money trial in new york. and with that, we say good afternoon . thanks for joining us. >> i'm larry biel and i'm kristen sze. let's begin with that scott peterson hearing in redwood city today. attorneys from the la innocence project argued for additional dna testing on evidence they believe is connected to the murders of peterson's wife, laci, and their unborn son, connor. >> i-team reporter dan noyes was in san mateo superior court here with the latest on the hearing, which is still going on. right. >> that's right. larry and kristin, you know, the defense is pushing for more investigation and new dna tests. but prosecutors say they got it right the first time and that laci's family has a right for this case to be finished once and for all. the director of the los angeles innocence project gave an hour and 20 minute rapid fire argument that scott peterson deserves to have the deaths of his wife, laci, and their unborn son. connor in 2002 investigated further. >> no murder weapon was found, no time or even date of death was established, no cause and manner of death were ever
4:01 pm
established. there were no eyewitnesses implicating mr. peterson. the evidence against him centered almost entirely on conjecture over possible motive. >> peterson now 51 years old, watched from mule creek state prison, where he's serving life without the possibility of parole. his lawyers say favorable daetz dna evidence would change the outcome of the trial, and they called for new dna testing for target bag wrapped in duct tape, found near the spot where laci and conner's bodies were found, and they want new dna testing of a blood stain on a mattress from a van set on fire in modesto, two days after laci disappeared. no evidence connecting that case to peterson at this point. >> the bottom line is that that mattress really needs to be tested just thoroughly, completely tested. is there anything on it or not? we don't know. >> a special prosecutor from stanislaus county who worked the first scott peterson case said dna testing done on that mattress in 2013 found only male blood. he said the murder case has been adjudicated fully.
4:02 pm
>> we're not just talking about the first motion. we're not even talking about the stipulation. we're talking about. this is the third bite at the apple that the defendant is asking this court to address. >> harris focused the hearing back on peterson and his litany of lies. he told new girlfriend amber frey in the weeks before his pregnant wife disappeared. >> the defense has never explained how mr. peterson was able to tell people that this would be his first holiday. back in that christmas, his first holiday without his wife. >> harris also said the defense never explained why peterson was researching tide charts for san francisco bay. and then weeks later, laci and conner's bodies were found in that same location, repeated lie after lie after lie after lie of this defendant. >> during the investigation of all of these different things that dealt with the disappearance of his wife and unborn son. >> and i just heard from our abc
4:03 pm
producer inside the courtroom, the arguing is still going on. the hearing is happening right now. but we do know that two items that the defense wanted to be tested, dna tested, have already been destroyed. so clearly more to come on this. larry. >> kirsten, look, i know people have strong opinions on this. i mean, this is the scott peterson case, but what is the downside? just to play devil's advocate, what's so wrong with just having the dna tested? well, really, it's two points. >> i mean, number one, they did more dna testing just in 2013 and up into 2019 as well. but also think about lacey's family. they have to keep on reliving this again and again. the more the scott peterson brings this up. so you know, the prosecution's saying, look, we did this right. we did it right the first time. and there's ample evidence to convict. and this will be decided either today or tomorrow, most likely. >> yeah, probably tomorrow. >> it's looking like as we heard that it's still going on right now. so probably tomorrow. but we'll we'll keep up on it. >> all right. thanks for keeping us posted dan. thanks >> all right. >> david depape, the man who invaded nancy pelosi's home and attacked her husband in court
4:04 pm
again today to face state charges, including attempted murder. he apologized yesterday for attacking paul pelosi two years ago, but that did not sway the federal judge. depape was sentenced to 20 years for attempting to kidnap nancy pelosi and 30 years for the assault on paul pelosi. that is the maximum sentence for both counts. >> former president donald trump has been in and out of a new york courtroom as the 12 person jury deliberates in his criminal hush money trial. today was the first day of jury deliberations. around noon, the jury asked to have testimony reread to them from national enquirer publisher david pecker and ex-trump fixer michael cohen, and then asked to rehear jury instructions to. trump faces 34 charges alleging he paid off a former actress to hide a sexual relationship ahead of the 2016 presidential election. women who accuse sean diddy combs of sexual assault may soon share their claims with a federal grand jury. cnn reports that federal investigators are preparing to have them testify, signaling the

a special city council meeting is underway in oakland to analyze mayor shinto's latest budget, a proposal that's facing criticism among some residents. >> fiscal disaster. >> fiscal disaster. fiscal >> the campaign to recall mayor tao held a rally before the meeting. they claim the mayor and the city council have mismanaged the budget, and they say selling the city's part of the oakland coliseum to close a $360 million budget shortfall is shortsighted. >> they need to stop defunding this city. they need to stop defunding the police and they need to focus on bringing businesses back to the city. >> several employee unions have come out in support of mayor tao's budget. it calls for a hiring freeze, but does not include layoffs or any permanent city employees. tao said there would also be no reduction in city services in east oakland. >> more than five months after an apartment fire damaged a building, some tenants there are still dealing with the aftermath. >> they say that includes
4:07 pm

4:08 pm
can happen again, i don't know if we would be without power sometime soon. >> tenants say all 18 units of the building were without power and hot water for a month after the fire. during that time, tenants say they spent thousands of dollars and out of pocket expenses. they claim their complaints went unanswered for months. they're now suing for reimbursement and breach of contract. >> the landlord has committed a lot of violations of the warranty of habitability. he's violated the tenant protection ordinance and quite frankly, just based on common sense. he left the tenants with no housing for weeks. >> the landlord did not return requests for comment, but the lawyer for the tenants say the landlord has agreed to meet on friday like he requests his rent monthly. >> and i pay for it monthly, i request my unit to be up to code. tenants rights groups say the city of oakland's policies are partly to blame for their problems as well. >> they claim properties are not routinely inspected, and that the city's complaint based code enforcement program makes
4:09 pm
tenants vulnerable to retaliation. >> the city that is light years away from having a proactive rental inspection program that could prevent these issues from happening to begin with, the city of oakland did not return our request for comment. >> in oakland, anser hassan, abc seven news. >> details are coming out about that toxic gas that made kids sick at a san bruno elementary school last week, about 20 kids experienced irritated eyes, noses and throats when riot gas blew from a san francisco sheriff's training exercise to the school about a mile away. the san francisco chronicle is reporting some of the chemicals were 60 years old and expired, the sheriff's department tells abc seven news. it's common to use old chemical canisters for training and usually older chemicals are less potent. >> coming up on abc seven news at 4:00 i central. it's big business, big bucks. but it could also help build a better bay area paper or paper. the true end of the line for plastic bags could be just around the
