John Legend performed Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" on Night 3 of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Prince was from Minnesota, so it was a fitting tribute on a night that was all about Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Thousands of delegates held placards reading “Coach Walz” in red, white and blue. He leaned into his roots as a coach and teacher during his acceptance speech and thanked the delegates for "bringing the joy." The vice presidential nominee and former football coach said he hasn't given a lot of speeches, but he has given a lot of pep talks. KYW Newsradio’s Pat Loeb reports from the DNC in Chicago.

A former teacher in the Lower Merion School District will spend 30 years in prison for soliciting sexually explicit photos and videos from young girls, including at least one of his students.

Jeremy Schobel, 33, was a teacher at Harriton High School in Bryn Mawr. Over several years — and often from his classrooms — investigators said he faked extensive online profiles to entice his underage victims. Officials said he would pose as a young girl on Snapchat.

Schobel was arrested in June 2023 and pleaded guilty to child pornography charges in March. Federal prosecutors said the 30-year sentence closes the book on Schobel’s years of catfishing and gives his victims a measure of justice.
