Inside Edition for Monday, December 16, 2024

It’s official the Kansas City Chiefs are headed back to the Super Bowl...going head-to-head with the San Francisco 49ers. Count on the stadium to be filled with red…and count on ratings gold for the telecast. Although Taylor Swift has a concert the day before in Tokyo - it's a safe bet that she'll be in Las Vegas for the big game. And writer E. Jean Carroll spoke publicly today for the first time since her stunning victory in her defamation case against Donald Trump. She says she's going to use a big chunk of the $83 million for something she says Trump would hate…setting up a fund for other women who claim they were sexually assaulted by the former president. Something he denies. But will she see any of the money? Plus, a deadly mistake may have cost three American service personnel their lives. U.S. officials admitting the drone attack on a U.S. base in Jordan happened just as an American drone was returning from a mission…and personnel got the two confused. It happened at a little known post called Tower 22. Steven Fabian on what it is…and why us troops are there. And she's accused of killing her boyfriend by stabbing him 108 times...now there's anger over the fact she's been spared jail time after the judge ruled she was not in control because she'd been smoking pot. The victim's father is furious saying everyone who smokes marijuana in California has been given license to kill.

The man cops say has been stalking Taylor Swift was just arrested outside her New York apartment for the third time. Now many are asking why he was free after authorities say he was spotted outside Taylor’s home 30 times in recent weeks. As Steven Fabian reports, there are now serious concerns for the safety of the world's most famous pop star. And high drama today as former President Trump takes the stand in a New York courtroom. It's the penalty phase of the defamation trial involving the writer who successfully sued him for sexual abuse. However, before Trump took the stand the judge laid down some very strict rules. Plus, she was beautiful and talented performing with one of the most prestigious dance companies in the country. Now she's dead at age 25 all because she ate a cookie. She has a peanut allergy and while snacking with friends took a bite of a cookie she thought was peanut free...but as Jim Moret reports, it wasn't. And the kicker for the Buffalo Bills is being bullied over missing a field goal that many believe killed their chances of going to the Super Bowl. However, things are turning around! He's now getting lots of support including a woman whose cat shelter is being inundated with donations in honor of the cat loving NFL.
