Hey, good morning.
It's time for Dateline's morning meeting.
So here we go. Let's do a fast meeting. I'm sure you guys have a really busy day.
Our producers are swapping tips about breaking crime news around the country.
This does feel like it's gone to trial very quickly. There's an actual real issue of a new charge that just came up. We'll see what happens with that.
Welcome to Dateline True Crime Weekly. I'm Andrea Canning. It's April 24th, and here's what's on our docket. There is a verdict in the Arizona murder trial of Lori Vallow Daybell, a.k.a. Mommy Doomsday. Did her high-risk gamble to represent herself backfire?
Lori Vallow had no reaction. She stood up, walked out of the courtroom, and that was that.
Other stories we've got our eyes on this week, a bombshell filing in Scott Peterson's case. His defense team says they have evidence that proves his innocence and testimony begins at the retrial of disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein.
The big difference is Weinstein is facing a new charge, an additional charge of first-degree criminal sexual act against a new accuser.
