donald trump. we'll bring you the latest updates from the courtroom. and the key points from the defense and prosecution. plus, get on the ground. >> joining me now. >> get on your knees now. >> a lawsuit just announced it's a lawsuit just announced a short time ago against an east bay police department by a man who survived being shot by police. the accusations that department is now facing. and a key hearing is being held at this hour in san francisco, in both the

federal and state trial against the man convicted of attacking paul pelosi, the debate underway that could result in a second trial not happening tomorrow. >> this is ktvu fox two news at noon. >> good afternoon. i'm allie rasmus. >> i'm gasia mikaelian happening now. the man convicted of hitting paul pelosi with a hammer in san francisco just spoke in court saying he never meant to hurt the husband of the former house speaker. ktvu christian captain. live outside that federal court where christian, the judge, maintained that 30 year sentence she'd originally put in place. >> yeah, major developments today into perhaps two cases. remember, he's facing that federal case and a state case. now, depape will remain in prison facing that 30 year sentence in federal court. we're starting to get a clearer idea now also of how his state case will proceed. remember to face federal and state cases for the events that all unfolded in october of 2022. now, on may 17th of this year, just a couple of weeks ago, the judge initially sentenced to up to 30

years in prison. but in that sentencing hearing, she did not give him the opportunity to speak in his own defense. so in federal court today, depape addressed the court directly, saying about paul pelosi, quote, i never meant to hurt him and quote, i feel horribly for hurting mr. pelosi. he said. looking back, he can see he was not doing well and that he should have left the home when he found out that the former speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, was not there, depape read his statement from a piece of paper and appeared to break down, crying as he spoke slowly to the court. the judge said it was nice to hear from him, but she needs to consider a sentence that would deter any future attempts on the family members of public figures. the judge said that his defense team does have the right to appeal her 30 year sentence. meanwhile, as we said, depape also facing trial in califora state court and today, attorneys there debated over whether that trial should proceed to perhaps defense team in san francisco. superior court argued that he should not be charged twice for the same acts that that would amount to what

is called double jeopardy. the judge today deferring a ruling on that. so the state case will get underway tomorrow morning with opening statements and witnesses ready to take the stand again. that is the state case against depape. now, after the prosecution winds up, the judge will rule whether the jury should consider all of the charges or if there is some overlap with federal charges. that case, expected to run about two weeks now. we will have the very latest for you on that case and any developments in the federal case going forward, both on air and online. for now, we are live here in san francisco. christian captain ktvu fox two news christian. >> thank you. the san francisco district attorney's office has a new director of its victim services division. mayor london breed and other city leaders announced that ivy lee has been appointed to the role. she's a civil rights attorney. she was previously a legislative aide. the victim services division, or vsd, is in charge of supporting and educating crime victims about their rights and the services available to them. the agency helped more than 9600

victims of violent crime last year, a federal civil rights lawsuit has now been filed in connection to a pittsburgh police shooting that left a man wounded. >> the lawsuit was announced just minutes ago by attorneys for ashton porter. he was shot in 2022 after a long standoff at the hampton inn suites on california avenue in pittsburgh. police body worn camera video shows officers outside porter's hotel room. they were responding to a reported disturbance in his room, where a guest was heard screaming for help. an officer shot porter after he allegedly raised a knife in a threatening manner. his attorney, adante pointer, says porter was having a mental health issue. >> they abandoned those skills. they abandoned their training. they abandoned the trust that the community has placed in them and instead they employed escalation, deadly force and essentially terrorized the man and his family. >> the pittsburgh police department has not commented on that lawsuit. now to a

developing story out of san benito county, where an inmate has escaped san benito county sheriff's department says daniel lopez zavala climbed over a barbed wire fence at the correctional facility in hollister around 2:00 this morning. deputies have not found him. he was last seen wearing a brown jail shirt, orange pants and black shoes. anyone who sees zavala should call 911. >> oakland police are investigating a shooting and crash that left one person dead. police responded to a call about gunfire near 98th and macarthur boulevard, 11:00 last night. when they arrived, they found two cars involved in a crash at macarthur near durant, about a mile away. a person inside one of the vehicles was dead. it's unclear whether the death was caused by the crash or gunfire, but neighbors say the noise from the car crash woke them up. >> smoke everywhere. you know, from the impact. and people started showing up. not people that don't even live here were just showing up because it was so dark on loud. >> police are investigating the

