are overcrowded so state politicians have been looking to expunge enhancements put on minor sentences like drugs, but lawyers representing davis are hoping to use these recent reforms to their advantage. one of the laws is smb 483 introduced by state senator ben allen. in a statement he says davis is allowed to make whatever wild legal assertion he wants, but our lie was deafly not designed to undo the death sentences of condemned child killers like him and any attempt to argue otherwise is off base." >> i think the court will look very carefully as to whether these guidelines actually apply to mr. davis and his death penalty verdict or whether they should only be used in other sentencing schemes. >> this could also set a precedent for future cases. >> other courts will look at this case in deciding how they handle these death penalty decisions when they have to go back and do resentencing under the new law. >> i think the judge is very
1:42 am
good and thoughtful and will come to the right decision. >> important to note while mrs. davis has been on death row -- mr. davis has been put on death row -- in regards the judge did not issue a ruling today and the next hearing is scheduled for may 31st, audrey? >> joslin, thank you. 11:00 a federal judge taking unprecedented action against an east bay women's prison. a special master has been appointed to oversee the federal connection -- correctional institute. this is the first time this has -- prison has been susceptible to this over site. the prison has been dealing with charges of sexual abuse and medical neglect for years. two years ago the previous warden was convicted of sexually abusing three inmates and then last year two guards were charged with abusing several female inmates. new at 11:00, you may have
