Inside Edition for Monday, February 17, 2025

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s rejection of Roe vs. Wade the fight for abortion rights is moving into a new and uncharted phase.

Others are providing travel benefits while advocates on both sides are planning to fight at the state level. Ann Mercogliano with a look at the elation and despair prompted by the ruling. And she's got seven million followers on TikTok and she's hoping one of them knows something. Her son was murdered…and so far cops have not arrested his killer. Now, the lady known as “Mama Tot” is asking social media to crack the case! Plus, you may have seen that amazing moment when some folks out at sea fishing took a direct hit from lightning. It is a miracle they weren't killed - and pretty close to a miracle that they made it home. Now Les Trent speaks with the people who were on board. And if you've flown anywhere lately, and more and more of us are - then you know what a madhouse airports are. And it's not much better on board the planes. That's because, as Jim Moret reports, travelers are back to their same old bad habits.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Almost exactly one year since Bill Cosby was released from prison, the disgraced comedian has been found liable of sexually abusing a teenaged girl back in the 70s. As Jim Moret reports, the verdict is the first time Cosby's been found civilly liable, and a stunning take down of a man who's been accused of misconduct by scores of women for years. And when it comes to being American, they're right up there with baseball and apple pie; Girl Scout Cookies. So imagine the possibility that a father is using his daughter to hustle people by taking money for Girl Scout Cookies, and never delivering them. Plus, at least one third of the swimming pools in American have had to reduce their hours or even close because there aren't enough lifeguards to keep swimmers safe. It's a consequence of the pandemic, and that's where this granny comes in. She's heading back to the pool to help out. And has the NFL turned a blind eye to a toxic culture? NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was at a congressional committee hearing today looking into allegations that go back at least 20 years of groping and other misconduct at the team now known as the Washington Commanders.  At the hearing Goodell said that “the workplace at the Commanders today bears no resemblance to the workplace that has been described” to the committee. The NFL has fined the Commanders 10 million dollars and Dan Snyder, the team’s owner has stepped down from day-to-day operations. His rep says he didn't attend today's hearing because of business commitments and concerns it wouldn't be fair.

It was more drama on the court than anyone at a basketball game bargained for. The ref calling the game collapsed from a heart attack, and one of the players turned out to be a real lifesaver! Steven Fabian has details.