incident as a homicide. they have not shared any information about what happened or the search for the person responsible. an update now out of emeryville. >> police say they've arrested a woman who stabbed a man in the neck outside chick fil a officers say the 35 year old oakland resident was booked into alameda county jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. police say it was an unprovoked attack last monday. the stabbing victim suffered minor injuries and is recovering. san jose police officers say they'll provide an update this afternoon on a woman's body that was found inside a home following a standoff. officers came to a house along north 20th street around 6:00 last night. they say a person inside a barricaded home there stayed inside for more than two hours. police eventually got the person to step outside without any trouble. right afterward, though, officers found the woman's body inside the home. officers say they're now treating this as a homicide. we'll bring you that update by police on ktvu.com. and of course, our evening newscasts. >> closing arguments are wrapping up for the day in the new york criminal trial of

donald trump. joining us now live from outside the courtroom in new york city is reporter rebecca castor. and rebecca, the goal of trump's defense attorneys was to diminish the credibility of michael cohen, trump's former lawyer and a central figure in the case. were they able to do that? during closing arguments today? >> ali, good to be with you. so trump's defense attorney had the difficult task of going first today. that is the standard here in new york for the prosecution to get the final word. so trump's attorney, todd blanch, had to try to guess what the prosecution, those main key points that they're going to try to drive home today once they give their closing arguments. so he tried to do that by undercutting michael cohen's testimony. he laid out several instances where he says that michael cohen lied on the stand, and he told jurors that they cannot convict trump based on michael cohen's testimony alone. >> what about the prosecution? what were their final points to the jury? >> so the prosecution's closing arguments are getting underway

right now. they told the judge earlier today that they expect to take at least four hours to make their final case. so we expect that they're going to take these jurors through the timeline of this case from start to finish, really highlighting those key points from the witness testimony and evidence that they believe proves that trump is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. >> what do you get a sense, rebecca, of which side has had the upper hand in the in recent weeks? >> so one of the advantages of the defense team here is that their case is a lot simpler to explain to jurors. the prosecution has a very difficult case to prove to these jurors based on a bunch of legal standards that they have to reach, and that jurors have to agree to find donald trump guilty. so there's a lot of legal jargon that those jurors have to find guilty for trump to get that guilty verdict. so that could be an advantage for the

defense team here by saying, hey, our case is more simple, it's easier to understand. so that's why you should side with us. >> and what are some of the possible outcomes here? >> so all 12 jurors have to agree for the judge to accept their verdict. so they have to weigh 34 felony counts against trump. so that could take some time. so if they are not able to reach that unanimous verdict, that's when we could see judge mershon possibly push for a mistrial. >> and then what would happen after that that things would have to start all over again? >> yeah. after that it's really up in the air. the district attorney's office could decide that they're going to start this trial again from the beginning, or they could decide that it's not worth it. and they don't know how they could prosecute this case any differently, and they could throw it out. >> all right. rebecca castor in new york city, thank you for that report.

>> what's known as one of the most dangerous train crossings in the state is here in the bay area. how lawmakers are drawing attention to what some consider a disaster waiting to happen, and what they're calling for. >> and vice president kamala harris, scheduled to come to the bay area for a fundraiser. we'll tell you when, where and how much it will cost you to get inside. >> then devastation on many levels across several states in middle america, with texas taking the biggest hit from severe storms, a closer look at the wreckage and the human toll, and what state leaders are promising there. >> across the bay area this afternoon, a mostly sunny skies, at least away from the coast, and temperatures very similar to yesterday. >> i'll have a look at what we can expect for the afternoon and the warmer weather in the extended forecast coming

happened at livermore lawrence lab. it says scientists have found a less labor intensive way to produce ammonia. now, usually you need high temperatures and intense pressure to produce ammonia. but researchers say they've now found a way to do it at room temperature with no additional pressurization. ammonia is a key product used in fertilizer and cleaning products . it is being researched as a possible alternative fuel to gasoline in a strong storm system that caused havoc across the south and midwest, is

