5:04 pm
mule creek state prison as his lawyers made their case at the hall of justice in redwood city. today's hearing was mostly procedural. it only lasted about 20 minutes or so, but it did give us a better understanding of what the argument for his innocence is going to be. peterson is now represented by lawyers with the la innocence project. that's a nonprofit that specializes in taking up cases for people who may have been wrongfully convicted. they are ultimately asking the court for a new trial. they claim new information from discovery, dna evidence and new witnesses may prove peterson was not his wife's killer after his conviction nearly two decades ago. for that crime. today, peterson's lawyers asked the court to seal the identities of the potential new witnesses, but then withdrew that request after prosecutors told the court most of the information is already public. criminal defense attorney and legal expert paula carney explained how today's motions are part of a larger strategy.
5:05 pm
>> they're laying the groundwork right now in making these preliminary motions to get out the information that will provide the to the gravamen the heart of this motion for a new trial. and so the next motion is the defense motion to compel dna testing on a bunch of different items. >> if we're if everything and those items include a hammer linked to a burglary across the street from the peterson family home, along with a stained mattress that was found in a burned out van less than a mile away from the home, peterson's attorneys say that evidence was not processed in the initial trial 20 years ago. peterson has previously raised issues of juror misconduct and the theory that the burglars could have abducted and killed his wife, but this latest appeal will hinge on that potential new dna evidence. the next hearing in this case is set for may 29th. julie.

5:07 pm
has to release those suspects from jail, at least for now, since she faces a hard deadline to charge them or release them. >> unfortunately, in order for us to make a decision on what would normally be the 48 hour clock, it would not be sufficient legally. and so it puts us having to make the decision today. i know that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to folks, but unfortunately, because they were arrested before 4 p.m. yesterday, it it moves up the clock a bit. >> district attorney brooke jenkins says the california highway patrol still has to turn over evidence pertaining to the case, including video of the suspects on the bridge, and her office needs to then evaluate that evidence for each of the more than two dozen suspects and decide if her office will prosecute the protesters. >> we do expect this to take at the very least, several days because, again, it's not only the gathering of the evidence and the presentation to this office, but it's also my office's ability to review the
5:08 pm
evidence as it relates to 26 different suspects. >> david levine teaches at the university of california school of law in san francisco. he says the law is clear that people can protest, but that when they block roads or bridges, they're breaking the law by choosing to protest on a bridge they've obstructed other people. >> these other people are not able to go about their business as they choose. they may or may not be sympathetic to that cause. but you can't impose the car. the cause on other people and the genocide. >> now, outside of san francisco's county jail, protesters called for the release of those arrested for blocking the bridge. >> protesters there were, were taken in, arrested and actually charged with an egregious trumped up felony charge and as a result, were held overnight, so we are here today demanding their release, it's been over 24 hours that they have been in the jail. >> now, the da here in san
5:09 pm
francisco also discussed the bay bridge protesters from november, many of whom received diversion as part of their plea deal. now, the da says that was a deal that was worked out between the defendants and the judge and that if these latest cases from the golden gate bridge are prosecuted as misdemeanors, this new batch of defendants, defendants rather from the golden gate bridge, could work out a similar deal with another judge. and, as she says, the decision on whether and how to prosecute these latest protesters is, at least again, several days away. we're live in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. >> the chp seemed pretty adamant yesterday that they wanted these individuals charged with felonies. christian, did you get a sense at all today from the da whether or not she was leaning towards misdemeanors or felonies, if indeed there were charges going to be filed here in the future? >> well, and i think that's really what she's looking to get at, mike. she says that she needs to see the evidence now. the conspiracy, charge. that would be the felony if there was a if there was a work between multiple people to try to pull
5:10 pm
off these series of misdemeanors that could be a felony in the parlance that they use. they call it a wobbler. it could either be a misdemeanor or a felony. the da telling me today when we asked her about that, that she really does need to see the evidence from chp, and then she has to have her investigators look at it and determine exactly what happened before proceeding on how to charge them whether to charge the those arrested with misdemeanors or felonies. >> now, that makes sense. got to see all the evidence first. all right, christian captain, live tonight in san francisco. christian. thank you. we did reach out to the alameda county da's office today to see if any of the 12 protesters arrested for shutting down interstate 80 will be charged. we have not yet heard back. >> after months of scandal and instability with the independent police auditor, san jose now has named a new independent police watchdog. the city council voted unanimously to appoint eddie aubrey to that post. he previously headed the office of professional accountability for the richmond police department. the independent police auditor's office monitors and reviews

