in more than 20 years, convicted murderer scott peterson is speaking on camera about the death of his wife, laci, and their baby. a new documentary series looks at whether peterson killed his wife and their unborn child. abc news reporter suzanne vaughn is in the newsroom. suzanne. >> so, dan, for the first time since his conviction in 2004, we're hearing from scott peterson on camera. he's sitting in prison speaking over a grainy video call with the documentary series filmmaker, who is an investigative journalist. >> scott peterson was convicted of the murder of his wife. >> this was a beautiful, pregnant, missing woman in the new peacock original documentary face to face with scott peterson, we're hearing from the convicted murderer on camera. >> why should anyone want to hear your side of the story? >> because i didn't kill my family. a lot of people are tuning in to hear what peterson has to say. >> some ask, why now? >> why? i want to speak. i regret not testifying. i have a

chance to show people what the truth is and if they're willing to accept it. former prosecutor steve clarke followed the scott peterson case closely as a legal analyst. >> more than two decades ago, my reaction to scott's statements now is where was all this when you did have the chance to testify? >> you have to recognize that the innocence project has advanced the theory that scott peterson is innocent and that there are alternative theories to what happened to laci. >> peterson is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for killing his wife, laci and their unborn child, conner. he still denies that he did it. the documentary producer questioned peterson about his unusual behavior during the investigation that he came across unconcerned. >> they're saying it because i was unwilling for the first few weeks to go in front of a camera and give them the terrible emotions i was feeling.

>> the public later learned that peterson was having an affair with amber frey. clarke says peterson didn't act like someone dealing with a devastating loss because he did not come across as someone who was a widow who was someone who cared about losing his wife and child. in the docu series, peterson was asked if he killed laci because he didn't want to be married or he didn't want to be a father. >> that's so offensive. it's so disgusting. i just don't get that argument. >> peterson says he thinks about laci and conner often. he says there are times when he quote, becomes a wreck. the last comment from peterson on camera. he apologizes for becoming emotional, and some say peterson seems stoic during the investigation and trial. others say when he did show emotion, it didn't seem genuine. legal analyst stephen clark says peterson is not under oath. he's not being cross-examined right now. clark says we will have to wait and see if peterson is given a new trial. live in the newsroom suzanne phan abc seven news. >> suzanne, thank you. coming up

still have some time to enjoy the sun before that. it's a shaky view from sutro tower. but look at the visibility. it is unlimited. we are still dealing with the gusty winds, but we are keeping an eye on the trough to our north. this is what's going to deepen. it's an early system, early season system that is going to drive a front through here and on friday things are going to change rapidly. right now we do have clear skies across the region. as you look at live doppler seven temperatures in the 90s inland 60s coast side. that's about where we were today. gusty at sfo, 37 miles an hour. napa fairfield out towards the delta. it is breezy as well. and so if you are suffering from allergies, tree pollen is running. moderate elm trees are to blame. grasses, weeds, mold. they're pretty much low along the embarcadero. it is breezy. the next three days. cooling trend. friday we have drizzle and even a chance of showers and your weekend outlook will be brighter and warmer as we go. hour by hour. tonight at 7:00 if you want to step outside. still very beautiful. 9 p.m. 60 to 70 inland 50s at the coast. by

morning that fog returns and it will pull back to the coast for the afternoon. but you'll notice that it is cooler than today. your morning temperatures will be in the 50s and the 60s. watch out for that fog. tomorrow afternoon we'll go with 80s inland 60s coast side. that's just the start of the changes to come on friday. that system comes in, the drizzle will begin the morning, and then here comes some showers that will be moving through, mostly in northern california, but we're going to see some showers reach as far as the northern part of our viewing area. and that means we're talking measurable precipitation. so a few hundredths for the southern and eastern part of the bay area. but ukiah up to 40/200 of an inch. here's your accuweather seven day forecast. keep the shades handy the next couple of days, but you may need those umbrellas on friday. sharply cooler sweater weather coming your way, at least away from the inland communities. and then for the weekend, we'll bring in the warmth, and then we'll bring in the heat early next week. ama and dan roller coaster. yeah.