sweeping over the east coast. >> take a look at all this damage left behind and debris that's yet to be cleaned up. we have new video now from pennsylvania that shows intense wind and a possible funnel cloud. the death toll continues to rise after storms tore through central and southern parts of the country over this memorial day holiday weekend. now, governors in texas, kentucky and arkansas are promising a fast recovery response. fox weather's max gordon outside dallas to show us the damage. it's a lot of loss. >> big loss. >> folks throughout the central us are assessing the damage tuesday after a series of deadly storms and tornadoes rolled through over the holiday weekend, destroying hundreds of homes and businesses across a number of states, including oklahoma, arkansas and kentucky. but hardest hit was texas, where one tornado killed at least seven people and injured 100 more. and here in the town of valley view, residents are dealing with near total devastation. >> i have never seen something like this. it was terrible. i couldn't conceive the strength

that it had. >> overall, at least 23 people died in these storms. some are dealing with the loss of multiple family members, people saying the wind and rain came on quickly, leaving them little time to evacuate. >> i was texting my sister that it was going to be okay. something's going to happen. and then we lost it and i didn't hear from them again. >> and that was the last time you spoke. >> that was the last time i spoke to her. >> officials are now trying to clear the debris and get life back to normal, but it won't be easy. arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders saying bluntly that this is not going to be a fast process. and while fema surveys the damage, texas governor greg abbott says his office is ready to get to work. they need your prayers. >> they need your support. and god willing, we will help them rebuild their lives as quickly as possible. >> folks here in northern texas are still dealing with severe weather, and forecasters say more rain is expected through the end of the week in sanger, texas. max gordon ktvu, fox two news when you see the

devastation like that, it makes us grateful that here in the bay area, we don't have to worry about extreme weather quite like that. >> rosemary oroczo, keeping us covered with what's happening with our much milder climate here. >> yes, you're right, we may. gray. i mean, that's about our complaint, right? and outside you can see over parts of the coastline. still plenty of gray sky. we will have mostly cloudy skies for our coastline today. and as we get into our inland cities, temperatures are going to be on the mild side once again. here's a look at storm tracker two, have a decent onshore breeze out there and that held temperatures down a little bit this morning. but at this time we're very much similar to where we were yesterday with the winds generally light. expect them to see an uptick as we typically do towards the afternoon. but right now fairfield reporting 16mph concord a light breeze but gusting to 20. oakland sustained at ten temperature wise within a couple of degrees for most of us from the north bay, the central bay and the south bay. santa rosa, one of the spots just a

little bit cooler. most areas are up by a couple of degrees, 57 degrees. right now in san francisco, we have upper 60s in walnut creek, upper 70s over areas of brentwood. so definitely a spring summer like pattern. overhead temperatures are expected to be at their coolest today, and then we begin to rebound as early as tomorrow. a look at the future cast here into the evening hours. sun will set right about eight 2825, depending on where you live, and just a little bit of cloud cover expected along the coastline. not going to see as much widespread cloud cover tomorrow morning. here's a look at wednesday, 6 a.m. as the time stamp reads. we've got the clouds along the coastline and just patches inside the bay, so may start out a little bit cooler, but by the afternoon, temperatures are expected to be warmer compared to the afternoon highs today. here's a look at the afternoon highs, where some of us will be right about average, others a little bit below san francisco, coming in at 60 for the second part of the day, 60 for oakland, where we have the giants and the a's

playing this afternoon, livermore at 78, right about where you should be, and san jose, 74 on the peninsula for today. redwood city at 72, one of our warmer spots for the afternoon, 80 degrees in antioch. temperatures will begin to rebound tomorrow, thursday, friday look to be the warmest days when our inland cities will be in the mid to upper 80s. although it doesn't last, we're going to cool it down a little bit. getting into the weekend. i'll have a look at the extended forecast coming up. >> rosemary, thank you. the white house today announced steps to modernize the country's aging electrical infrastructure. the new initiative between the feds and 21 states, including ours, aims to make faster fixes and improvements to the nation's power grid. it includes increasing the amount of energy from wind and solar and installing modern high voltage transmission lines. the biden administration says the initiative will help reduce power outages during extreme weather and lower energy costs, while tackling the climate crisis. >> money set aside in the state budget to fix a dangerous bay area train crossing has now been withdrawn because of the state's budget deficit. now, some