5:18 pm
petitions if they actually counted. >> those who actually did not put on their occupation. some folks do not want to put on an occupation for many reasons. we believe that we should have more than 100,000 signatures, and the recallers do not want to wait until november. >> we are here for various reasons. our main reason for us being here today is to make sure that the board of supervisors follows the charter. the charter used specific words without delay, immediately, even if a special election could cost as much as $20 million, the recallers say it is worth it. we have lost more than $20 million in damages. lives lost. there's no dollar amount for live loss physical damage to people they can and they must both accept the certifications by april 30th. >> and secondly they must set an election on april 30th. that is by law, both under county and state law. >> by zoom da price's lawyer

5:21 pm
more sunshine started off with a little fog, a little bit on the coast and then a little bit of valley fog. actually just real patchy down the central valley as well. and then you end up this afternoon. you've got these high clouds. i wonder if you know what those are called. there's those are what kind of clouds are ice crystal clouds? i'm giving you a minute to think about it. those are cirrus clouds. right. so when you see ice crystal clouds, the reason they're ice crystals, because they're, you know, well above the freezing zone. and they're oops, went away. and they're usually indicative because they're up high. they're more caught up in the jet stream. so it's an indication that there is weather out in the pacific in these ice crystal clouds caught up in the upper level, winds moving freely or more freely from the friction of the planet because it's up high away from topography, they come in ahead. and so in the old days, if you were a fisherman or in a frontiersman, you would look at that and you go, oh, weather change, right? and that doesn't mean the case this right now because it's not winter. but in the winter when you see those high crystal clouds, ice crystal clouds, cirrus, cirrus clouds, that often means a change in the
5:22 pm
weather. in this case, it doesn't. but i still think they're beautiful clouds. and the temperatures today did warm. they were very pleasant. we got up to 78 in menlo park, so touching on 80 degrees. novato is 75 as we go to tomorrow. so same thing. we're going to just be just kissing 80 degrees all week long with clouds coming in and out. kind of like what we had today as those clouds came in over that fair weather, high pressure ridge, which, by the way, is staying put for a while this week, maybe next week and maybe the next week after that. the long range models are pretty bullish on not much going on in terms of precept. for us that can easily change, but that's just one of the one of the things i noticed this morning. so these are the forecast highs for tomorrow. they all work their way back up. so another warm day tomorrow. tree pollens are starting to trend up. keep an eye on those. i'll see you back here with a full forecast. >> all right, bill, thank you. a major pilot union is raising
5:23 pm
5:24 pm
5:25 pm
problems. the allied pilots association, or apa, sent a letter outlining a number of what it calls problematic trends in the industry. they include tools left in airplane wheel wells and collisions between planes being tugged or towed at airports. >> we're saying that the space between error and incident is narrowing. it safe. but the things that we have, the personnel, the processes, the discipline to trap those errors
5:26 pm
and prevent these from happening are starting to run thin. >> for now. the union says most of the issues appear to be limited to united airlines, but could also affect american. just last month, united had several safety incidents involving its fleet of boeing planes, including a tire that fell off one during takeoff and one that rolled off the runway after touching down. >> dozens of health care workers in the north bay are on a one day strike today. workers at the marin health medical center are on the picket lines until 6:00 tonight. strike organizers are demanding better pay and say marin health is only offering uncompetitive pay raises of 2.5% to medical technicians. >> we're here to fight for a fair contract. the hospital has been very profitable, we support this community. we live in this community, and we want to be able to continue to live in this community and get fair wages in order to do that. >> organizers say they have had marathon bargaining sessions
5:27 pm
with the hospital over the last few days, including one that lasted nearly 12 hours. the union says the strike will end tonight to try to limit the impact on patients. the chief executive officer of marin health responded to the strike, saying in part, quote, we will continue active negotiations with the new w on the few remaining issues, primarily pertaining to compensation, to see if we can reach an agreement , we will make the necessary arrangements to ensure that there will be no disruption to the quality or availability of care they are accustomed to receiving. >> berkeley residents right now are voting to elect a new city council member. uc berkeley student cecilia luna parra and james chang are facing off in a special election for district seven, which does include the cal campus. today's election is to fill the seat left vacant by rigel robinson. he abruptly resigned from the council in january, citing harassment and threats from members of the public. >> protests outside and inside google offices in silicon valley and around the country today.

5:35 pm
delivered. i would hope that they would provide the security accommodations to allow her to speak and to feel comfortable to speak. >> i know that she still wants to speak, and that really isn't an issue on her concern, but at least on the university's part. seeing that security is potentially an issue, the university definitely has the means to accommodate that. so they definitely should. >> school officials insist its decision will maintain campus security and safety, and has nothing to do with freedom of speech. >> the berkeley unified school district superintendent will testify before a congressional committee next month over allegations of anti-semitism in her district, superinten monica ford, morthal, will join at least two other district superintendents at that committee hearing. a federal complaint was filed against the berkeley district, accusing it of failing to take action to stop the harassment of jewish students. >> the united states supreme court has denied a fremont woman's appeal over a buddhist temple. she built without a permit. the court declined to

