A grave dispute

July 2, 2013

Bodies of dead children have been moved, and then sued over. Sixteen relatives have taken grandson Mandla Mandela to court after he reburied the children's remains in Mandela's birthplace of Mvezo in 2011 Bickering between various factions has been played out in public and in the courts. Now, Mandla Mandela is facing criminal charges. And it adds to the growing uncertainty of what's really going on in the end-of-life care of one of the 20th Century's true heroes.

We'll have the latest, tonight at 11.

Also at 11, a one-year-old on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, tonight fighting for his life and at the center of an emotional plea by parents hoping to raise enough money to treat the child's rare disease. The 2-in-a-million odds disease requires a bone marrow transplant, and now the parents are looking for a match and money.

We'll also have any breaking news of the night, plus Meteorologist Lee Goldberg's AccuWeather forecast, and Rob Powers with the night's sports. I hope you can join Sade Baderinwa and me, tonight at 11.
