of one of california's most well-known murder cases in recent history, is back in court as lawyers for the la innocence project make their case today. why, they say scott peterson deserves a new trial. and the key piece of evidence they're pointing to. plus. the music has stopped for now. for one bay area band, their gear stolen and their tour van gone. hear from the members who say they hope this unfortunate event doesn't deter other bands from ktvu. >> fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning, i'm gasia mikaelian and good morning i'm dave clark. >> it is wednesday. it's may 29th. you're ready for wednesday. >> i'm ready for this warm up. all right. >> it's coming. steve paulson says it's like waiting for a sneeze. >> i like that it's on its way today and tomorrow. then we'll start to back off again. 40s, 50s on the temps. it won't take long if you get that northerly breeze, especially out to the valley. there's still a teeny

bit of fog. parts of the san mateo coast more down towards santa cruz. capitola. but that that that's going to disappear pretty fast. and so. oh, the warm feeling for a majority today as temperatures jump up a little bit. nothing crazy. i mean we're really just looking for a lot of 80s here, maybe near 90 tomorrow. stinson beach, pescadero pleasure point 6070 calistoga, antioch, los gatos low to maybe mid 80s. all right. sal is here. have i told you lately? you're my favorite, my friend, you know what? i've always, always wanted to work with someone like you, steve. >> oh, thank you, sir. >> hahaha. that was a good one, you know what? right now. and you knew that there would be days like this, we do have a heavy traffic out there on westbound bay bridge. we also do have slow traffic on highway 101 because of a truck crash northbound 101 early this morning. in about three in the morning, a truck carrying 40,000 pounds of strawberries ended up flipping over on the ramp. and that's causing a delay in san jose on 101 and also on 880.

here are live pictures of the truck being offloaded. it was carrying 40,000 pounds of strawberries. they have to get the strawberries off the truck and then right it, and then they're going to reopen the ramp. this is probably going to be for the entire morning commute. going to be an issue here. 280 is your alternate route. and what happened to the strawberries you say? well, there they are. unfortunately they're a total loss. north seven 101 at 701, not 7101701. let's go back to garcia, sal. >> thank you. happening today, convicted killer scott peterson will get another chance in court to prove he did not kill his wife and unborn baby. a judge's decision on new dna testing could make or break the argument to give him a new trial. ktvu james torres in studio here, doing a good job of breaking down what lawyers are going to argue in court this morning. >> garcia lots to it. we try to break it down for you. we expect peterson to appear in court via zoom call or video call. rather, this is where lawyers defending

peterson say dna testing of evidence never done before needs to be done, because it could prove two major theories in the case one, that laci was alive beyond when scott was convicted of killing her, and two, she was possibly abducted and killed by someone else. they're calling for dna testing and retesting of a few items, but more notably, they want testing on a mattress found inside a burned van spotted across the street from the peterson's modesto home. that van may have been part of a home burglary of peterson's neighbors, and they argue it could be connected to her disappearance. l.a. lawyers say the grounds of their argument come from a number of witnesses who say they saw laci walking her dog, and even saw her interacting with those burglars after those prosecutors say she was killed, what witness went as far as saying on the record he saw the burglars push a pregnant woman into the van. the lawyers say that witness called in the crime, but it was never investigated enough. and they say they argued. detectives with the modesto police department either didn't do enough to vet the witness accounts or just flat out ignored those accounts,

passed dna testing on the van did find some human dna, but these attorneys are asking new testing reveal the identity of who that dna belongs to in its motion, the lapd wrote, quote, the results of the requested dna testing could help identify the actual perpetrators of the crimes for which scott peterson was convicted and or provide leads to other suspects. days after lacey's disappearance, modesto police did announce that they were clearing the two suspected burglars of having any involvement in the laci case. prosecutors, those trying to keep peterson in prison say this is all brought, or rather, all the points brought up by the lapd are all hearsay and all the evidence that they brought up was enough to win a conviction. they argue many people in the neighborhood could have been seen walking their dogs, and they could all fit lacey's description. today's hearing in redwood city is expected to start around 9 a.m. a judge ruling is expected today. a no to dna testing could be that final dagger to the la ips

argument, but a yes to testing could be a huge step forward in asking for a new trial. of course, we'll keep you posted on what happens. garcia james torres, thank you. >> the city of oakland is encouraging kia and hyundai owners to take advantage of a new settlement over car thefts. a lawsuit alleged the carmakers sold faulty easily stolen vehicles. those cars were popular targets for thieves during the pandemic because many models were missing an important security feature. kia and hyundai have since agreed to give out free anti-theft upgrades and to compensate customers who were victims of thefts or break ins. owners can submit a claim now, and the settlement won't get final approval until mid-july. >> well, a band in the east bay desperately searching for its stolen musical equipment after its tour van was stolen in oakland last week. the rock group wandered says their van was stolen the night of may 22nd from an apartment garage on 12th street in oakland, and at the time, wander was loaning the van to another local band. it was

last seen filled with instruments, equipment and years of memories. these rockers hope to get their van back, but they don't want other musicians to be hurt by their bad luck. >> i want bands to still come through oakland. i still want music to happen in oakland because i think the oakland community deserves that. >> so far this year in oakland, more than 4000 car thefts have been reported. if you have any information on where that stolen van is, contact oakland police. >> a south bay doctor is back at home this morning after spending several weeks trapped in gaza. san carlos doctor haleh sheikholeslam returned to the bay area this weekend. she originally planned to spend two weeks providing medical care to people in that war torn region, but got stuck when the border was shut down. then medical supplies began to dwindle, worsened an already critical situation. we try to help patients as much as we can. >> it's hard when you don't have

the tools to help patients or the patients you know who should be hospitalized but can't be because there's just no room for them. >> the doctor was able to secure a return after four weeks in gaza. she says on her way back home, there was an airstrike near the clinic where she'd been working. >> our time, now 706, will today and tomorrow, all classes at uc santa cruz will be online because of a continuing campus strike. now, this strike has been going on for a week now. yesterday, protesters blocked the entrances to the campus, filled the streets with tents and dumped rocks and debris and paint onto the pavement. union academic workers say they're upset about how university leaders have responded to pro palestinian protests. the strike has spread to other uc campuses as well. about 12,000 union employees are walking picket lines at uc santa cruz, uc davis and ucla. >> the decision to go on strike

