Death toll rises to 18 in condo collapse

At least 18 people are dead and 147 are unaccounted for after a south Florida condo building partially collapsed last week. The Miami-Dade mayor announced that two children, ages 4 and 10 are among the lives lost. Ashley Dean’s sister, Cassondra Stratton, is among the unaccounted for. Cassondra’s husband told the Miami Herald he was on the phone with her when she told him their condo was shaking and a sink hole had opened up where the pool used to be just before the line went dead and the building came crashing down. Dean tells AC360 her sister was “very, very vivacious and she just had a zest for life.” Plus, Bill Cosby has been released from prison after the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania vacated his 2018 conviction on sexual assault charges and judgment of sentence. Patricia Leary Steuer says Cosby assaulted her on two occasions. She joins AC360 to discuss Cosby’s release and says she’s “sad” and “feeling like this is a loss for me and for the other women who came forward.”