>> homeless people are being swept from one neighborhood into another. and what i am proposing is standing up the shelter beds that we need, creating the facilities to address the behavioral health crisis that we are experiencing and ultimately, that is a solution that has is going to have lasting impact. >> the supervisor and mayoral candidate laid out this plan in the mission district, joined by a few community leaders. peskin has been on the board of supervisors for almost 20 years. he claims mayor london breed is to blame for the current state of the homelessness epidemic. we reached out to the mayor's office and the other candidates for mayor, but we haven't heard back yet. breed is currently at the democratic national convention, but earlier this month, she said the city has seen progress in finding housing for long time. san franciscans who are facing homelessness at the end of july, she was ready to implement governor newsom's executive order, pushing cities to remove encampments and get people into housing. >> we're excited about what this is going to do, and we're hopeful we make it so uncomfortable for people that they accept our offer. that's

what this is about. >> supervisor peskin is against encampment sweeps and proposes buying empty properties in the city and converting them to shelters. he also wants to consolidate the many nonprofits and city departments into a more central agency, with nine different city agencies, 248 nonprofit service providers. >> very tangled web that i think can easily be untangled. >> a plan he hopes will improve the city if voters elect him in san francisco. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> parking restrictions and towing threats have led to stable housing for many people living in rvs on san francisco's winston drive and zoo road. the city has placed more than 20 families in permanent housing. all of them are former rv residents who parked on winston drive until the city implemented a four hour parking limit for a repaving project. many then moved to zoo road, but were told to move or get towed. city staff offered them financial vouchers that made it easier for them to afford housing, and they accepted. >> this is a time limited rental

subsidy program, so the family or individual will pay 30% of their income towards the rent and the subsidy makes up the rest. >> so far, 21 families have been relocated through the program and organizers say there are still others going through the process. >> the future of grocery shopping is already showing up on store shelves in the form of electronic price tags. you may have seen them. experts say they could both help and hurt consumers. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley explains the potential as digital price tags are even becoming political. >> food prices have shot up over 20% in recent years, something economists say was rooted in the disrupted pandemic supply chain. now there is new technology in the world of grocery shopping in the form of digital price tags replacing paper and ink tags and signs. walmart says in the coming year, they'll be rolling out the new tags in over 2300 stores. other grocery chains

already have them, and others are likely to follow suit. the new price tags can be quickly updated by stores via a mobile app. vice president kamala harris voiced her concerns at a campaign stop last week over price gouging in grocery stores. >> senator warren and casey have actually sent a letter to kroger ceo with a list of questions they're very concerned about the idea of surge pricing on food, the prices could change based on availability. it could be based on, you know, it's a hot summer day. so the price of water might be increased. so there's a lot of pros to it for the store and a lot of cons for it for the consumer. >> stores pledged to not use surge pricing. walmart said in an online article. this efficiency means we can spend more time assisting customers and less time on repetitive tasks. >> it's going to reduce the

labor quite a bit, and that's why i think it makes sense from the retailers point of view. >> the president of the local food and commercial workers union told abc seven news. digital price tags are another direct attempt to reduce the hours of grocery store clerks who are already struggling for enough hours for consumers. dynamic pricing and competition could potentially decrease some prices. >> i can see retailers using this to, you know, lower prices. for example, if there is expiry on the food products or on produce and fruit, then you could equally lower the prices. >> what's certain is digital tags are poised to pop up in many stores in the year ahead. in the east bay. i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> coming up next, a lesson in selfie control. can you believe we need it? apparently we do. when it comes to getting

pict what's the definition of character to you? umm... would you be a superhero or a supervillain? if you could say one thing to big tobacco, what would it be? it's so important in this time of change that we reclaim our sacred ways. i had to open my eyes. you can't continue to do this. deep breath. i'd want to ask them “why?” (♪)

i'll say what city hall insiders won't. we have a drug, homelessness, and economic recovery crisis, because the system that's supposed to fix things is the problem. record budgets. fewer officers. business killing bureaucracy. the insiders won't change a system built for their benefit. i'm daniel lurie and san francisco needs a mayor unafraid to take on the status quo, bring accountability, and stop the excuses.

day. oakland fog to sun and mild 74. you will notice average temperature is about 82 in san jose. you're going to be right about there. and warm and sunny in walnut creek. 84 degrees but cooler than today. on live doppler seven. pretty quiet weather. the fog is going to expand. we're going to notice the cool down tomorrow. 60s coast side, 80s inland. as we head into thursday. temperatures drop off some more and by friday i mean well below average. when you have 60s and 70s almost going to feel like late fall, the accuweather seven day forecast will show you the cooling trend the next few days, and by friday we bring in drizzle even a chance of some showers. best chance in the north bay certainly will turn things around over the weekend, and that heat will be building each and every day into early next week, when triple digits show up. so looking. wow. yeah. back to summer. ama and dan. >> all right. one last punch. >> yes. thank you. >> all right. sports director larry beil is here with some football news talking forty-niners christian

mccaffrey. >> not the biggest, not the fastest guy in the world, but he is the most dangerous running back in the nfl. and coach kyle shanahan thinks he knows why. an explanation of an all football all the time we have a drug, homelessness, and economic recovery crisis, because the system that's supposed to fix things is the problem. record budgets. fewer officers. business killing bureaucracy. the insiders won't change a system built for their benefit. i'm daniel lurie and san francisco needs a mayor unafraid to take on the status quo, bring accountability, and stop the excuses.