and to do it, you know, like like you said, like at this moment when we're all preparing to, you know, i'm supposed to walk in my graduation on this year, you know, for phd, as students say, this strike has led to research delays and withheld grades ahead of their final exams. >> the uc office of the president calls the strike illegal, saying its contract with the union includes a no strike provision. >> the case involving water pollution regulations for san francisco is headed to the us supreme court. the city is at odds with the environmental protection agency, the epa accuses san francisco of violating the clean water act by allowing dangerous contaminants to flow through its oceanside water pollution control plant down in southern california and into the pacific ocean. the san francisco side says that regulations are too generic and exposes the city to fines and lawsuits. officials say the epa should just announce how much the city needs to control its discharges to comply with the clean water act.

>> our time now. 708. a climate change experiment aboard the deck of the uss hornet that had been on hold may be coming back soon. the project pumps drops of salt water into the air, as if it could make clouds more reflective. now, researchers from the university of washington started these tests on the upper deck of the uss hornet in alameda last month, but it was put on hold while the city conducted a second review of the safety. now, officials in alameda say the project does not threaten health or safety to nearby residents or wildlife. the alameda city council will vote on whether to allow the experiment to continue when they meet next week. >> time now 709 and we do have that truck crash with. that happened at about three this morning, northbound 101 on the connector ramp to 880. the truck you see there loaded down with 40,000 pounds of strawberries still being offloaded. they have to get all those strawberry

crates off and then they will right the truck. they have two tow trucks there, there with the cables to right the vehicle. however, they still have to offload it. they're doing that right now. you can see as the strawberries are coming off. so i'll put it on the map here for you, northbound 101 is going to be slow. actually, i went to 280. that's not a bad thing. that's your alternate route. northbound 280. let me show you on a map here. northbound 101. traffic is slow from about 282, 80 is a little slow. i would still use it instead of 101 this morning. as you drive through. if you're going to the bay bridge toll plaza, you will see the traffic is going to be slow. 709 let's go back to the desk. >> okay, sal. thank you. well, starting today, opening statements begin in the state trial against david depape. the argument the defense will make to keep him from being convicted a second time. >> former president donald trump's future will likely be in the hands of a jury today. what's at stake? and a look ahead in a live report outside the new york courthouse where

17 years ago in massachusetts was arrested in the east bay. is named twin lee. he was arrested near danville yesterday. now, he was originally on trial in 2007 for the kidnaping and rape of a young woman in massachusetts. back in 2005. he fled the state before he was sentenced. the victim originally helped arrest him because she recognized his bad breath from the restaurant where she worked, which his family owned. a jury still convicted him even after he fled the area. he's never served. any time in jail. investigators recently had a lead that he was living here in the bay area. >> an east bay man accuses pittsburgh police of using excessive force. ashton porter was staying at the hampton inn in 2022 when he says he suffered a mental health crisis and was too scared to leave. motel staff called police, according to porter's federal lawsuit, he was

involved in a prolonged interaction with police in which officers used a battering ram, pepper spray and tear gas in an attempt to get him out of the room. porter was also shot twice by officers. >> police should just have a little more compassion with someone that's going through a mental health crisis, because that's not how that person should be defined. asking for help but was met with harm was met with bullets. >> police who, if you will see things as if they're hammers, saw mr. porter as a nail. >> porter says just as he was leaving the motel room with his hands up, an officer shot him. police say porter was armed with a knife and charged at officers. the officer opened fire, identified as ernesto mejia orozco resigned from pittsburgh police that same year. charges against him in this case were dropped next month. he's expected to plead guilty to local bribery charges and to federal to paying someone to take online classes for him. so

he could increase his pay. 715 former president donald trump's future will be in the hands of a manhattan jury in the coming hours, as part of his criminal trial involving 34 counts, including falsifying business records and paying hush money. >> our fox reporter rebecca castor is joining us live from new york city with the latest on how these proceedings could go. rebecca, good morning. >> dave garcia. good morning. court is just starting here. and judge mershon will soon give the jury his instructions before they head into the deliberation room. >> jury instructions. this is what you use to evaluate the evidence. >> on wednesday, judge juan mershon is expected to direct the jury about how they should set off on reaching a verdict before the 12 members start deliberating the evidence, and former president donald trump's new york hush money trial. >> we have a judge who's conflicted. >> the former president is charged with 34 felony counts, prosecutors argued trump falsified business documents as part of an effort to hide a hush

money payment to adult film star stormy daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. daniels was allegedly paid to keep quiet about an affair with trump, which he denies a conspiracy to affect the outcome of the 2016 election by burying negative stories about him and then a cover up by labeling reimburse payments to his lawyer, michael cohen, as legal expenses when in reality, according to prosecutors, he was paying back cohen for a $130,000 hush money payment. the jury must reach a unanimous decision on whether to convict or acquit trump. if just one believes prosecutors haven't shown trump is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, it could result in a hung jury. >> but like any hung jury, the judge is going to give them an allen charge. he's going to tell you to go back, restudy everything. >> if convicted, trump could face a maximum of 20 years behind bars. >> but it's not clear yet if prosecutors will actually seek prison time. garcia dave.

