Big day at the Donald Trump hush money trial as opening statements got underway. However, proceedings at this historic and unprecedented trial ended hours early, around lunch time. So why was the trial the whole world is watching cut short today? Because one of the jurors...had to go to the dentist! And a man trapped in a burning SUV is praising the team of good Samaritans who risked their own lives to save him. Despite the fire ball and explosions, one by one they joined in and kept to the task at hand. As Les Trent reports, they've been named America's newest highway heroes. Plus, she was a widow who went online to find love again. She met a man on a dating website who appeared to be “Mr. Right.” However, authorities say he turned out to be a scammer who drained her of her 1.5 million dollar life savings. Then she was found dead, her family says of mysterious circumstances. Now as Alison Hall reports, the woman's daughter is sounding the alarm about what's been called an epidemic of romance scams. And the reviews are in for Taylor Swift's new album...but get this - one magazine was so scared of retaliation from Swifties over a bad review they erased the critic's name!

Major drama at the Donald Trump hush money trial. Just seconds after it was confirmed the entire jury pool had been picked, including 12 jurors and six alternates came a horrifying scene. A man set himself on fire right outside the courthouse. Ann Mercogliano was there and has a firsthand account. And we warn you the images are disturbing. And, we are now seeing bodycam video of police arriving on the scene of that heartbreaking uber shooting that shocked the nation. Both the 81-year-old man and the Uber driver he fatally shot had fallen victim to a phone scam. And as Jim Moret reports, the new video show cops getting the alleged scammer on the phone. The 81-year-old man has pled not guilty to murder charges. Plus, if you’re a Swiftie, you're probably feeling a bit tired today. Because last night at midnight, Taylor swift dropped her new album ‘Tortured Poets Department'. Our Alison Hall is among the millions caught up in Taylor mania. And, continuing chaos at Columbia University, pro-Palestinian demonstrators clashed with Israel supporters. And across the country at USC, a massive crowd marched to protest the school's decision to not allow a pro-Palestinian valedictorian to speak at graduation.

After a one-day break, court resumed today in Donald Trump's hush money trial and right away there was major chaos. The judge was hoping to wrap up jury selection tomorrow, but today two of the seated jurors were dismissed! And, this video will make your blood boil. A woman was shopping when a brazen creep appears to slide his cell phone right under her skirt. He may have gotten away if not for another woman who caught the incident on video and then confronted the guy until help arrived. Plus, it's the sentencing of a monster who will now likely die in prison. He abducted a nine-year-old on a camping trip with her family and kept her locked up in a cabinet in a trailer on his property. Thankfully, the brave little girl survived and as Les Trent reports, she's sending a message loud and clear to her kidnapper. And, it's Caitlyn Clark’s first time meeting the press as a pro basketball star and an exchange with one sports reporter was downright cringey.
