6:03 am
lights this morning. all right, gianna. another live look outside on this friday morning. there you see the bay bridge, what a beautiful day it is becoming as the sun is coming up over on to the bay. jessica burch, good morning. how are things looking today and for the weekend of course? >> you know, today versus this weekend, completely different. what i mean by that is we're still sitting above average as we head into this afternoon. once we head into this weekend's forecast, things cool off quick and we see the cloudy skies return into the forecast this beautiful sunrise behind me is going to look a lot more may gray and june gloom. now this weekend's forecast right around the corner june gloom and along the coast too with some drizzle in the forecast anywhere from pacifica all the way down into half-moon bay. and right back up into goad baa gay. but as we head into next week, don't get too alarmed. this cooldown that we have heading so this weekend, it's a short-lived one. really what's happening is we're just seeing low pressure dive its way down bringing in some cloudy skies and heading into our weekend forecast. and then we shoot right back up into the 90s off in the east bay. heading into mid next week. but that's next
6:04 am
week. let's take a look at what's happening for us today. because some of the spots are actually hitting the 90s today just like yesterday. for example, all the way over into antioch 92-degrees this afternoon. 60s still along the coast and the peninsula and i mean upper 50s just near half-moon bay. look at the contrast that we have all throughout the bay area. napa in the 70s today. we have 80s down into the santa clara valley. and as we e head along the coastline it's cooler and breezier and only holding on tight to the 50s and we will cool down this weekend gearing up for the dress and clouds allthroughout the bay and the sunshine heading into early next week. over to you. this was a disgrace. this was a rigged trial by conflicted judge who was corrupt. >> former president donald trump not mincing words moments after his historic conviction in new york. trump denounced the verdict finding him guilty in connection with a hush money payment. the former president was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide reimbursements to his former fixer michael cohen.
6:05 am
cohen paid adult film star stormy daniels $130,000 in the runup to the 2016 election. the money was to keep quiet about the alleged sexual encounter with trump that took the seven men and five women on the jury just under 12 hours to reach the guilty verdict. >> only voice that matters is the voice of the jury. and the jury has spoken. >> up next for the former president in the case, the judge set trump's sentencing for july 11th four bays before the republican national convention. he faces up to four years in prison but could be given probation with no prison time. we spoke with rory lit trillion the uc college of law who tremendous it will end in probation and fines. >> i think the importance of the trial is that it happened at all. the judge did a very good job of keeping this case on a calm, sort of nondramatic level. he tried it pretty slowly and carefully. the jurors paid attention according
6:06 am
to all reports. and it didn't take them very long to reach a unanimous verdict here. >> this was the only case now pending against former president trump. that's likely to end in a verdict before election day. and is believed that he cannotlegally pardon himself if he is elected president in november. so gianna, no surprise here there's been so much reaction. yesterday and continuing today. nationally and of course here in the bay area as well. >> yeah. lot of things people want to say about this. and we wanted to get your thoughts of course and see what you think after the jury came down with the decision. we hit the streets of san francisco to hear from some of you. >> i'm exstatic to be honest with you. it's a long time coming. serves him right. and i would also go as far as to say that i would like to see everyone who voted for him convicted for aiding and abetting. >> i will vote for trump more is than i ever thought i would but the democrats, what biden is doing to our country, is shameful. >> we also heard from the
6:07 am
chairman of the contra costa republican party. he says this might activate more moderate republicans who believe the whole trial was a misuse of the judicial system. >> i would not like to see this type of prosecution taken on against an ex-democrat president either. it's just -- it's -- it's a sad day for our legal system. >> well, trump's conviction may actually be helpful him raise money and now he's hitting the campaign trail. and he's coming here to san francisco. next week for a fundraiser. andrea nakano talked with a political expert with what we can expect now from the former president. >> this was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge. >> reporter: a guilty verdict may have been a big win for donald trump's pocketbook. donations started flooding into mr. trump's win red website, causing it to crash. the republican candidate for president also giving his constituents a chance to win an autographed maga hat in return for a donation.
6:08 am
>> they believe that this is red meat. and dark liquor thrown to their constituency, i mean, it's right up their alley because they know they can raise money from this and they can develop some momentum. >> reporter: david mccuan is a chair of political science at sonoma state university. he says that momentum will carry over to the fundraising event in california. >> california is the atm of the nation when it comes to politics. >> reporter: while california leans left, mccuan says that's not what matters. >> it's not just a blue state. it's a red state. it's a green money state. it's a dollar state. look, elon musk may be here and all over the world, and maybe intergalactic, but he and his friends give a lot of money. >> reporter: while cash is king in a presidential campaign, donald trump needs to win over a key segment of voters, especially in swing states such as pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. it's the undecided that he's targeting across the country. >> purple people we call them. the purple people are a little bit blue and a little bit red
6:09 am
and they're not sure what to do and we know there's a segment of the electorate that is -- won't vote for a felon. >> reporter: so while the money may be flowing in for now, it may be too early to tell how his conviction and possible sentence will affect fundraising in the long-term. >> so i think this gives you an idea of the strategy of donald trump and his team. they're going to use today's verdict to open things up and go on the offense. they're not going to sit home and lick their wounds. not just talk to the faithful. they're going to open up the map and be everywhere all at once and they're going to have the resources to do that. >> well, former president trump is expected to hold a press conference at trump tower this morning. you can catch that right here on cbs news bay area and for all of our coverage on this historic verdict, you can head to our website, kpix.com. gianna, time now for a look at this morning's other top stories. protesters against the war in gaza are facing off with law enforcement officers at uc santa cruz. these are scenes from just before 2:00 this morning. chp officers in riot