out on the court shooting around right now. warriors and kings, they they split the season series. they each won two games. but the kings had the better record in the division, which is why they are playing here in sacramento. as you mentioned mike, the last time they were here, also an elimination game that was just shy of a year ago. game seven. in the opening round of the playoffs. and in that game, stephen curry, he put on quite a show. we remember it well. he hit seven three pointers, 50 points, eight rebounds, six assists. and the warriors won that game by 20 to advance to the next round, where they would face the lakers before bowing out to l.a. in the second round. here's what curry had to say on being back in this building for yet another elimination game. >> we understand what it's like in this type of environment. a must win scenario. you know, the history of last year with sacramento. so it's kind of
5:48 pm
ironic, just everything that was built up to that game. seven this is technically a game seven type environment in the same building. so we got to do it again. >> you go into into their arena. there fans want to like the beam and see us lose and beat the #### out of us. and they come in here. we want to beat the #### out of them. >> you know the warriors have been the hotter team. they have the second best record in the nba after only the boston celtics since the end of january. so they're playing very well. meantime the kings are down malik monk and kevin huerter. so they're shorthanded. but you know none of that really means anything in a one game series because de'aaron fox could get hot steph could get hot. so much could happen that it's really all about as mike brown just said. the head coach of the kings who will impose their will in a one game series. and warriors fans certainly hoping that it will be the warriors coming up in the 6:00 hour. we're going to hear from klay thompson, you know, if the
5:49 pm
warriors lose this game, could this be his last game in a warriors uniform. that's what folks are talking about. his contract is up and they might break up the core three. so we'll hear from klay thompson coming up in the next half hour. but from golden one center we're going to we're going to hear the roar. and feel the roar soon. but fans just trickling in at this hour. >> mike and julie yeah klay loves his boat too much. he's got to stay put so he can drive the boat across the bay. that's going anywhere. >> i'm with you julie i'm with you. it would be a sad day when you i mean steph klay and draymond have been together for so long that i think warriors fans would definitely be very bummed out if one of them left. >> now if they keep winning we don't have to talk about it. >> that's right. well we're not going to think about what happens next. we're going to just worry about tonight right now. all right jason thank you jason. well a two year campaign by the 49ers to launch their own custom california license plate is nearly complete. the team started a drive to raise money

5:52 pm
i just think it's amazing that you can have that in such close proximity to an urban city like san francisco. can you imagine if it was all homes? i mean, awesome homes if you owned one? but most of us wouldn't, and it was just a really good foresight, because that open space runs all the way up, runs all the way up towards muir beach, or almost to muir beach. so there's the high pressure, it's staying put. it's going to warm us up a little bit each day. is it going to get hot? no probably not. it's going to be upper 70s, low 80s as we play tag with clouds, a little coastal fog and then some higher clouds like we had today kind of coming in over the top of the ridge. it's a stable pattern. that's why we did have some fog this morning, but it's also when you get a lot of big storms out here, those high clouds i mentioned, the cirrus clouds, they come in over the top and it looks like weather's coming in, but it's just because the storms are spewing off so much cirrus up up north. so what i just say it's going to stay dry. it's going to be warm. it's just not going to get hot. these are the temperatures from today. some of them. and you can see it's just
5:53 pm
perfect really. if you think about it in terms of temperatures. temperatures go up tomorrow as you know talked about this earlier 73 today in santa rosa. so they go up six degrees, three degrees in san francisco to 69 and four degrees in san jose to 80. winds are what they're supposed to be. they're kind of out of the west northwest, actually. there's a northwest wind. see how the arrows going that's blowing from the north and towards the west. so it's a northwest wind. that's a northwest wind. and we got that's pretty typical for this time of year. that's what you expect to see. so that's why oftentimes i'll pull the winds up. just say go. yeah. the winds are going the other way. it'd be hot as heck. right. it would be that offshore flow. here are the current temperatures. they are running a little bit ahead of where they were yesterday. forecast overnight lows are going to be in the upper 40s and low 50s. so it's warming up overnight tomorrow morning. right there you can see the clouds. and then just that's this is the next couple of days thursday and friday, friday, thursday into friday there's a lot of clouds and that will kind of trim temperatures a little bit. so it gets a little cloudy thursday into friday. but overall a nice pattern. even on those days, temperatures will
5:54 pm
still be in the mid 70s in the warm spots. so just a good looking pattern. pretty good air quality. still, even though that high pressure is dominant, it will start to deteriorate a little bit. as you look at the five day forecast, you can see there that friday it cools off a little bit. but these are these are subtle, subtle changes. so it's not like there's some something staring us down that's going to be big. like we had a pretty interesting winter. but this is really easygoing stuff for us. i'll see you back here at six. >> all right. we'll see you then, bill. thank you. more fallout over the sudden closure of the federal women's prison in dublin. coming up tonight at six. a member of congress considers getting the house judiciary committee involved and new developments i th scott
