Luckily, very little damage. But this extended all the way up into the upper Mississippi River valley. Look what happened in minneapolis. All the beyonce fans waiting for a concert, they had to evacuate while severe storms moved in. They eventually got back into the stadium. Boy, what a mess it was there.

Good morning to you. Morning. A prosecutor reopened a criminal probe into this after portions of a deposition were released. What happens at this hearing today . Today is the first time bill cosby ever faces any real evidence criminally of sex crimes he is accused of here in 2004. The prosecution will walk through its case. The entire burden is on the prosecution to show they have enough to go to trial. Were going to hear from the prosecutor mr. Steel. We might see paper evidence regarding any history or predilection mr. Cosby has. We might hear from the accuser herself. We understand there is a chance she can testify. Its a difficult decision for a prosecutor, whether you want the complaining witness on the stand at this early part of the case. This is like a preseason or dry run. You do not convict a defendant, bill cosby, today. You need to prove to a judge you get to go to trial. If you bring on the accuser, the key witness in this case, youre previewing that for the later trial for the defense. Even if the prosecution finds there isnt sufficient the judge says, there is insufficient evidence, the prosecutor can still go refile these charges to a trial court. Exactly right, matt, though i think we can all understand in a case like this, it would be a big blow if they dont clear the bar today. What they want to do is show they have more than enough evidence to get this to trial. That would be bill cosby then facing an accuser in a criminal context for the first time with his liberty at stake. Ari, thank you very much.