>> rebecca, is there any idea how long these deliberations could last? and secondly, are there any preparations around the courthouse where you are? i imagine some people have been watching the trial, but once that verdict comes in, it'll it'll be sort of the big moment. >> exactly. so there's no way to know how long the jury deliberations will go. they are considering 34 counts against trump, so that could take some time. i will say there is a strong nypd presence out here. they've been here throughout the trial and we all are already seeing a strong showing of trump supporters out here. and there's a line of police officers monitoring those protesters and making sure it doesn't get out of hand. okay >> rebecca castor, live in new york. thank you. >> all right, rebecca, thank you. our time is now. 718. a judge was left speechless after a man with a suspended driver's license died into a court zoom call while he was driving a car. >> mr. harris, are you driving? >> i'm ashley, i'm pulling into

my doctor's office, actually, so maybe i don't understand something. >> this is a driving license. suspended. >> that is correct, your honor, and he was just driving at. >> and he didn't have a license. >> incredible. during that hearing, the defendant was asking for an adjournment. it was denied. the judge also revoked his bond and ordered the man to turn himself in. by the end of the day. >> all right. 718. there is a tricky situation that you've been watching sal in the south bay that's involving the morning commute. >> that's right. garcia and dave, northbound 101, the connector ramp to northbound 880 is closed because of a truck that, overturned or actually flipped onto its side northbound 101 at 880. they also have the ramp from northbound 880 to 101 closed to take care of the issue. and you can see the traffic on 101 is slow. 280 is

getting slow as well, but i would still use 280 instead of 101. here is a live picture of it. you can see that the truck is on its side. there it was loaded down with 40,000 pounds of strawberries. they've successfully gotten a lot of those strawberries out. you can see that little loader thing is coming out of the truck. once they get all the strawberries out, then those two tow trucks you see there will write the trailer and hopefully get it out of the way. but for the morning commute, i'm not thinking it's going to be a very good one. so i would say use 280 instead. let's talk about the bay bridge. if you're going to san francisco and is a typical delay spreading all the way out to the macarthur maze. 880 oakland. 580 oakland. still looking good getting into oakland. and we take a quick look at the san mateo bridge. it's pretty crowded over to the peninsula. 720 let's talk to steve now about today's weather. >> you got the brooms out, sal got the broom out for today's. >> yeah. you know what? last night was a pretty good win and they got it done early. steve.

>> there you go. yeah, we'll go for it today and it will be warm. as you know, sal, if you're in the sun there and some of those lower bowl seats it can you like man it's hot. i'm going 70 for oracle now officially i'm going 68. but 70 you can do easily 3 or 4 forecast in the city alone. but it looks good to me. lots of sunshine, warm temps. officially we'll go 6852. average is 6552. the record 93 on the high side 1975 and 46 in 1893. santa rosa, san francisco, concord, san jose. up we go 86, 68, 86 and 81 on the forecast highs for today. a little bit of fog. san mateo coast. then it pulls off and it warms back again. santa cruz down to monterey. but that's that's it. that's all i can find. so temps are starting off on the warmer side here 5058 already in santa rosa, vacaville, brentwood already in the 60s a lot of 50s here. so it won't take long to warm up. i think almost everyone gets in on the warm up today. had a little cool down for a couple of days. this has been the pattern back to april. we

get a warm up for a couple of days and it goes right back down again today and tomorrow. there could be a few well inland near 90, but it looks to me like friday. we start a little cooling trend, then much more pronounced on saturday. warmer wednesday though, sunny and warmer except for a few patches of fog. we're good to go. 60s 70s and 80s. tomorrow will be the warmest day. start to ease up a little bit. friday cooler saturday looks nice on sunday. >> thank you steve 721 a string of violent incidents at one north bay middle school has parents concerned what the school is doing about it, and why some parents say it's not enough. >> and on the streets of san francisco, another dangerous drug is now circulating. we'll tell you how lawmakers and the police hope to get a handle on this

of cases is low. researchers want to monitor the strains and mutations. as summer approaches. counties including napa and sonoma are checking wastewater for traces of covid, including the new flirt subvariants, county told the press. democrat it has detected at least eight new cases of that strain since march. >> our time is now 724 san francisco city leaders debating whether to spend more resources to examine the growing popularity of a new street drug. it's called medetomidine, a synthetic drug that's used by veterinarians as an animal tranquilizer. it can dramatically slow down a heartbeat. this drug can be combined with other drugs like fentanyl and heroin. san

francisco officials have worked hard trying to reduce the number of deadly overdoses in the city, but they worry this new drug could cause another another trend. >> a humboldt county judge has resigned after admitting to several wrongful acts. superior court judge gregory crease presided over at least 44 cases in which he did not reveal his social or working relationships with the lawyers or their clients. the commission on judicial performance also cited a party in 2018 where there were drinks before and during the party, hosted by an attorney and his wife, crease was elected to a six year term in 2018. after serving as a deputy humboldt county public defender for seven years, the commission imposed a severe public censure on crease and said he'd permanently resigned as a judge on monday. >> our time now 726 lawmakers calling for accountability because of that troubled federal prison in the east bay. what they'll be looking at as they try to figure out how the abuse at fci dublin went on for so

little bit of a northerly breeze here. there's still a few patches of fog on the san mateo coast. not a lot, but i think that'll keep them in the 60s. same around santa cruz. aptos down to monterey, but otherwise, that's it. oh, the warm feeling. because almost everyone will get in on this warmer temps here. not only today. lots of sunshine, but warmer temps. we'll go 6070 on the coast 80s inland. well, it was a wild night in san jose. let's hope there's no domino effect here to tell us what's going on. is sal castaneda. >> you know, there would be days like this steve on the san jose. and that's not a sweet thing either, is it? no, no. northbound 101, northbound 880 right there in the middle. there is a truck that was carrying 40,000 pounds of strawberries. let me put it on the map here for you. i didn't quite make the turn on the ramp. it was driving on northbound 101 and trying to make this ramp. it flipped over and also the ramp on 880 is blocked as they get that thing out of the way. so please give yourself extra time. 280 is still the alternate route, and here is a live picture of the

truck as they're using equipment to get rid of the strawberries, they have to unload all the strawberries and put them in a big pile there before they can take the truck and that's a lot of strawberries, 40,000 pounds, just kind of sitting there. and right now the truck is not righted yet. once they get everything off the truck, they can ride it and reopen the ramp. i also want to mention that we have a typical commute here at the bay bridge, backed up to the maze when we come back, we'll take a look at some of the contra costa commutes that are loaded up. 731 let's go back to the desk. >> happening today, convicted killer scott peterson will appear virtually in a san mateo county courtroom as part of an effort to get a new trial. peterson is currently serving a life sentence after being convicted of murdering his wife, laci, and their unborn child in 2002, a team of lawyers with the la innocence project is working to overturn his conviction and is requesting dna testing for items gathered during the original murder investigation. prosecutors say there is no need for dna testing because peterson

