The judge tried her best to get the jury to come to a verdict in the Karen Read murder trial but, in the end, they just couldn't come up with a decision. After eight weeks of testimony and 68 witnesses, the case has ended in a mistrial. And, it was supposed to be a much lighter weekend at Camp David for the Bidens - sitting for a family photo shoot. Instead, it turned into a serious family meeting about how to move forward after last week's disastrous debate. Plus, among the most popular fireworks on July 4th are roman candles which shoot exploding shells into the sky. You're supposed to put them on the ground to launch... But too many people are misusing them. And, a church youth group was enjoying a hike through a scenic canyon in Utah when boom - they were struck by lightning.

The first presidential debate of the campaign could change the course of the November election. Joe Biden showed his age on stage last night with a bumbling, faltering delivery that now has even the most loyal of Democrats asking if the president should remain on the ticket.

But would she be willing to do that? Plus, it's something that hasn't been in the headlines lately, but Covid is still very much with us. As millions of Americans travel to celebrate the July 4th holiday, health experts say we should be on Covid alert. And a man went on vacation with his girlfriend and came home with a new family member.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Drowning is the number one cause of death for children between one and four according to the CDC.
