College tuition rising, Innocence Project frees man after three decades, the science of ‘rain bombs’
Published 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
With their finances stretched, Colorado’s colleges and universities are going with tuition hikes on the higher end of what’s allowed. Then, a Denver man convicted decades ago in the death of a baby walked free Tuesday, after the Innocence Project took his case. And, for Earth Day, we take a look at a frequent and explosive natural phenomenon with the power to knock planes out of the sky.
