Pocomoke City Firing; DNA Documentary; Teen Pregnancy

We delve into the controversial firing of a police chief in a waterfront town on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. In Pocomoke City, a decision by the mayor and city council to dismiss the town’s first black police chief has led to charges of racial discrimination, drawn the attention of the Justice Department and caused rifts among old friends. That story among three this hour. We’ll also hear about a documentary on a Maryland death row inmate exonerated by DNA evidence and have a follow-up to a recent Midday hour on reducing teen pregnancy.
