>>> WELCOME TO THE WEEK IN REVIEW.

I AM PARIS SCHUTZ .

FIRST , THE TOP STORIES.

>>> LOCAL AND NATIONAL OFFICIALS ARE ON GUARD AS BRUTAL VIDEOS ARE RELEASED IN THE KILLING OF A MEMPHIS MAN, TYRE NICHOLS.

THE RELEASE SHOW FOOTAGE ON JANUARY 7th, OFFICERS BEATING NICHOLS TO DEATH AFTER A TRAFFIC STOP .

IT APPEARS TO SHOW AN INITIAL ALTERCATION WERE POLICE THROW HIM TO THE GROUND AND AN OFFICER ATTEMPTS TO TASE HIM AS HE RUNS AWAY.

OFFICERS THEN BEATING HIM AND PEPPER SPRAYING HIM .

HE DIED THREE DAYS LATER IN THE HOSPITAL .

FIVE MEMPHIS POLICE OFFICERS HAVE BEEN FIRED AND CHARGED WITH SECOND DEGREE MURDER.

LORI LIGHTFOOT SAID PROTESTERS SHOULD STAY PEACEFUL.

SHE SAID -- >>> COOK COUNTY RESIDENTS HAVE A NEW NUMBER TO CALL IF THEY NEED HELP.

211.

LORI LIGHTFOOT AND OTHER LEADERS UNVEILED THE NEW FREE PHONE LINE TODAY AT THE GREATER CHICAGO FOOD DEPOSITORY.

OPERATORS WILL HELP PEOPLE GET INFORMATION ON HEALTHCARE SERVICES, UTILITY ASSISTANCE, AND MORE.

YOU CAN CALL, TEXT , OR ENGAGE IN A WEB CHAT.

>>> COLD , BLUSTERY , SWIRLING SNOW FOR THE WEEKEND WITH A CHANCE PARTS OF THE REGION COULD SEE HALF A FOOT OF SNOW.

THAT IS ON TOP OF THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW WE SAW AROUND SOME PARTS OF THE CITY.

AT WE SEE THE BIGGER THREAT BLOWING SNOW CAUSED BY THE WIND GUSTS.

>>> OUR PANEL, HEATHER OF WTTW, SARAH OF ABC 7, AND SASHA ON WBEZ.

>> THE FAMILY OF MR. NICHOLS CALL FOR PEACE.

YOU HAVE SEEN SOME CLIPS OF THIS.

YOUR REACTION?

>> OVERWHELMING SADNESS , CONFUSION , AND HURT.

I HAVE SOME THE QUESTIONS.

I WANT TO KNOW HOW IT STARTED AND GOT TO THAT POINT.

HIS MOTHER SAID THAT MY SON WAS BEAT LIKE A PINANTA.

WATCHING THE VIDEO, -- >> A LOT OF QUESTIONS EVERYBODY HAS.

IT WAS NOT CLEAR HOW IT ESCALATED TO THAT POINT.

IS THERE ANY INTELLIGENCE THAT THERE WOULD BE CIVIL UNREST IN CHICAGO?

>> MAYOR LIGHTFOOT TOLD PEOPLE TO BE CALM.

I SPOKE WITH PEOPLE TODAY, NO TYPE OF PROTEST PLANNED.

I AM NOT SURE EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO OUTSIDE WITH THE WEATHER.

IT DID NOT SEEM LIKE THEY HAD ANYTHING PLANNED TODAY.

OPERATION PUSH WILL HAVE SOMETHING TOMORROW MORNING.

WE WILL SEE WHAT THE FALLOUT IS IN CHICAGO OVER THE WEEKEND.

>> ORGANIZED PROTESTS COULD HAVE OVER THE WEEKEND.

LET'S COMPARE THE SITUATION TO LAQUAN McDONALD.

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HAPPENED HERE?

>> TO GET THE VIDEO RELEASED, A YEAR LATER , IT WAS A DIFFERENT SITUATION TO WHERE WE ARE IN 2023.

WE STILL HAVE CHARGES, THAT SOMETHING YOU DID NOT SEE RIGHT AWAY.