lawmakers are pleading with governor newsom to give that money back. they say it's needed to keep drivers and pedestrians on the peninsula safe. ktvu is amanda quintana shows us just how dangerous some of those train crossings can be. >> it's easy to see why this train crossing at broadway in burlingame is the most dangerous in the state. the tracks are sandwiched between two traffic lights, so if more than two cars are waiting at a red light, they end up backed up on the tracks. just like this white work truck. there you go. >> can you imagine that train hitting a car? >> well, it happens, and it's happened a lot. >> there have been 22 accidents here in the last decade, and the mayor's office says they're becoming more frequent. there have been seven since august of 2021, including one fatality. plans to fix this crossing have been in the works for more than 20 years. the california public utilities commission says this

is its number one priority. this is what the crossing could look like here in san bruno. they built an overpass to make it safer so that cars on the road don't have to go over the tracks . >> we've done our half. we need the state to do their part. >> the state budget did allocate 70 million to this project, but that money has been rescinded, along with 20 million to 2 similar projects in mountain view and palo alto. governor gavin newsom says his revised budget is tightening the state's belt to close this year's budget shortfall, and next year's projected deficit, while preserving key services. >> this funding cannot be lost. lives are really at stake. >> projects like this. this is now a $320 million project to fix this. so the money that we're talking about from the state today is less than one quarter of that. >> without the money from the state, the project also likely misses out on about $70 million in matching funds from the federal government. and this

project will need to be pushed back at least a year or two. and the price will go up. construction can begin on this project next year. >> in 2025, without the $70 million addition from the state that we were promised and committed a year ago, the likelihood of breaking shovels next year is slim to none. >> in burlingame. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> the vatican apologizing after the pope used a homophobic slur in a closed door meeting. how it relates to a discussion about a decision on openly gay men joining the priesthoo

dozens of countries are set to join ukraine at switzerland's peace summit in june. the goal of the summit is to outline a roadmap to end the conflict in ukraine, while a us official is scheduled to attend. president zelensky says mr. biden should also come to show the strength of us support. >> the united nations security council is holding a closed door meeting right now after israeli airstrikes over the weekend killed dozens of civilians. reporter trey yingst is in tel aviv, where the israeli military is offering an explanation for the tragedy. >> the israeli military continues to push deeper and deeper into rafah, trying to root out the remaining hamas fighters in gaza's southernmost city but around the world. criticism for israel's campaign against the militant group is growing louder. at least 45

people, including women and children, were killed sunday night at a camp housing displaced palestinians. images show a fire raging following israeli strikes that targeted two senior hamas officials. >> these terrorists were hiding underground, and it would appear that there were civilian casualties. we're looking into this. >> the israeli military now says the munitions used in their strikes were small and not intended to ignite the fire, going on to claim that it was caused by a secondary explosion. they're now investigating whether a fuel tank could be to blame. still, some israeli allies, including france, germany and spain, are condemning israel's continued incursion into rafah. and in the u.s, israeli support is continuing to splinter. >> we must note that there was two senior hamas leaders that was killed that actually will stop with some of the planning that went on that actually killed 1200 people on october 7th. this is ultimately accruing to the benefit, not the detriment of terrorist

recruiting. >> and that's my big worry here. there's a moral cost to the number of civilians that are dying inside of gaza. >> a national security spokesperson called the incident heartbreaking, adding that the united states is speaking with the israeli military to assess what exactly happened in tel aviv. trey yingst ktvu, fox two news, san jose state university is temporarily suspending one of its professors in connection to her involvement in pro-palestinian demonstrations. >> professor sang kil teaches justice studies. she posted on social media the school letter notifying her she's been placed on administrative leave for violating university policies, such as engaging in harassing and offensive conduct, the professor wrote. her fight for academic freedom will not stop, and she defended herself in that post today, pope francis has issued an apology for a homophobic slur in a closed door meeting. >> the pontiff is said to have made the remark while advising against training gay men for the priesthood. in 2005, the vatican

