More than a week after a drunk driver killed Dr. Barbara Friedes while she was biking in Philadelphia, local officials, community activists, and Friedes’ family continue to sort through the aftermath of the accident. Will the tragic incident lead to change?

We also break down a new study released by the University of Pennsylvania that digs deep into the state of public trust in the Supreme Court, and look at the landmark decision that caused a tipping point. 

And if you’re wondering just how uncomfortable those infamous cardboard beds at the Olympic Village in Paris really are, a local member of the Team USA delegation gives us a first-hand account. 

Join Matt Leon and KYW Newsradio’s reporters as they dig into all of those stories and more of what happened in the Philadelphia region this week.