JUST TWO WEEKS , FIRED AND CHARGED, THAT IS DIFFERENT.

SOMETHING THAT IS POSITIVE PEOPLE WOULD SAY.

I CANNOT HELP BUT THINK A LOT OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS SEEING THAT TONIGHT AND WONDERING IF , WITH THE CHARGES AND THE RELEASED OF THIS , THE OFFICERS ARE ALL BLACK, HAD IT BEEN WHITE OFFICERS, WE MAY HAVE HAD ANOTHER LAQUAN McDONALD SITUATION .

>> INTERESTING THEY WERE CHARGED BEFORE THE VIDEO CAME OUT AND I THINK THAT IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED.

>> DO YOU THINK THIS WILL PLAY INTO THE CHICAGO'S MAYOR'S RACE ?

SOME HAVE MADE STATEMENTS THAT ARE VERY PRO-POLICE.

MAY THEY MODIFY THAT IF THE TENOR IN THE COUNTRY CHANGES?

>> PAUL VALLAS DECRIED WHATEVER THE VIDEO WOULD SHOW.

APPLAUDING THE DECISION TO CHARGE THE OFFICERS.

IT WILL RENEW QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER THESE REFORMS ARE POSSIBLE .

IF WE HAD A POLICE FORCE -- IF WE HAVE BODY CAMERAS AND POLICE OFFICERS WOULD NOT DO THIS SORT OF THING, THERE WERE BODY CAMERAS , IF THEY HAD TASERS, THEY WOULD NOT SHOOT PEOPLE, IN THIS CASE, THEY TASTE AND BEAT THE MAN TO DEATH.

IT WILL MAKE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT, HOW DO YOU REFORM POLICING WHERE THAT HAPPENS UNDER ALL OF THESE CIRCUMSTANCES .

IT SEEMS LIKE SO MANY OF WHAT THE REFORM ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE FAILED SPECTACULARLY.

>> KNOWING THAT THE BODY CAMERAS ARE ROLLING.

WILLIE WILSON MADE THE COMMENT, SAYING HE WANTS TO TAKE THE HANDCUFFS OFF OF POLICE OFFICERS AND CHASE THE BAD GUYS DOWN LIKE RABBITS.

WILL HE WANT TO RETHINK THAT?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

HE BRINGS CRIME BACK HOME.

HE IS LOOKING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY.

YES , HE WILL MAYBE CHANGE HIS TUNE.

>> THERE WILL BE A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS OVER THE WEEKEND.

TO THE RACE FOR MAYOR, THE GLOVES COME OFF AS EARLY VOTING STARTS.

MAYOR LIGHTFOOT ON THE WAS CONTROVERSIAL POLICE ACADEMY, CHUY GARCIA HAS HIS FIRST TV AD , AND COPS IN HOT WATER, AND ETHICS FALLOUT FROM THE MAYOR'S CAMPAIGN SENDING EMAILS TO STUDENTS WANTING HELP .

EARLY VOTING STARTED YESTERDAY.

TURNOUT IS PRETTY LOW , A COUPLE OF HUNDRED TOOK ADVANTAGE .

>> MAYBE 300.

>> WHAT IS THE TENOR OF THE VOTERS?

>> I SPOKE WITH THE VOTERS WHO CAME IN.

A LOT WERE OLDER.

THEY WERE DIVERSE.

THE COMMON THREAD, NO MATTER WHAT CITY THEY WERE FROM, CHANGE AND CRIME.

EVERYBODY WE SPOKE WITH TALK ABOUT THAT.

>> IN THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, THEY DID NOT MOVE THE NEEDLE WITH A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE.

CRIME IS ON THE MINDS OF VOTERS?

>> THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF REQUESTS FOR ABSENTEE BALLOTS.

>> PEOPLE MAY NOT HAVE THEIR MIND MADE UP.

>> THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT.

THE RACE IS SET.

WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM THE DIFFERENT POLLING , THERE IS A TOP-TIER.