was convicted on other evidence. >> our time now. 732 san francisco's muni will be getting millions of dollars from the federal government to repair muni platforms. ktvu sally rasmus is here now with a live report on what the money is supposed to pay for. good morning. ali >> good morning dave. it's nearly $5 million coming from the us department of transportation to help sfmta upgrade several muni light rail platforms, like the one here behind us. this is the one at church and market. and you can see it's not level with the street. we can show you some up close video in order to get on board a rail car. at this particular stop, you either have to walk up the three steps to hop into the train, or if you're wheelchair or mobility impaired, you have to go up the ramp. we spoke with some muni riders this morning who say they've seen friends and fellow passengers in wheelchairs struggle with platforms like this. the ramps or, you know, even getting to

the ramps. or as we can see here, there's a bike lane and then trying to drive a wheelchair across the bike lane. and if there's a lot of bikes, who has the right of way? the us department of transportation announced san francisco will get $4.7 million to add more wheelchair ramps and close the gap between the platform and those muni rail cars at several light rail stations. the goal to make sure people with mobility challenges can more easily board those rail cars. >> anything to help everybody, because the city is for everybody. >> now where will these improvements be made? specifically at five stations on the j. church muni light rail line and another three stations on the m ocean view line? we don't know which stops on those lines will get the upgrades. we also don't know when construction will begin or how soon these upgrades to these platforms will be in place, but we have reached out to sfmta this morning to get more details

on that. live in san francisco, ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> ali thank you. caltrans is closing a section of 19th avenue in san francisco starting today to repair potholes. two northbound lanes will be closed across the three block stretch between sloat and taraval. crews will be working from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m, after which all lanes will reopen. the closure is expected to last through friday. this week's closure is part of a more extensive repaving project planned for 19th avenue by the city's public works department. renovations include water and sewer main replacements, traffic signal work and curb ramp installations. >> all right, gasia time 734 starting today. opening statements begin in the state trial against david depape in san francisco. this comes as a judge in federal court resentenced depape to 30 years in prison for attacking paul pelosi, the husband of san francisco congresswoman nancy pelosi. now, earlier this month, the judge had failed to give depape a chance to speak at the original sentencing. this time,

depape addressed the court and said, quote, i never meant to hurt him, and i feel horribly for hurting mr. pelosi. >> they forgot to go through that formality and everybody agreed it was a mistake. so now it's been corrected. so yes, it creates a point of appeal, but it's not going to be successful because what an appellate court will do is they will say, yes, it was an error, but it was corrected. >> nanda papp's lawyer is arguing he should not be prosecuted in two separate courts for the same crimes in charges. >> parents in novato say they are frustrated by their schools response to a string of violent incidents at sinaloa middle school. we have video of what parents say is the latest incident that took place on friday. students engaged in a fight on campus in which one girl was attacked by three other students last night, parents attended a meeting. one ktvu was not allowed to attend. the principal said the schools handed out severe punishment for the students involved in that fight. on friday, parents tell

us more needs to be done. >> a fight is one thing when someone's attacked by a group of people, it needs to be dealt with a certain way and i feel like the schools turned their head to it and they've they've minimalized it. minimalizing violence is a big problem. >> afterwards, parents told us they were just as frustrated as they were before the meeting. >> well, ten members of congress want hearings to be held into abuses at the federal women's prison in dublin. prisons can be run in a way that are respectful of the process. >> obviously, but when they develop these cultures, there's lots of history that shows it's very hard to change it and people won't be truthful because if they are truthful, unfortunately they'll be held to account. so we have to get to that point. >> now. it's been six weeks now since the bureau of prisons announced the shutdown of fci dublin. it happened just after a special master was appointed to oversee compliance with federal law in response to a rampant culture of sexual abuse and the

settlements expected in dozens of sex abuse cases filed by women against more than 30 correctional officers. at that now closed federal prison in dublin, a lawyer representing 23 of the 106 plaintiffs says she wants to use some of the settlement money to create a first of its kind healing center for jessica. pride says she and a partner have already purchased land for that center in san diego. it would provide inpatient and virtual treatment for sexual assault victims. >> time is 737. let's see what's happening in the morning commute. do we start in the south bay again, sal? >> yeah, we're going to start with the truck that was flipped over this morning at about three in the morning, right now northbound 101, the connector ramp from northbound 101 to 880 is closed, and so is the ramp from 880 to 101 as they try to unload the truck that was filled with 40,000 pounds of strawberries. and here we are with the live picture. they're

still unloading the strawberries, putting them in a big pile away. once they get all the strawberries off, which is a tedious task, to be saying the least. and there they all are. once they get all that out, then they will be able to right the trailer and then open the ramp. it's not going to be for the morning commute. i think we're going to probably see that happen later in the morning. meanwhile, that ramp is closed. let's talk about other commutes. bay bridge is backed up. we're also looking at contra costa county. we have the typical slowdowns on 24 approaching the lafayette bart station on highway four from bay point to concord, and 680 is getting slow from concord to walnut creek. all that's pretty typical. and now we're seeing a little more congestion on 880 in oakland, driving into downtown 739. let's talk to steve now for today's forecast. >> all right sal, thank you sir. there's not much fog. there is a little bit more towards santa cruz down to watsonville. and a little sliver is formed in the santa clara valley. i don't think it'll last long, but morgan hill right there, san

martin gilroy probably puts on the brakes right there. and then on the san mateo coast, there's a little bit here, but that's it. it's down towards santa cruz and monterey bay, baseball forecast. if you're in the sun, it's going to be warm today. i'm going 70 for game time temp today. now again, it just depends on where you sit. if you're in the shade cooler, if you're in the sun, it can be downright warm, 68 officially, though, in the city is what i'm going for. 52. what's average? 65? 52. you're right there. 93. the record high on this date, 1975. and 46 back in 1893 for the temps today, the coast some locations there. most will get in on a little warm up. but these are the average highs for this time of year santa rosa, san francisco, livermore, san jose they're all above today 86, 68, 84 and 81 on the forecast. highs 50s on a lot of the temps. 60s for a few, especially vacaville out to brentwood. but that this time of year that makes sense. but we only had a couple of 40s and they've rebounded pretty fast overall, this cool pattern we had for a couple of days is now being