ruled the church cannot ordain openly gay men. pope francis upheld the ruling in 2016. the vatican says the pope never intended to use a gay slur to express himself, and that he extends his apologies to those who felt offended. >> vice president kamala harris is scheduled to be in san francisco next week for a fundraiser and conversation. manny's in the city says it plans to host the vice president to talk about the key questions voters are going, going, have going into the presidential election. the owner of the venue plans to host it in a larger space that will be announced at a later date. tickets to attend start at $500. philanthropist melinda french gates is making a big donation in support of women's rights. gates is donating $1 billion over the next two years to individuals and organizations working on behalf of women and families globally. that includes organizations in the u.s. that support women's reproductive rights. earlier this month, french gates announced she would step down from the bill and melinda gates foundation. she

vowed to focus on organizations that help women and families. she said she was motivated to make the donation, in part because of the racial gap in mortality rates for women. kicked out of their home with nowhere to go up next, the seniors who plan to make their voices heard later today after the power was shut off to their senior living apartment complex, may be older, but we're not stupid. >> a that's ow e're treat

says. under the proposed taxpayer protection act, any city or state tax increase would require support from two thirds of voters for approval. its backers say they want to stop government overspending, but the governor argues the proposition keeps the government from providing important services. he's asked the state supreme court to kill the proposition before it goes on the ballot. >> two thirds is a very, very difficult number for any community to be able to achieve this measure constitutes an unlawful revision so that it can't appear on the ballot. >> the state supreme court has to rule on this in the next few weeks. otherwise, voters in november will have the final say. >> state lawmakers are now considering legislation to protect firefighters from toxic chemicals. assemblyman matt

haney announced the legislation this morning at the state capitol. it bans the use of toxic chemicals known as pfas, in firefighter gear. that protective gear, the chemicals are used to make that protective gear, water and heat resistant. but officials say those chemicals have been linked to serious health effects, including cancer. cancer is the leading cause of death in firefighters. >> we have seen a terrifying and devastating increase in cancer among firefighters, 66% of the deaths of firefighters over the last near 20 years have been from cancer. it used to be that heart disease was the biggest killer of firefighters. now it is cancer. >> earlier this month, the san francisco board of supervisors unanimously passed a resolution to ban the use of pfas in protective gear for firefighters after the year 2026. >> it's been nine months since wildfires burned through the hawaiian island of maui, killing 101 people and leaving thousands displaced. as community efforts

to rebuild continue, a nonprofit is stepping up to provide financial resources for the people of maui. earlier on the night, we spoke with micah kane of the hawaii community foundation. he talked about the maui strong fund and the help it's received to help in the ongoing recovery. >> this is a very deep, broad and complex disaster, it's really affected more than 13,000 people in a in a very, dense place. and so, you know, i think the, the support that we've received from around the world has been, you know, providing people of, of, of maui, you know, some hope and the financial support that has been given specifically from northern california, has been tremendously helpful. >> the maui strong foundation has raised more than $100 million to support people who have been impacted and displaced by fire. kane went on to say more than 500 interim housing units are being built right now for those who lost their homes.

>> a group of low income seniors who've been forced out of their homes are expected to take center stage. at tonight's oakley city council meeting, ktvu zac sos spoke with some of the affected residents who say this isn't the first time they've had problems with the building. i'm just tired because i'm not used to not being at home. >> this is very upsetting for everyone. >> jackie ryder and around 50 other seniors temporarily being housed at the hampton inn after firefighters discovered this at their apartment complex in oakley. >> i wanted to throw up. i saw the pictures and thought i was going to pass out. it was so awful, gloria taylor says. >> crews were first called to oak grove senior terrace on sunday morning, and they opened the electrical room and that's where they found it was it was dripping with water, a clogged wastewater line causing sewage to back up into a vacant apartment and overflow, forcing power to the building to be shut down. >> i mean, and the smell was horrible, the situation prompting an immediate evacuation of the building

housing low income seniors. >> i got to go in ten minutes today to pick up stuff. initially, since it was red tagged, we could not go back in. they've been very, very helpful letting us in this. >> according to residents, not the first time the building has faced maintenance issues. >> they've had mold, real bad mold in an apartment in our building. >> they're slow on repairs. roaches in another building. >> we were in the newspaper for that one. >> for now, the building says it's housing residents at three area hotels, free of charge and providing partial credit towards their june rent, a $300 cash card and free meals round the clock security services also monitoring their apartments while they're away. in the meantime, volunteers from the community have staged a donation drive. >> everything started pouring in. i mean, even more than what we can use food, pet supplies, water heaters, clothes, the residents all too grateful but still worried about the state of their building.