LORI LIGHTFOOT, PAUL VALLAS , CHUY GARCIA , BRANDON JOHNSON MAYBE ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN BUT THERE COULD BE A PATHWAY AS HE HAS A BASE, AS WELL AS WILLIE WILSON.

THE OTHERS WILL TRY TO BREAK THROUGH.

WHAT IS FASCINATING FOR MAYOR LIGHTFOOT, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PRIVATE CAMPAIGN POLLING, 20% , THAT IS ONE IN FIVE PEOPLE.

THE INCUMBENT IS IN TROUBLE THEY SAY IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 50%.

IT WILL BE A HEAVY LIFT FOR HER.

>> WE HAVE A DEBATE THIS WEEK WILL THE MAYOR WILL TURN HER FIRE ON EVERYBODY.

CHUY GARCIA IS THE -- DO YOU THINK THESE BLOWS ARE LANDING?

>> THE CRITICISM OF HER TIME IN OFFICE IS -- SAYING , DON'T LIKE ME , BUT I'M TOUGH ENOUGH TO GET THE JOB DONE HANGING INTO THE TOUGHNESS , I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS FOR YOU.

CRIME IS DIFFERENT IN A MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WITH THE POWER TO HIRE AND FIRE.

THAT MAKES THE DISCUSSION DIFFERENT AND SHE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE WHO HAS SEEN DAVID BROWN AS THE TOP COP, ALL OTHER CANDIDATES, SORT OF PROGRESSIVE, THEY WOULD ALL FIRE HIM, CONSERVATIVE.

>> THE WARM AND FUZZY MAYOR LIGHTFOOT FOR THE BRASS KNUCKLES MAYOR LIGHTFOOT?

>> SHE IS MISSING A KEY INGREDIENT FOR ALL INCUMBENTS, POPULARITY , IT IS NOT ON HER SIDE.

VOTERS SEEM TO BE SPLIT , ON ONE HIT PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT CRIME, YOU HAVE SOME FOLKS SAYING, LET'S GIVE HER A CHANCE.

SHE IS JUST GETTING HER MOMENTUM .

IF WE INTERRUPT NOW -- >> ARE PEOPLE UNDECIDED AND WAITING TO THE END, IF THEY WILL BREAK FOR THE INCUMBENT, YOU GO WITH WHAT YOU KNOW VERSUS WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.

>> I DID NOT ASK THEM ON CAMERA BUT I TRY TO GET WHO THEY WERE VOTING FOR.

A COUPLE OF PEOPLE SAID THEY WANTED TO STAY WITH WHO THEY KNEW.

EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NOT PLEASED AND WANTED CHANGE.

ONE GUY SAID IT IS TIME FOR THE FIRST LATINO MAYOR.

THEY WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

OBVIOUSLY, THAT WILL RESULT IN A RUNOFF .

>> CHUY GARCIA WANTS TO FEATURE REALIZE -- HE HAD AN AD FEATURING REAL-LIFE POLICE OFFICERS.

>> CPD POLICY IS UNIFORMED OFFICERS CANNOT BE USED IN A POLITICAL COMMERCIAL.

LITERATURE WITH PEOPLE WEARING A POLICE UNIFORM.

HIS CAMPAIGN SAID THEY RENTED BY THE ETHICS PORT AND A GOT THE OKAY BEFORE THE COMMERCIAL RAN.

>> THEY WERE ADAMANT THE GARCIA CAMPAIGN DID NOT CONTACT THEM FOR ANY APPROVAL BECAUSE WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT A CITY POLICY, A POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICY.

IT WOULD NOT BE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE BOARD OF ETHICS TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON SOMEBODY ELSE'S POLICY.

BILL CALLED AND SAID THAT THEY DO NOT ASK THEM.

>> IF THEY WERE PLANNED EVENTS ALREADY WERE OFFICERS WERE THERE -- YOU CANNOT DO UNIFORMED OFFICERS TO PARTICIPATE.

>> WE HAVE SPENT A WEEK TALKING ABOUT THE MAYOR'S PROBLEMS WITH EMAILS , THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT, HER STRATEGY, LINKING HIM TO THE INDICTED CRYPTO FORMER CEO , AND FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER, MIKE MADIGAN , WHO HAS HIS OWN CRIMINAL ISSUES.