replaced by a warmer one for two, and there would be a few near 90 well inland. tomorrow. we have to have a little northerly breeze and then it'll start to back off friday. it looks cooler on saturday, warmer wednesday though mainly clear. only a few patches of fog, sunshine and warmer temps. 6070s 80s tomorrow does look like a skosh warmer and then i think we'll ease up a little on friday. cooler on saturday. >> thank you steve. a multi-billion dollar deal in the world of big oil. the two companies that could become one and how it could impact a bay area refinery. >> and then we've talked about this in the past, about loneliness being an epidemic, but now it's also creeping into the workplace as the modern workday has seen a dramatic shift to virtual meetings that often have no face to face contact. in fact, since 2020, microsoft data shows employees have tripled their time in meetings. a lot of those virtual meetings reducing casual interactions that increase happiness. it will go into more detail on the nine, but for now, we're asking, how do you feel about the increase in virtual

dark, knowing when i'm out there, it's just practice again for me. so when i'm out there, it's nothing new to things i'm doing under the lights now. >> last season, aguilar was named newcomer of the year and the sun belt conference and his ultimate goal. yeah he wants to go to the pros. >> let's get out the door here. 750 let me guess, south bay south. >> yeah. you know, i know i've been talking about it a lot, but i do have to let people know. garcia and dave, that northbound 101 has been a mess because of a truck that flipped over on its side, northbound 101 on the ramp to northbound 880. it was loaded down with 40,000 pounds of strawberries. at one point, i was recommending you to take 280, but right now, 280 is also very slow and 85 is slow. just put a lot of pressure on the morning commute. and they still have to right the truck. these are live pictures. that truck is still on its side. and they've been doing the tedious task of taking all the crates of strawberries out. takes a long time. this has been out here

since 3:00. you know, they still you can see that little loader coming out of the truck there and there are the strawberries, so it's going to take a while. this is done for the morning commute. it's putting a lot of pressure on the rest of the commute as well. bay bridge toll plaza is backed up, so we have a crash now on the bridge. westbound 80 at fremont street. that's relatively new. the emergency crews are beginning to show up right now, and traffic has been slowed down at the metering light. so bay bridge people, it's going to be slower than usual because of that new crash near fremont street on the right side. 751. let's talk about today's weather. steve. yes >> is it my turn? >> yes. send them into the mystic. >> well, i will do that. thank you sir. all right. we do still have a little bit of fog. kind of dancing around. not much on the san mateo coast. i think it's about done. santa clara valley, but around monterey bay. then taking the turn over to santa cruz. some breaks in the clouds. but that's really about it. everywhere else is already

clear. temps are bumping up. won't take long. vacaville. brentwood already pushing the upper 60s. they'll probably be in the upper 80s today. maybe near 90. if not today, then tomorrow. it's a lot of 50s for everywhere else, a little bit of a northerly breeze. mount veeder and atlas peak, although david's point still has a west pittsburg, is bouncing between a west and a northwest at mount diablo, north oakland south above the oakland zoo is north and it's west at big rock northwest at mount tamalpais. so it's trying to turn northerly and fairfield, though still west southwest concord. south oakland has an east, novato has a north, santa rosa has a north. so you can see that's i think that will win out on the day. and that'll give us sunshine and warmer temps. had a little cooldown. now we get a couple of days of warmer weather and that's it. a couple of days, maybe near 90 for a few tomorrow inland. then after that, i think we start to ease up a little bit on friday and for sure saturday. and look at this coming in on maybe on monday, a little a little rain to the north. after that, there's a big question of will we get hot or not? there's just

not an agreement on it yet. or where, but we'll see. we'll ease into that next week. warmer today and also tomorrow. 60s, 70s and 80s on the temps. if there's a 90, it'd be tomorrow. probably for sure. then after that still nice inland on on friday, but a little cooler than much cooler for all on saturday. >> steve thank you. parents often struggle to keep up with the avalanche of artwork that comes with having young children. but new at eight, some centuries old drawings were just discovered. why? they tell an important story about the past. then she's in charge of the music that keeps players and fans energized at san francisco giants games. how this dj is breaking barriers and pushing past disappointing behavior from some of the djs she used to look up to

>> it is wednesday may 29th. you know steve, it's rare that folks in oakland need to turn on the ac. many don't even have it. they're lucky enough to live close to the water that even with this temperature bump, they're all right. >> they should be okay today, maybe tomorrow. but then after that, that mother nature will bring back that fog machine and the cooler weather. now the sonoma county airport is 62. they have a north wind at eight, but i looked in town. it's 58, so i tend to forecast for this in town in santa rosa, not the airport, but either way it's upper 50s 60s. everyone else is in the 50s already, so we're on our way. there's only a little bit of fog hanging on the san mateo coast, and then also down towards santa cruz and a little bit in the santa clara valley. but i think that's about done so. oh, the warm feeling today. and that's going to be warmer for everybody here today and tomorrow. but then just like that, i think friday saturday will cool it down. co 60 70s inland a lot of 80s maybe a few pushing the upper 80s. when i woke up this morning, i did a little moon dance, but i don't know if they're dancing down towards san jose. let's ask sal. >> no, not on days like this. steve, you know we have a new

crash in oakland, westbound 580 near highway 13. and that crash all of a sudden is blocking several lanes. i have it on a map here, and it's backing traffic up into san leandro. this is a big problem for 580. so people are using 880 instead. and that one that freeway is also very slow on 880 northbound. getting into downtown oakland. of course, the big headline has been northbound 101 connector to northbound 880. that's strawberry truck that flipped over on its side. oops let me go back to that here. i want to show you a live picture. if i can, of that it is right here northbound 101. that ramp is closed and so is the ramp on northbound 880, getting on the 101, because they have to unload the strawberries and then, right, the truck, it's going to be there for a while. it's 802. let's get back to the headlines. >> okay sal. thank you. happening today, convicted killer scott peterson gets yet another chance in court trying to prove he did not murder his wife and their unborn baby. ktvu is james torres is in the studio