>> these seniors deserve better. >> just because they're low income doesn't mean they need to live in squalor. >> we may be older, but we're not stupid and that's how we're treated lots of times. >> as for when they could be moved back in, building management says that could happen late tuesday or wednesday morning in oakley, zac sos. ktvu, fox two news. >> new numbers show californians are building more adus on their existing properties. new figures compiled by the bay area news group show 1 in 5 new homes was an accessory dwelling unit. almost 23,000 were built last year. the smaller homes are on existing properties can be rented out, used by other family members or as a bonus, living space for the family inside the current home. they tend to cost less than a new house, and many see them as part of the solution to our state's housing problems. more and more people are buying properties with their friends or family. this comes as the real estate market continues to become out of reach for many, as prices and interest rates remain high. according to zillow's housing trends report, 1 in 7 people bought a property with a friend last year, 1 in 10 bought

with a relative. the concept isn't new, of course. timeshares have been around forever, but experts find younger generations are more open to the idea of buying one fourth or even one eighth of a property to share, well, mold roaches in animal feces. >> a south bay couple claims that this is what they've had to live with. they're fighting what they call squalid conditions in their apartment. but the landlord's family says this is an example of squatters taking advantage of an elderly woman who was trying to help this couple. ktvu is jesse, gary tells us that the city of san jose is now investigating multiple times a week. >> demetrio lopez martinez spends his days struggling to maneuver his wheelchair around valley medical center in san jose. some days he comes for kidney dialysis, others to see a chiropractor. for whatever the reason, martinez, who only speaks spanish, never goes home. in between appointments. >> the problems started like becoming noticeable right after

we moved in. >> cell phone video gives a glimpse of what demetrio and his wife teresa elena alejandre, say they've dealt with since moving into this studio apartment on florida avenue in december 2020. two roaches under the cabinets, dog feces outside their kitchen window, no stove and no smoke or natural gas detectors either. all this renting for $1,650 a month. >> we rented this because we frankly didn't have another option on where to live, so that's why we rented it. >> they're low income, they're immigrants. they take what they can get. >> san francisco based attorney steven mcdonald is suing the property owner on behalf of demetrio and his wife. mcdonald says the landlord, ignacio marmolejo, illegally altered her home to include a studio apartment, then threatened the couple with eviction for reporting various problems. >> it's very common for a landlord who owns a single family home to try to augment their income by creating a

separate unit when nobody's looking, it's i think it's ridiculous. >> a single divorced woman, senior citizen living on a fixed income that's dealing with squatters, basically, that's that's exactly what it is. >> by phone from san diego, alex marmolejo concedes his mother didn't get the required permits before creating the apartment. but he says these pictures prove it was in pristine condition. when demetrio and his wife moved in. he says they're the ones that have created unsanitary conditions, then refused to leave and reported ignacio to the city as retribution. >> they never had an issue. everything was great for like the entire year that they lived there. no complaints from them about nothing. they never told us until the day when the city called my mom, the san jose building and code enforcement department says a code enforcement case was opened at the beginning of this year after the office received a complaint. >> the inspector found the unit is an addition to the home, legally constructed in 1985. however it was modified without

permits to include a full kitchen, bathroom and bedroom with electrical and plumbing code enforcement has ordered removing the apartment modifications or submitting applications for permits, and that, according to mcdonald, is why the couple has no stove. the marmolejo family says, and the city confirms there have been no fines for unlivable conditions at the apartment. the couple is still in the apartment as the lawsuit moves forward. the marmolejo family says they believe the entire process is tilted in favor of the renters. they say they're having a hard time hiring a lawyer to defend them. in this case, outside san jose city hall. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news if you're after the freshest produce in the first place to look is the farmer's market. >> how all five senses and the seasons come into play when it comes to getting the best bang for your buck. >> and across the bay area live look there sfo, where we have partly sunny skies overhead, a nice day across the bay area, a little cooler today, followed by
