a deadly morning house fire. i should say. the fire happened at a home on laurie court near palladini road just after 8 a.m. both roads were closed to traffic this morning, but palladini has since reopened. officials expect laurie court to be closed during the investigation. police have not released any information about the victim. no word on the cause of the fire either for novato. police and fire are both working to try to figure out what happened. >> hundreds of protests rallied in front of the san francisco federal building this afternoon. the group tried to get the attention of speaker emerita. nancy pelosi, urging her to stop us military aid to israel. protest leaders called for a ceasefire in gaza, pointing to the worsening humanitarian crisis there. this rally was organized in solidarity with a global day of action for palestinians in the east bay. there was another protest, this one at the offices of south bay. congressman ro khanna. organizers shared this video of the event with us. people urged china to support a house resolution that would call for a ceasefire in the conflict zone.

of planning that led up to this attack, revealing david depape purchased an online subscription to collect addresses and phone numbers of his quote, many targets that were all saved in a folder on his desktop labeled favorite politicians. >> i've got a problem. but he thinks it was his. >> for hours depape rewatched each piece of evidence emotionless, even as the government showed a picture of then 82 year old paul pelosi on the ground in a pool of his own blood. the evidence followed by this a stunned jury listened as the defense began opening statements, rattling off false statements of other high profile people to plan to target. that included false theories about actor tom hanks, hedge fund manager george soros, hunter biden, governor gavin newsom, congressman adam schiff and target one, who we learned is an associate professor at the university of michigan, teaching about the lgbtq community and feminism. depape believes she was promoting child molestation

and allegedly planned to use nancy pelosi to lure her to him. that's when the defense revealed their strategy. it's not a whodunit, but why are arguing the government failed to answer why depape did what he did, claiming the evidence in this case has nothing to do with nancy pelosi and her official duties as a member of congress. but a plan to stop child molesters and end corruption. now, despite audio recording of depape admitting himself, his attempt to not only harm pelosi, but many other targets he had on his list and the lack of remorse after the attack, his attorneys still concluded today saying, quote, he had no intention of harming paul pelosi. now dan, i do want to mention throughout this trial the prosecution will have more than a dozen witnesses and the defense will call three. stephanie >> thank you, diane. >> feinstein's impact is seen all over san francisco where her