THIS DOES NOT MAKE HER JOB EASIER.

SHE WANTS TO BRING ON PAUL VALLAS IN A RUNOFF.

REMINISCENT OF J.B. PRITZKER SAYING I WANT BAILEY.

>> IT WORKED.

>> WILL IT WORK FOR MAYOR LIGHTFOOT?

>> PAUL VALLAS WOULD PROBABLY BE TOXIC.

ONE OF THE THINGS PROGRESSIVE FOUGHT AGAINST IS THE POLICE ACADEMY.

THERE WAS A CHANCE IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN, CHANCE THE WRAPPER WAS LEADING THE CHARGE.

>> THE THING IS BUILT.

THERE IS REALLY NOT MUCH THEY CAN DO.

THE RIBBON HAS BEEN CUT.

MAYOR LIGHTFOOT WAS AGAINST IT.

>> IT STARTED UNDER MAYOR EMMANUEL.

>> IT WAS HIS PROPOSAL.

NEVER MENTIONED -- NEVER MENTIONED .

>> AMNESIA .

>> SHE WAS AGAINST IT .

SHE WAS AGAINST THE LOCATION.

WHERE IT WOULD BE ON THE WEST SIDE, WOULD HELP THE WESTSIDE.

>> THEY PUT IN RESTAURANTS AND A YMCA.

>> IT STARTED OUT AS A $32 MILLION CENTER AND NOW $170 MILLION CENTER WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB'S AND THE RESTAURANTS.

SHE BASICALLY WAS AGAINST IT AND DOUBLE DOWN ON IT.

>> RAHM EMANUEL SAID THE TRAINING FACILITY , 2017, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SAYS THE CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS WERE GRADUATING FROM THE TRAINING ACADEMY UNPREPARED TO POLICE CONSTITUTIONALLY ON THE STREETS OF CHICAGO.

PART OF THE REASON IS BECAUSE THE TRAINING FACILITY -- HE TOOK THE DEPARTMENT , WE CAN ADDRESS THAT , THAT WAS THE GENESIS OF THE TRAINING FACILITY.

THE MENTION OF THAT AT THE CELEBRATION.

>> DID THEY MENTION WHAT THE TRAINING WOULD LOOK LIKE ?

>> THEY WILL HAVE A MOCK CITY BLOCK IN THE TRAINING FACILITY THAT WILL ALLOW OFFICERS TO PRACTICE TRAFFIC STOPS AND ALL SORTS OF OTHER THINGS.

IT WILL BE TRAINING FOR THE FIRE ACADEMY.

THERE IS A SKYSCRAPER THEY CAN DO MOCK TRAINING WITH.

THIS IS STATE-OF-THE-ART.

WILL IT HELP CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS?

THAT IS THE QUESTION .

>> DOES IT HURT HER IN THE RACE WITH PROGRESSIVES OR ARE THEY OVER THIS ?

>> THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

IT HELPS WITH PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT CRIME.

BAD FOR CHUY GARCIA YOU WOULD HAVE COPS IN UNIFORM IN A COMMERCIAL.

THE TIES TO MIKE MADIGAN.

YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CRIME AND YOU ARE ALREADY OFF MESSAGE.

IT HELPS HER IN THE LONG RUN IF SHE CAN GET TO THE RUNOFF.

SHE CAN SAY, WHERE DO THESE OTHER PEOPLE LAND?

I AM WORKING ON THE FORMATION OF THE POLICE.

>> POLICE AND FIRE WERE THERE.

NO ONE FROM OEMC WAS THERE.

>> OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION.

>> THEY ARE A HUGE PART OF POLICE AND FIRE TRAINING.

>> NEWLY RELEASED EMAILS INTO THE LIGHTFOOT CAMPAIGN CONTROVERSY.

REMIND US, THEY REACHED OUT TO TEACHERS ASKING FOR STUDENT VOLUNTEERS TO HELP HER WIN.

>> WE FOUND OUT THERE WAS A SEVEN HOUR GAP BETWEEN WHEN CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS INITIALLY SAID THESE EMAILS ARE NOT APPROPRIATE.