now to explain how a judge's decision could determine how dna , dna testing could make or break this case. >> james dave. good morning. well, attorneys with the la innocence project are aggressively saying investigators and detectives may have botched the case against scott peterson. in court documents, they say tunnel vision led investigators to find ways to prove their story of what happened to laci peterson. while ignoring all other possibilities that could indicate laci was alive longer than when scott was convicted of killing her. today's hearing is formally asking a judge to allow dna testing on a number of new items, most notably, the la ip wants testing on a mattress found inside a burned van spotted near the peterson's modesto home. that van may have been part of a home burglary of peterson's neighbors. la ip lawyers say the grounds of their argument come from a number of witnesses who say they saw laci walking her dog and even saw her interacting with those burglars at least a day after prosecutors

said she determined to be dead. one witness saying on the record he saw the burglars push a pregnant woman into the van. the lawyers say that witness called in the crime, but it was never investigated enough. and they say the detectives either didn't do enough to vet the witness accounts or just flat out ignored them. preliminary dna testing on that van did find some human blood, but these attorneys are asking for new modern testing to reveal the identity of who that dna belongs to. in its motion, the lapd wrote the results of the requested dna testing could help identify the actual perpetrators of the crimes for which scott peterson was convicted, and or provide leads to other suspects. days after laci's disappearance, modesto police did clear the two suspected burglars of having any involvement in the case the stanislaus district attorney's office. those trying to keep peterson in prison say all of the points brought up by the la ip are hearsay, and all the evidence prosecutors brought

forth was enough to win a conviction. today's hearing in redwood city that sets a start in a little less than an hour from now, a judge ruling is expected. expected at the end of the day today, a no to dna testing could be a dagger to the la ips moment, but a yes to the testing could be a huge step forward in asking for a new trial. garcia and dave. >> all right, james, thank you. time now, 804. a fugitive who's been on the run for almost two decades was recently arrested in the east bay. twin lee was taken into custody yesterday near danville. he was originally on trial back in 2007 for the kidnaping and rape of a young woman in massachusetts. in 2005, he fled the state before he was sentenced. the victim originally helped arrest him because she recognized his bad breath from the restaurant where she worked, which his family owned. a jury still convicted him even after he fled, and he has never served

time. investigators recently received a lead that he was living here in the bay area. >> the city of oakland is encouraging kia and hyundai owners to take advantage of a new settlement over car thefts. a lawsuit alleged carmakers sold faulty, easily stolen vehicles. the cars were popular targets for thieves during the pandemic because many models were missing an important security feature. kia and hyundai have since agreed to give out free anti-theft upgrades and compensate customers who were victims of thefts or break ins. owners can now submit a claim the settlement won't get final approval until mid-july. >> our time is 805, a band in the east bay desperately searching for his musical equipment after its tour van was stolen last week in oakland. the rock group wander says their van was stolen in the night of may 22nd from an apartment garage on 12th street in oakland. at the time, wander was loaning the van to another local band. it was last seen filled with instruments, equipment and years of memories. the rockers hope to

get their van back, but they don't want other musicians to be hurt by the bad luck they've had . >> i want bands to still come through oakland. i still want music to happen in oakland because i think the oakland community deserves that. >> so far this year in oakland, more than 4000 car thefts have been reported. if you have any information about where that stolen van is, contact oakland police. >> the south bay doctor is back at home after spending several weeks trapped in gaza. san carlos doctor hal shackles sheikholeslami returned to the bay area this weekend. she originally planned to spend two weeks providing medical care to people in the war torn region, but got stuck when the border was shut down. then medical supplies began to dwindle, worsening an already critical situation. >> we try to help patients as much as we can. it's hard when you don't have the tools to help patients or the patients you know who should be hospitalized

but can't be because there's just no room for them. >> the doctor was able to secure a return after four weeks in gaza, she says. on her way back there was an airstrike near the clinic where she'd been working. >> our time is 807 today and tomorrow. all classes at uc santa cruz will be online because of a continuing campus strike. the strike is now a week old. yesterday, the protesters blocked the entrances to the campus and filled the streets with tents and dumped rocks, debris and paint onto the pavement. union academic workers say they're upset about how university leaders have responded to pro-palestinian protests. now, the strike has spread to other uc campuses as well. about 12,000 union employees are walking picket lines at uc santa cruz, uc davis and ucla. >> a hard decision to go on strike and to do it, you know, like like you said, like at this moment when we're all preparing to, you know, i'm supposed to walk in my graduation this year,

you know, for phd students say the strike has led to research delays and withheld grades ahead of their final exams. >> the uc office of the president calls the strike illegal, saying its contract with the union includes a no strike provision. >> the sfmta is getting some federal funds to fix and upgrade ramps and platforms. the u.s. department of transportation announced it's giving san francisco more than $4 million to make improvements at some uni light rail stations. the changes are meant to help people who use wheelchairs and those with mobility challenges. five stations on the j church muni light rail line, and another three muni stops on the m ocean view line in the city will receive the upgrades. it's unclear when construction would start or how long it would take. >> time is 809. we have a lot of different things that just popped up. this has been now a terrible late commute. i just got a new crash now on the peninsula southbound 101 near millbrae avenue. several lanes are blocked and the backup is quickly growing. a bus is

involved in this. if you're driving down the peninsula, do not use 101 through san bruno and into millbrae unless you're getting on in burlingame, which would be after the crash. we also do have a crash westbound 580 at highway 13. that is a stacking traffic up all the way back into san leandro. we also had a crash clear from the bay bridge. so the bay bridge backup is a lot slower than it normally is. we have that truck crash. it flipped over northbound 101 on the connector ramp to 880. it was loaded down with 40,000 pounds of strawberries. you see, they're loading the strawberries onto another truck. now, the damage or basically just garbage at this point, they're going to write the other truck and they're going to try and flip it back onto its wheels to get it out. they haven't done that yet. this is a big problem. it's putting a lot of pressure on the other san jose freeways. it's just one of those days. eight, ten let's go back to the desk. okay, sal. >> thank you. well, scientists