if you have heart disease and struggle with ldl-c... even with statins and a healthy diet... listen to your heart. talk to your doctor about repatha. repatha plus a statin lowers ldl-c (bad cholesterol) by 63%, and drops the risk of having a heart attack. do not take repatha if you are allergic to it. repatha can cause serious allergic reactions. signs include trouble breathing or swallowing or swelling of the face. most common side effects include runny nose, sore throat, common cold symptoms, flu or flu-like symptoms, back pain, high blood sugar, and redness, pain, or bruising at the injection site. talk to your doctor about repatha.

i got to do my own props, you know, stuff here. but supposedly one last issue to be resolved. they could be like this close, but we're less than three weeks away from opening night against the jets. niners. jets monday night football here on abc seven. and everybody around the league is just confused as to like, why is this taking so long? there's the hope expectation that it might get handled this week. as for christian mccaffrey. well he's not a robot, but it sometimes looks like one on tv. he's out with a calf injury. the assumption is that mccaffrey will be ready for week one. he set career highs in rushing yards and touchdowns last season. led the league in both. he won the offensive player of the year award and finished third in the mvp voting. head coach kyle shanahan says he's pretty sure that mccaffrey is thinking about football every waking moment, perhaps even during his wedding this summer. >> when you're hurt, you're hurt. you can't go. but when you take every rep, every walkthrough, everything you do, you're just so deliberate in everything. when he's probably walking down the aisle to get married, he's probably thinking about his feet and how to do routes. no offense to olivia,

but, it's he's obsessed with it. and so when you do get in these situations where you do get hurt and you can't go do all that stuff, at least he's put the work in before the olivia that he was mentioning is olivia culpo, the actress who christian married this summer. >> as for the jets, aaron rodgers says this has been his toughest training camp in a while. coming back from a torn achilles that he suffered in just the fourth snap of the jets first game last season. also, because head coach and former niners defensive coordinator robert saleh is really pushing them, i would say the camp is much harder this year and maybe the hardest in the last 7 or 8 of my career, i knew that i had a little insight coming into camp. >> that's what robert wanted to do, so i think it's been good for us. >> baseball news the saint louis cardinals released 37 year old brandon crawford today. the forever giant was hitting just 169 in 28 games. giants fans were hopeful that crawford would last with the cardinals until

the final series of the season at oracle park. and now we'll see if maybe somebody else gives him a chance and picks him up, or he hangs him up. but you've got to be on an active roster by august 31st in order to be eligible for the playoffs. the giants remain on the fringes of the wild card race, hosting the white sox tonight. and that's in part because third baseman matt chapman hit his 20th home run of the season last night. he's got an outside outside shot at 30. if he gets hot in the final month. plus we get like six weeks left. he'd become the first giant to hit that many home runs since barry bonds 20 years ago. but who knows if the giants are going to make a significant playoff run? its defense like you're seeing right there that will lead the way. >> you know defense can win ball games just as much as swinging the bat. so it's nice to see, you know, if we want to, you know, make this run and get in the playoffs and make a run in the playoffs. you got to be able to play defense because that's, you know, pitching and defense is what's going to take you there. >> he's right. sports on abc seven sponsored by smart and final. just circling back to

christian mccaffrey i'll let you guys decide if you think that this is over the top. but his dad was a pro football player played for the niners. broncos. he used to take christian out of high school at lunchtime to make sure that he had an i.v. to get ready for the game that night, so he wouldn't be dehydrated. also advised christian that when you go outside, always take sunglasses because you do not want to expend any energy squinting. you must save every ounce of energy for the football game. >> the first i might understand it, that second one too much, so it's a little odd. anyway i'm so tired now, i've never really felt worn out after squinting. yeah i'm sorry. all right. tonight on abc seven at seven, the democratic national convention at eight is back to back episodes of celebrity family feud at ten. wheel of fortune, followed by jeopardy! then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. but that is it for us, for now. thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for cindy patel,

larry beil, all of us here. >> we appreciate your time. we'll leave you now with another live look at the democratic national convention going on in chicago. michelle lujan grisham, the governor of new mexico, we have a drug, homelessness, and economic recovery crisis, because the system that's supposed to fix things is the problem. record budgets. fewer officers. business killing bureaucracy. the insiders won't change a system built for their benefit. i'm daniel lurie and san francisco needs a mayor unafraid to take on the status quo, bring accountability, and stop the excuses. when we're young, we're told anything is possible... ...but only a few of us go out and prove it. witness the greatness of anna hall on a connection worthy of gold: xfinity mobile. only xfinity gives you the most powerful mobile wifi network,