YOU CANNOT ELICIT VOLUNTEERS FROM OUR STUDENT BODY AND YOU CANNOT OFFER THEM CREDIT .

THAT IS NOT A THING.

THAT WAS JUST BEFORE 1:00 P.M. NOT UNTIL AFTER 7:00.

THAT THEY PUT OUT A STATEMENT SAYING IT WAS NOT APPROPRIATE AND THEY WOULD STOP IT, AFTER THEY DEFENDED IT.

WANTING TO GET INVOLVED IN CIVIC LIFE.

THE MAYOR SAID SHE STOPPED IT IMMEDIATELY.

THE QUESTION IS , DID SHE NOT KNOW THAT HER CAMPAIGN HAD BEEN ADMONISHED ?

WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT SEVEN HOUR GAP?

>> THE EMAIL SAYS , THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE, AND IMMEDIATE REACTION WAS, THIS STUFF HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

THEY HAD BEEN INFORMED THAT IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE.

>> THE CITY COLLEGE TOLD THEM IN AUGUST IT WAS NOT APPROPRIATE.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS IN JANUARY ?

>> SOME BUDDY KNEW IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE .

OTHER POLITICAL NEWS, RESIDENTS SUPPORTING AND OPPOSING THE SHERIFF'S REFUSAL TO ENFORCE THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN.

CITY COUNCIL COULD LOOK VERY DIFFERENT AFTER THE ELECTIONS AND EMBATTLED 45th WARD COUNCILMAN FACES HOT WATER .

AMONG THE SHERIFF'S SAYING THEY WILL NOT ENFORCE THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN, ONE IS IN DUPAGE COUNTY, ARE THERE MORE PEOPLE WHO SHOWED UP AT THE TOWN HALL IN SUPPORT OF HIM OR SAID ENFORCE THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN ?

>> IT WAS A MIXED BAG.

>> HE IS NOT ALONE.

OTHERS ARE ON BOARD.

>> THE SHERIFF'S DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A ROLE IN THIS.

>> THEY WERE NOT GOING TO GO DOOR-TO-DOOR TO CONFISCATE THESE GUNS.

ONE OF THE STORIES WHERE YOU HAVE TO AGREE ON ONE SET OF FACTS WHERE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING.

>> IT RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU DECIDE WHAT IS A LAW AND WHAT YOU WANT TO FOLLOW.

THAT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND.

>> THE POINT TO BRING UP HIS SANCTUARY CITIES.

PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THIS.

>> IT IS ON BOTH SIDES.

I THINK IT IS NEW IN OUR POLITICS AND CERTAINLY HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED OVER THE PAST DECADE.

>> WHAT SHERIFFS ARE TALKING ABOUT , THEY WILL NOT PROACTIVELY GO DOOR-TO-DOOR AND TAKE AWAY LEGAL GUNS .

>> WHICH THE LAW DID NOT CALL FOR.

>> THE BACK-AND-FORTH ON THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN IS GIVING ME A HEADACHE.

ARE WE GOING TO THE SUPREME COURT?

>> WILL IT BE YEARS, MONTHS ?

>> THAT IS THE QUESTION.

>> ANOTHER IMPORTANT RACE IN THIS MUNICIPAL ELECTION, THE POLICE DISTRICT COUNCIL , THE BRAND-NEW OVERSIGHT BODY, WHO ARE THE PEOPLE RUNNING FOR THE SEATS ?

>> REFORMERS AND POLICE OFFICERS.

MOST OF THEM ARE REFORMERS.

>> CAN YOU BE A CURRENT POLICE OFFICER?

>> NO.

AND YOU HAVE TO BE OFF THE FORCE FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS.

IT IS THREE MEMBERS FOR EACH DISTRICT.

ULTIMATELY , THEY WILL VOTE ON A OVERALL COMMISSION.

SEVEN MEMBERS APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR, VOTERS ELECTING FOLKS THAT WILL ELECT OTHER FOLKS.

>> THAT IS THE WAY TO GET UP AND RUNNING.

