Saturday on PBS News Weekend, a nation honors former President Jimmy Carter as nearly a week of memorial events begin today in his home state of Georgia. Then, new questions arise in New Orleans about why threatening social media posts made by the suspect went unnoticed until it was too late. Plus, how an online investment scam is leaving victims in tears and financial ruin.
