    Unlikely Forgiveness

    What’s the worst thing you ever forgave someone for? Dominic Murphy found a way to forgive the most unlikely of people-the man police say murdered his son.

    Andrew Murphy, 16, was walking to a Phoenix park with his younger sisters when an armed robber approached them. Andrew stepped in between the gunman and his sisters and tried to talk the man down. He was shot in the chest and killed.

    This story first aired on 12 News and AZCentral.com on Feb. 11.

    Video:Logging Family Legacy


    Dwayne Walker’s family has been logging Arizona’s White Mountains for four generations. In that time logging technology has gone from men on the ground with saws to high tech machines capable of cutting down a huge tree in seconds.

    I was most surprised with the cutter. A single person driving it can cut down multiple trees in mere seconds and cary them to a pile. To get an up-close view of what it’s like to drive it I mounted a GoPro camera to both the cutter and the pile it was dropping trees onto.