say a very important discovery has been made about life and culture. 2000 years ago, archeologists in the ancient roman city of pompeii uncovered charcoal sketches drawn by children. it's believed these young artists drew graphic pictures after seeing up close, violent gladiator fights in bloody animal hunts. some of the artwork seems to show bodies as well. scientists think the children, as young as six years old, drew these images and it's now 810 starting today, opening statements begin in the state trial against david depape. the argument the defense will make aimed at keeping him from being convicted a second time. former president donald trump's future will likely be in the hands of a jury very soon. >> what's at stake and a look ahead when we have a live report from outside that ew york courthouse coming

in in 2022 when he says he suffered a mental health crisis, was too scared to leave. motel staff called police. according to porter's federal lawsuit. he was involved in a prolonged

interaction with officers in which police used battering rams , pepper spray and tear gas in an attempt to get him out of the room. porter was also shot twice by police. >> police should just have a little more compassion with someone that's going through a mental health crisis, because that's not how that person should be defined. >> asking for help but was met with harm, was met with bullets. police who, if you will see things as if they're hammers, saw mr. porter as a nail. >> porter says just as he was leaving the motel room with his hands up, an officer shot him. police say porter was armed with a knife and charged at officers as the officer opened fire. identified as ernesto mejia, orozco resigned from pittsburgh police that same year. charges against him in this case were dropped. next month. he's expected to plead guilty to local bribery charges and federal charges of paying someone to take online classes for him so he could increase his pay. former president donald

trump's future will be in the hands of a manhattan jury in the coming hours as part of his criminal trial involving 34 counts, including falsifying business records and paying hush money. >> the fox reporter rebecca castor joining us live from new york city right now with the latest on how these proceedings could go. good morning. rebecca >> dave garcia, good morning, judge mershon is giving his instructions to the jury right now before sending them into the deliberation room. he started off this morning by reminding the panel that they promised to be fair jurors, and they shouldn't let stereotypes impact their verdict. >> jury instructions. this is what you use to evaluate the evidence. >> on wednesday, judge juan mershon is expected to direct the jury about how they should set off on reaching a verdict before the 12 members start deliberating the evidence in former president donald trump's new york hush money trial. >> we have a judge who's conflicted. >> the former president is charged with 34 felony counts. prosecutors argue trump falsified business documents as

part of an effort to hide a hush money payment to adult film star stormy daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. daniels was allegedly paid to keep quiet about an affair with trump, which he denies was a conspiracy to affect the outcome of the 2016 election by burying negative stories about him and then a cover up by labeling reimbursement payments to his lawyer, michael cohen, as legal expenses when in reality, according to prosecutors, he was paying back cohen for a $130,000 hush money payment. the jury must reach a unanimous decision on whether to convict or acquit trump. if just one believes prosecutors haven't shown trump is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, it could result in a hung jury. >> but like any hung jury, the judge is going to give them an allen charge. he's going to tell you to go back, restudy everything. >> it's not clear yet if prosecutors will actually seek conviction or seek prison time. if trump is convicted, but he could face a maximum of 20 years

behind bars. garcia. dave. >> hey, rebecca, before you go, tell us again about who's on the jury, the makeup of the jury. >> so we know that the jury is made up of five women and seven men. and we also know that two of the people on the jury are lawyers. there's a teacher, two engineers, as well as people in finance. in the business world, there are people that told the judges and the lawyers that they either didn't have a strong opinion of trump or if they did, whether it be good or bad, they convinced lawyers that they could be impartial. all right. >> so now we sit back and wait and see what they decide. rebecca castor, live from new york. thank you for joining us. >> let's bring back to our wednesday morning commute has been a tricky one, especially for people trying to get around the south bay cell. >> that's right. but we also have the east bay popping up with problems. the bay bridge commute is terrible because of an earlier motorcycle accident. they've sped up the metering lights in hopes of bringing people relief, but at the very

end of the line, it is going to be a slow commute trying to get across in your car to san francisco westbound 580 this morning, westbound 580 at 13. there's a crash blocking several lanes. if you're on, i would not go up to 580. use 880 instead, even though that's very slow on the peninsula. southbound 101 at millbrae avenue, there's a crash if you're going to sfo or you're heading down the peninsula, 101 is backed up into south city. i would use 280 instead. and then the big problem we've been working about on all morning long, northbound 101 to connect, to ramp to 880. overturned truck that was loaded with 40,000 pounds of strawberries. here is the truck. they're taking those strawberries off. they have to get them off before they write the truck. that ramp from northbound 101 to 880, and also the ramp from 880 to 101 has been closed since 3:00 this morning. and well, they still have plenty of stuff to do before they can open that ramp. 819 let's bring steve back in

might be real real gone. or you might be real real mad depending on where you are. >> yeah it is going to be tough, steve, you know, to, on a day like this these days are terrible for the commute because the gps keeps changing like they can make two hours or an hour. bay bridge for example, the bay bridge is backed up. the gps keeps changing. it's going to take an hour and a half. it's going to take an hour, so the traffic is backed up. this is because of an earlier crash onto the bridge, and it's been a domino effect of all these commute problems. westbound 580 is slow. there was a crash at highway 13. now there's a crash, believe it or not, northbound 880 near high street. oh, my goodness. it's just one of those hard to stay on the bright side of the road today, that's for sure. southbound 101 at millbrae. there's a crash there. and of course we've had that crash in san jose along northbound 101 right at the 880 interchange, where this truck filled with 40,000 pounds of

strawberries flipped over. that's putting pressure on 101 from at least 280. getting up to the airport. tough day on the roads. 832 let's get back to the desk. >> okay, sal. >> thank you. will san francisco's muni, the municipal transportation agency, will be getting millions of dollars from the federal government to fix some muni platforms. ktvu is ali rasmus is here to explain how the money is going to be used. good morning ali. >> good morning dave. yeah, it's a significant amount for some very specific things. the u.s. department of transportation is giving sfmta nearly $5 million to improve some of its muni platforms, like this one here behind us. this is at church and market. the train just came through. and so now it was busy a minute ago. now everyone's boarded. but you can note that this light rail stop is not level with the street. you have to go up that ramp in order to get on board a rail car, unless you can take the stairs, which not everyone can. so the grant money from this, the federal

