First murder conviction for fentanyl dealer
Placer County District Attorney Morgan Gire joins us in securing what is believed to be the first murder conviction against a fentanyl dealer in the state. We’ll also discuss how other prosecutors in Northern California have followed his lead, and how this is all unfolding as lawmakers continue to debate how to best address the fentanyl crisis across California.
Greta Gerwig's Barbie
The Barbie movie is smashing box office records in the United States and around the world and the director is none other than Sacramento’s very own Greta Gerwig. Filmmaker, movie critic and TV host, Mark S. Allen joined Insight to talk about Gerwig’s rise to fame, how she got involved with the Barbie movie and her love for her hometown of Sacramento.
