Inside Edition for Friday, August 05, 2022
A spectacular weather event in Washington DC...and it left two tourists dead after a lightning bolt hit just outside the White House. As Ann Mercogliano reports, the elderly man and his wife were killed as they were apparently seeking shelter under a tree in historic Lafayette Park. And two months ago monkeypox was virtually unheard of in this country. Now it's officially a public health emergency. While there are more than 7,100 diagnosed cases of monkeypox in the U.S. This woman isn't one of them. However, that hasn’t prevented others from cruelling mocking her on social media. Plus, a teacher was just convicted of having sex with a 13-year-old student. But instead of the 40 year sentence prosecutors requested, she was sentenced to just 60 days in jail. Critics say it has something to do with the teacher's looks. And advocates for now convicted basketball star Brittney Griner hope for a deal to get her out of a Russian prison. Her teammates and fans are making sure she's not forgotten.