government will pay for things like better wheelchair ramps and improvements to close the gap between the platform and those rail cars. at several light rail muni stations, we spoke with a longtime transit and disability rights advocate about this. ali choo is legally blind and she uses a mobility cane. she told us how those simple changes will help all muni riders benefit. >> so many people, including mothers, use stroller, including older people who use those shopping cart things, including so many people, including people who injured their leg and they have to get on crutches sometimes. so we have to really take that into consideration. >> now, where will these improvements be made? at five stations on the j church muni light rail line and another three muni stations on the m ocean view line. we don't know which ones on those lines will get the specific upgrades to the platforms, and we don't know when construction will begin, but we have reached out to sfmta spokespersons this morning. we are hoping to get some more

information from them. live in san francisco ali rasmus ktvu, fox two news. >> ali thank you. caltrans is closing a section of the 19th avenue area of san francisco starting today to repair potholes. two northbound lanes will be closed across the three block stretch between sloat and taraval. crews will be working from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m, after which all lanes should reopen. the closure is expected to last through friday. this week's closures are part of a more extensive repaving project planned for 19th ave by the city's public works department. renovations include water and sewer main replacement, traffic signal work and curb ramp installations. happening today, convicted killer scott peterson will appear virtually in a san mateo county courtroom as part of his effort to get a new trial. peterson is currently serving a life sentence after being convicted of murdering his wife, laci, and their unborn child in 20. excuse me in 2002. a team of lawyers with the la innocence project is working to overturn the conviction. has requested dna testing for items gathered during the original murder investigation. prosecutors say there is no need for dna testing because peterson

that formality and everybody agreed it was a mistake. so now it's been corrected. so yes, it creates a point of appeal, but it's not going to be successful because what an appellate court will do is they will say, yes, it was an error, but it was corrected. >> now, depapes lawyers argue he should not be prosecuted in two separate courts for the same crime and charges. >> parents in novato say they're frustrated by their schools response to a string of violent incidents at sinaloa middle school. we have video here of what parents say is the latest incident. students engaged in a fight on campus in which one girl was attacked by three other students. last night, parents attended a meeting, one that ktvu was not allowed to attend. the principal said the schools handed out severe punishment for the students involved in friday's fight, but parents tell us more needs to be done. >> a fight is one thing when someone's attacked by a group of people, it needs to be dealt with a certain way and i feel like the schools turned their head to it and they've they've

minimalized it. minimalizing violence is a big problem. >> our crew was not allowed to listen in, but afterward parents told us they were just as frustrated as they were before the meeting started. >> our times 837 police in berkeley warning the public about robberies at gas station pumps. in the past week, there have been several incidents like this where thieves drive up and steal a purse or a bag out of a car while the owner is pumping gas. berkeley police released this video of one of the incidents from over the weekend. a woman was pumping gas suspects drive up to the passenger side of her car opens the door and stole the woman's backpack from the front seat. police say these cases are being investigated and they want to know whether they may be related. meantime, uc berkeley police say $30,000 in metals and industrial equipment was stolen from campus property. two burglaries in richmond occurred at the uc central distribution center between may

23rd and yesterday. police think the robbers got in through the roof. so far, no arrests have been made. our time is eight 3810. members of congress now want hearings into abuses at the federal women's prison in dublin. >> prisons can be run in a way that are respectful of the process, obviously, but when they develop these cultures, there's lots of history that shows it's very hard to change it. and people won't be truthful, because if they are truthful, unfortunately they'll be held to account. so we have to get to that point. >> and so far it's been six weeks since the bureau of prisons announced a shutdown of fci dublin. it happened just after a special master was appointed to oversee compliance with federal law and a response to the rampant culture of sexual abuse, and a settlement is expected in dozens of sex abuse cases filed by women against more than 30 correctional officers at the now closed federal prison in dublin. a lawyer representing 23 of the

106 plaintiffs says she wants to use some of this settlement money to create a first of its kind healing center. jessica pride says she and a partner already have purchased land for that center in san diego. it would offer inpatient and virtual treatment for sexual assault victims. >> time now is 839. most of us. have you turned on your ac at all this month of may? i think, steve, you and your i and we're the once once we did it once club once for like ten minutes 15. >> that's it. yeah. maybe tomorrow i don't think maybe, you know most won't need it today. probably tomorrow. but in the city we're going with a sweep here for the giants. if you're going in the sun it can be warm. it just depends on your your seat location. it will be sunny across the entire field. so get i would be prepared for some warm temps. now that's at oracle. officially i'm going 6852 on the high temp. originally i went 70. i probably should have stuck with it. you usually go with your first

intuition there. these are the forecast. these are the average highs for this time of year. santa rosa they're all above today 86, 68, 84 and 81 are all above climate normals for this time of year. we've been below for a long, long part of this month here. that's for sure. inland temps are bumping up as well from 70 on monday. upper 70s low 80s tuesday. today we'll go mid to maybe a few upper 80s. today not much fog left, only a little bit kind of hanging around santa cruz, monterey bay, but there are some breaks in it. we're already seeing 64 or even 73 in vacaville, but 60s 50s on the temps and it won't take long. we are already running significantly warmer, 1 to 13 degrees. the biggest jump of course, santa rosa, petaluma and novato all double digits warmer. why? because i have a northerly breeze. santa rosa, north novato, north napa is east southeast. fairfield west southwest. concord south, oakland east southeast. so it's variable, but it is turning northerly for many. so sunshine aplenty today. wall to wall. once we get that fog out of there around santa cruz, warmer 80s inland, tomorrow will be the warmest day. there could be a

few well inland that might flirt with 90. and then i think we start to bring it down on friday. mainly clear, except for that patch of fog. that's all that's left down towards santa cruz. 60s, 70s, 80s. tomorrow does look a little warmer. then after that, i think we ease up friday a big cool down on saturday. >> thank you steve a san francisco business says its latest break-in is threatening to put it out of business. what sets this break in apart from others? in the past
