of the main interstate through the area was closed and people were literally snowed in, including a man who kept his own blizzard video diary. And it's been more than six weeks since Princess Kate had abdominal surgery and she is still weeks away from resuming her public duties. Now we're seeing the first photo of the princess since her release from the hospital. Plus, she's about to sail into the record books as the first American woman to sail solo around the world.

It’s supposed to be the easiest and most convenient way to see a doctor - heading to your local Urgent Care. However, one couple who went to get help for the flu - ended up with a different kind of emergency. Les Trent explains. And she's the Connecticut mom who disappeared five years ago...her estranged husband was the prime suspect when he committed suicide. Now, his girlfriend has been found guilty of helping him cover up the crime. She was so devastated upon hearing the verdict she broke into tears, unable to even lift up her head. Plus, a 75-year-old man came out of retirement to take a job as a substitute teacher. Then he ended up being assaulted by a 6’ 2” – 280 pound student! As Ann Mercogliano reports, the teacher wants to press charges...but so far no arrest. And family and friends, as well as fellow nursing students of slain Laken Riley said their final goodbyes today as she was laid to rest.
