viesing their frustration, saying mehserle is receiving preferential treatment. >> he was sentenced to state prison and he never set a foot outside of the county jail. he did a country club bid. he did less than the time michael victorino did for the cruelty to animals. >> mehserley said he thought he was grabbing his taser to subdue grant who was unarmed but accidentally grabbed his gun. the case that sparked violent pro tests was moved to l.a. because of pretrial publicity. >> he is going to live for what he did and he's going to suffer from that. but our ultimate goal is to contact the department of justice and assist them in bringing criminal charges for civil rights violations. >> that was leeann suter reporting. in downtown oakland businesses covered their businesses with plywood to deter vandalism and

flow. but the winds have definitely backed off. we saw gusts yesterday 30 miles an hour. the airport, still breezy winds but 55 in mountain view. it's 55 and upper 40s in napa and santa rosa. a couple degrees warmer this morning than we were yesterday morning. 3 degrees warming at the coast. but afternoon highs, well, they are going to slowly change. so the patchy cloudiness this morning gives way to sunshine this afternoon or partly cloudy skies. a few high clouds from time to time. warmer temperatures in the inland valleys today. elsewhere about the same, but a warming trend getting underway throughout the week, tomorrow and tuesday. in the inland valleys it will still be 80-degree temperatures on wednesday. cloudy skies are parting and the onshore flow once again at the coast but not as strong as yesterday. as a result some of the 60s, getting into the mid-70s out

in the midland valley and around napa valley. elsewhere still below normal throughout the peninsula and the coast. so we will look for a decent day today as the first trough passes to the east of us. so that's why the ridge of high pressure in the eastern pacific will be deflecting this second trough, and that's going to allow for the high to get established, move in a little bit more, and create the drying and warming trend that we've been talking about for the early part of the week. across the state, still looking more well to the south, but numbers well below normal in southern california, just 68 there. sounds like san diego weather at 67. 66 in the southern sierra. we are looking at cloudiness there. it was warmer yesterday, and by the middle of the week some rapid snowmelt going on in the northern sierra. so 90 with the breezy wind. 70 couper tino. maybe a degree warmer in the

south bay today. and up he were 60s from san mateo. 69 mountain view. san francisco staying right in the low 60s today with 59 in the sun sets district. and in the north bay you will see some mid-70s throughout calistoga and clear lake. petaluma, low 60 he is. east bay near 60s again for you. and out over the hills with less wind a couple degrees of warming it will feel warmer in concord today at 7 5. pleasant and 64. upper 60s from santa cruz. still breezy at the coast and less wind and fog tomorrow, we will see low 80s. and warmest day on tuesday and wednesday almost as nice and a slow trailing off of the warmth by the end of the week. >> that's a good-looking forecast. thank you, lisa.

>> as the title suggests, all of it is uncooked. simply raw documents resulting in improvements, including lowering blood sugar levels. several of the diabetics have been able to stay off their insulin over the long-term by staying on the raw vegan diet. >> blood sugar, which is a measure of the swings of the diabetic symptoms, are coming down while they were coming off insulin just by eating the super nutrient-dense, high-mineral, high-density food. >> the team is recruiting people to reproduce the results. they hope it will help promote a va vegan diet as an alternative for managing diabetes. >> so they become models to show folks that you are able to make this transition, this transformation in your health. >> doctors we spoke with were supportive of the goals, but some urged caution in characterizing it as a cure for the disease.

dr. karen earl is a diabetes specialist in san francisco. >> i'm cautious but using the "cured" word for my diabetic patients. i think diet and exercise is a great treatment for diabetes. if they are managing it with diet and exercise, i consider them a diet and exercise controlled diabetic. the reason i do that, is if they stop the diet, if they gain the weight back, very likely the diabetes is going to return. >> to help the subjects receive, advocates help train them to prepare meals. they are also recruiting a network of volunteers to help with grocery shopping and emotional support. all in an effort to change both diet and culture. >> yes, the science is already there. it proves that you can actually physically help somebody detox ify their body. >> carolyn johnson, abc7 news. >> well, if you would like to learn more about the oakland diabetes prevention project and the documentary, we have links posted at abc7news.com under
