Ask the Attorney: K-9 handler in Colorado receives immunity after K-9 officer

The growth and developments in science and technology never cease to amaze. Nearly 25 years after the terror attacks on September 11th -- just a few weeks removed -- investigators have identified another person killed that awful day. How did it happen? DNA testing and family tree research -- together known as genetic genealogy.

A family in Colorado is facing $300,000 in medical debt, more than two years after a K-9 officer living next door climbed the fence and attacked a two-year-old girl and her father. Recently, the K-9 handler was found 'not guilty' in the incident because he has immunity as a member of law enforcement doing his official duties -- in this case, he was cleaning the K-9 officer's cage. In this edition of "Ask the Attorney," Holly consults KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas on this immunity claim and why the family is having such a hard time finding a lawyer to take their case.

The Trump Administration dubbed today "economic D-Day" for Iran. The plan calls for a severe intensification of sanctions on the country, pressuring America's allies to also cut any economic ties with Iran. We hear live from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who explains the administration's plans. At the same time, the trade war with Canada ramps up -- each side now planning a 50% tariff on incoming goods. Greg and Holly give their takes on both economic developments.

It's being called the Integrated Warfighter Ecosystem -- a coalition made up of small and midsize businesses from around the country, all of which have something to offer to the Department of Defense. Defense companies descended on Payson on Friday to celebrate the launch of this new coalition. But what's its purpose, what does it hope to do, and why Utah? KSL NewsRadio's Heather Peterson gives Greg and Holly some insights into the new group.

The Flock cameras are multiplying. Sometimes, they're growing without permission. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that an unauthorized camera recently appeared on city property in Millcreek… right by city hall. The problem is that no one knows where it came from or who installed it. The camera's since been cut down, but it once again brings up questions of security and privacy when it comes to these kinds of surveillance cameras.

A majority of Americans consistently rank Congress as having low or very low ethics. A Gallup poll from earlier this year said 71% of Americans didn't rank Congress as having high ethical standards. Here's the dumb question: is anyone actually surprised? Reporting from Cami Mondeaux, Deseret News congressional correspondent, explains that Congress may be in for an ethics reckoning. She joins Inside Sources to explain.

This could be yet another example of social media freaking out without having all the facts. Plans have now been released for a memorial event at Utah Valley University on the first anniversary of the murder of political influencer Charlie Kirk. But you may remember a few weeks ago -- when the university announced they'd close campus on that day -- social media freaked out because a memorial had not been announced. Claims that UVU was ignoring the tragic events from a year ago spread like wildfire. But now, it looks like those claims were wrong.

Pumpkin spice season is just about here -- Starbucks kicks it off tomorrow! At the same time, more and more Americans are buying their fall and Halloween decorations early; in fact, most are buying them before September. It's still above 90 degrees, and we're already talking about fall! What is it about the fall season that just has so many people excited? Greg and Holly have a lively chat about the impending fall season.

Despite some real challenges for Utah's tourism economy, visitor spending was up in 2025 -- just over half a percent. And with that increase, the state's economy saw $13.7 billion from tourism. That comes even with big drops in visits from China and Canada, fewer visits to state and national parks, and a slight decrease in passengers flying through Salt Lake City International Airport. So what's driving up the total spending in our state? And what kind of effect does that have on the overall economy -- how does it help those of us who live here? Communications Director at the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute Nick Thiriot joins the conversation.