THE KEY IS RUNNING CANDIDATES.

THEY HAVE A LAWYER CHALLENGING SIGNATURES , HE IS RUNNING.

THEY HAVE AN INTEREST IN IT.

SOME DISTRICTS RECRUIT PEOPLE.

>> YOU HAVE TO TAKE THREE.

>> WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO?

>> THERE IS SO MANY RULES.

THIS WAS DEBATED FOREVER.

>> THIS WILL BE A RATINGS BONANZA.

>> THE 45th WARD, JIM GARDNER UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION, HE HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF BOWLING PEOPLE , HARASSING PEOPLE, WHAT HAPPENED RECENTLY.

HE HAS SEVERAL OPPONENTS WHO HAVE MOVED TO THE 45th WARD.

THERE WAS A GIANT HOLE.

SAYING HE BLOCK THE DEVELOPMENT.

THERE IS A FACTION THAT IS AGAINST HIM.

FIREFIGHTER, HE HAS A LOT OF SUPPORT.

VERY CONSERVATIVE , WHITE DISTRICT .

I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED, GIVEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE RUNNING AGAINST HIM.

>> HE HAS A LOT OF SUPPORT BUT PEOPLE TOTALLY AGAINST HIM.

>> THEY REDREW THE WARD A LITTLE BIT .

IT IS LESS PROGRESSIVE.

>> IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE .

SINCE YOU ARE THE RESIDENT SOX FAN.

MIKE CLEVENGER BEING INVESTIGATED FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE.

THE WHITE SOX SIGN HIM.

>> MLB HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING SINCE THE SUMMER , PERHAPS UNDER THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT , THEY CANNOT RELEASE THAT INFORMATION.

TALKING ABOUT PAYING SOMEONE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

WHAT ABOUT LOOKING AT HIS HISTORY AND TALKING TO THE SAN DIEGO PADRES?

>> DON'T THEY DO A BACKGROUND CHECK?

>> YOU WILL HAVE TO GO WITH DAVIS MARTIN WHO IS NOT PROVEN.

IT SPEAKS TO THE SOX CHEAPNESS, FROM THE TOP DOWN, HE IS STILL ON THE ROSTER, JUST CUT YOUR TIES.

>> MAYBE JERRY REINSDORF IS WATCHING RIGHT NOW.

>> GIVE ME A CALL.

>> I CANNOT QUIT THE SOX, BUT I AM VERY FRUSTRATED.

>> YOU CAN LET YOUR GUARD DOWN.

HE IS STILL ON THE ROSTER EVEN THOUGH THE ALLEGATIONS ARE OUT THERE.

>> PITCHERS AND CATCHERS REPORT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

I BET IT WILL BE A SUSPENSION.

YOU ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, BUT , IF THERE IS A HINT, CUT YOUR TIES.

HOW CAN YOU BE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE ALLEGATIONS?

ABUSING YOUR MOTHER'S CHILDREN , ALSO CHILD ABUSE.

>> WE HAVE TO OFFER CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY AT XRT, ON THE MT.

RUSHMORE OF RADIO BROADCASTS, HE WAS POETIC , SO CREATIVE HOW HE WOULD WEAVE SONGS INTO STORIES AND HIS PHILOSOPHY.

YOU DID SOME NEWS AT XRT.

WHAT ARE YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF LYNN?

>> ABSOLUTELY THE NICEST PERSON IN THE WORLD.

ON THE RADIO , THE SAME GUY AS IN PERSON.

A GENUINE HUMAN BEING.

REALLY NICE.

IT IS SUCH A GREAT RADIO STATION.

>> ONE OF THE LAST THREE DECISIONS WHERE THE DJs HAVE PERSONALITY AND THEY ARE NOT ROBOTS.

>> HE BROUGHT A LOT OF SHOWS.

>> I SAW HIM HERE .

HE WAS DOING A PLEDGE DRIVE AND CREAM WAS ON TV , HE WAS PLAYING AIR GUITAR LIKE HE WAS A TEENAGER WHO JUST DISCOVERED THE RECORD.
