We start today with an update on the legal fight between Apple and the FBI, which wants Apple to help it access a cell phone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists.

Then, the trial of Lonnie Franklin, accused of being the so-called Grim Sleeper serial killer, started this week. What do we know about the case?

Next, Madeleine speaks to a city councilman from Adelanto, a high desert town that’s become the second city in the state to allow the commercial cultivation of medical marijuana.

In other marijuana-related news, Madeleine speaks to the director of the new documentary Rolling Papers.

And finally, a fight between a father and a surrogate mother highlights all kinds of legal questions about surrogacy in California.