6:32 am
is the voice of the jury. the jury has spoken. >> reporter: in a statement the attorneys for michael cohen called the verdict a testament to his credible. during the trial and it was alacked l night. >> they looked past what we thought were fatal flaws in mr. cohen's story and his past. and they reached a guilty verdict. >> reporter: with the fight out of the courtroom for now, former president trump turned to politics. attending a fundraiser last night after his guilty verdict. this conviction putting an unprecedented spin on the presidential election. >> the real verdict is going to be november 5th by the people. >> reporter: the trump campaign almost immediately pushed fundraising messages. claiming he's a political prisoner. president biden's campaign also fundraising with a message, there's still only way to keep donald trump out of the oval office. at ballot box. trump's sentencing is scheduled for july 11th, just four days before the republican national convention. and let's
6:33 am
talk about this sentencing. what could this actually look like for former president trump? there's the possibility that there could be fines attached to this. as well as probation and maybe even time behind bars and prison time. four years for each one of thesecounts. legal experts have been telling us that it is possible but not necessarily likely that the former president will spend any time behind bars because of number of factors including the fact he doesn't have a criminal record and also that he -- that the nature of these white collarcrimes again we'll have to wait and see on july 11th. >> assuming probation would be most likely. well, we appreciate you hopefully get some rest this weekend. have a great weekend. thank you. well, former president trump is scheduled to make a stop in the bay area next week. tech investor david sacks is hosting a presidential fundraiser at his pacific heights mansion. it's happening next thursday, donors will need to fork out over at least $50,000. that's just to get in. now as we mentioned the

6:35 am
overall. shawn? all right, let's take a live look outside on this friday morning. there we can see the clouds all around the city there but it has been really a beautiful start to our friday. we know things are going to be changing a little bit on the weekend and then getting hot again and of course jessica burch in the weather center tracking it all for us. >> it's literally like a roller coaster, guys heading into this weekend. it cools off just a bit. cloudy skies. and then we shoot right up into the upper 90s heading into next week. but we're not there just yet. and i should also add it's not upper 90s everywhere of course we know the compost and our inland areas experience such a different setup when it comes to this summer -- almost summer season. now as we take a live look this morning from our mark hopkins hotel cam we are reminds it's beautiful and sunny and we havethe best weather here in the country. from out of town, a cool start. but later today in the inland areas that's where some 90s in the forecast for us and mostly upper 80s and heading into this weekend, that's all going to start to average out. we're waking up this morning with
6:36 am
light winds by the way. light gusty conditions into this afternoon. close to san francisco. with a wind gust anywhere up to around 20 to 25 miles per hour. but for the most part itstayings light in the inland areas and just at times close to around 5:00 p.m. we can get that wind gust anywhere up to around 15, 20 miles per hour in our inland areas. so let's take a quick look at the inland areas, daytime highs today 70s and 80s anywhere from vallejo down into concord. we hit the 90s this afternoon just like yesterday off into concord. excuse me, antioch actually. and along the coastline we're holding only tight to upper #s near half-moon bay with the breezier conditions there. as we make our way down along 101 from redwood city down into san jose, we're holding on tight to the 80s this afternoon. and los gatos and san jose. it's beautiful and it's warm like i said we cool down this weekend. with a big warm-up into next week. shawn? thank you. time now for a look at this morning's other top stories. some sad news to report from the basketball world. san jose native and archbishop mitty alum drew gordon died yesterday in car accident in portland, oregon. he played briefly for the

6:38 am
budget also includes $3.7 million for new technology including drones and surveillance cameras. as well as money to help the sheriff's office boost its staffing levels and continued investment in community safety ambassador. the mayor says the city -- city's crime rate right now is the lowest it's been in ten years. but lauren toms spoke to those people whose perception doesn't line up with those numbers. >> i put the chicken wire on. keep them from, you know, not being able to get through the glass and i have the little device over that so they can't grab the hook and then if they get past all that and they try to open the door, and they're able to disengage it, it's going to hit that bar. and they won't be able to open it. >> reporter: ken wicker never intended to become known for installing this contraption that locks garages. a common target of property crimes. >> i never did this for the business. i just did it to make the neighborhood safer. >> reporter: since the start of the pandemic, the richmond
6:39 am
district has become a hotbed for robberies, particularly through garages. ken nearly became a victim himself. but along with his son quinn, they've teamed up to help more than 200 of their neighbors protect their own homes. >> he would do the the drilling and i would get up on a ladder and do that stuff. and then -- any given night in the richmond district, there is a van driving around this neighborhood casing for crime. >> reporter: according to new crime stats from sfpd, property crime is down across the city 32% so far this year. in the richmond, it's down nearly 4%. but that's a far cry compared to areas like the northern district, which covers alamo square up through pacific heights and the marina, where property crime is down a whopping 38%. according to the city, violent crime is down 14% and gun violence is down 37%. and while these numbers show improvement, ken says demand for their business remains steady. receiving at least six calls a month. >> you know, i don't know about statistics. all i know is that
6:40 am
