abc 7 news anchor dion us. >> yeah, the california constitution states property owners can hold public utilities responsible for damages. however, pg&e is trying to make its case saying it's a private company and claim in this case the law does not apply. david berry is one of hundreds who filed lawsuits against pg&e after he lost his santa rosa home in the north bay wildfires last october. dealing with the aftermath has been hard on his family. >> it's heartbreaking because they're afraid. and they're afraid of fire and they're afraid of night, and as much as you try to calm them, they still have the image of what we escaped etched into their minds. >> reporter: attorneys for pg&e and lawyers for hundreds of fire victims met in san francisco superior court friday for a hearing on the utility's liability for the fires. under the california constitution, property owners can hold public utilities

responsible for damages under a term called inverse condemnation. pg&e's argument, they say they're a private company and are exempt from inverse condemnation and should be allowed to recover any damages they are ordered to pay through rate hikes from their customers. >> here in the courtroom and in sacramento, they're employing a lot of scare tactics basically telling people that they're too negligent to fail, and that's just unacceptable. >> reporter: while presiding judge issued a tentative ruling saying there is no basis for pg&e's argument, plaintiffs like david berry and his family won't sleep tight until the utility is held accountable. >> you should be responsible for things that you do that cause other people harm. and i don't think there should be an exception because you are a large powerful, wealthy company. >> reporter: attorneys for pg&e declined to comment, but the utility issued this statement calling inverse condemnation bad for all californians. a closed door meeting with both parties is expected next month with a final ruling shortly

breezier on sunday, so on sunday highs will reach only to about 71, 72 in the warmest inland locations, but then it warms up again on monday and we'll have a mild to warm pattern throughout the entire week next week with next friday being the warmest day. so next weekend is looking even sunnier. >> nice. thank you, spencer. well, lining the balconies, looking out windows, blocking the streets. >> not many people can draw a crowd like this, but someone did to i thought after sandy hook, where 20 six and seven year olds were slain,

in practice, seeing a pro like tony or going to an approved passport agency like some post office branches and getting your photos can save you a lot of grief. okay, now this is pretty subjective. but you are allowed to smile in your passport photo, but not too much. it cannot be judged by the passport office as fake or over the top. a couple of final thoughts, check your passport expiration date. many countries will not allow you to visit unless there's at least six months left before your passport expires. remember, it can take up to six weeks to get a passport. now, i want to hear from you. the 7 on your side hotline is open monday through friday 10:00 to 2:00. 415-954-8151. remember, this is for people renewing. your current picture is fine. >> thanks, michael. all right. well, happening now, the 82nd contra costa county fair is open. and it runs through sunday in

san francisco where we'll have mainly cloudy skies in the first part of the day. early morning temperatures will be in the 50s which probably won't bother the runners very much and then it will get a little sunnier after 12:00 noon and a little milder as well. most runners will have finished by soon. cooler and breezier on sunday. starting monday we'll have a nice warm to mild pattern that will last the entire week. looking good. >> thanks, spencer. >> i'd buy larry a corn dog at the fair but he won't eat it. >> spencer won't either. >> i can't even watch people eat that stuff. >> you guys are no fun. >> dan and i, we're good. >> we'll eat yours for you. that's fine. >> you only get one body, you know. i'm trying to keep this one in shape. speaking of shape, what's up with steph curry? is his knee bothering him to the point that he's not making shots? is that what's going on here? or is it the rockets? the problem and some remedies, while dan chomps down on

i support the affordable care act,

and voted against all trump's attempts to repeal it. but we need to do more. i believe in universal health care. in a public health option to compete with private insurance companies. and expanding medicare to everyone over 55. and i believe medicare must be empowered to negotiate the price of drugs. california values senator dianne feinstein

good evening. steph curry is tired of everybody asking association he would like you to know, his knee is fine, you don't need to ask. now the question is what's wrong with his shot? heading into game three of the western conference finals at oracle on sunday, the warriors have got to make some adjustments. fist, defensive end. the rockets are attacking stephy play right into their hands. there is no need to switch when james harden is that far away. he's 30 feet away. partly because k.d. is so hot, they're playing more iso ball. they need to set more screens for steph, get the rockets moving and switching and pass the ball. the result would be more open shots like we saw in game one. as far as steph, he says his confidence is certainly not a problem. >> i've gone 0 for 11 before shooting threes or 1 for 8, whatever the case is. you always shoot that next shot with the optimism and the

confidence that it's going in. so you can work on stuff in between practices and games and never lose confidence in myself ever. and that will never change. >> i know the next couple of days will be about steph struggling to shoot the ball but that's the last thing i worry about with steph. i said this way before you ever said it, he's the best shooter to ever play. i've got confidence in him on that side, you know what i'm saying. we all do. >> let's just give that a rest because he's steph curry. what are we even worried about? >> nothing. the a's lead all of baseball in homers hit on the road with 44. they have hit one every single game on this current road trip. seven down, three to go including tonight north of the border. maybe there's something weird in the toronto water. that's pretty there. this is the second straight night an a's pitcher had to leave because of an apparent injury. brett anderson strained his shoulder. again, the bullpen comes through. josh lucas, just called up, struck out seven in 3 2/3. tonight's home run hitter is

dustin fowler. oppo taco there. his first-ever career dinger gives the a's the lead in the third. tied 1-1 in the seventh, two outs. the a's with three consecutive doubles. right now they are in the ninth and the a's hold a 3-1 lead. now to the giants, bruce bochy perhaps a little grumpier than usual. two games in a row, a questionable third strike in the last inning of a game ended a giants rally. on wednesday it was brandon bell taking strike three to end the game. he has since heard from the commissioner's office after protesting. last night leading off the bottom of the 12th, brandon crawford took strike three, very close to what ball two was in terms of location. so crawford got tossed. then bochy got run. the giants lost to the rockies. let's see if you can figure out the skipper's theme during his postgame press conference. >> it's frustrating.

it's two games in a row. guys do a great job laying out pitches and they're balls. it's frustrating. it's frustrating, those are balls. the ball was down and you're trying to come back and win a ball game. you know, it's frustrating. guys have done a good job laying off those pitches. you know, they're getting rung up. >> he keeps saying frustrating because he doesn't want to say anything else and get fined. frustrating. by the way, this is a true story, there are hot chicken wings upstairs with your name on it. >> really? >> absolutely. >> thanks, larry. join us tonight at 9:00 on cofi tv 20. the man accused of causing a crash that killed three people is about to walk out of jail. a legal expert weighs in on why the suspect may be getting out. then bubbling lava spewing from the earth in hawaii. could california's volcanic range see similar eruptions? finding out at 11:00.

finally tonight, a few thoughts about what really matters. as you and i look forward to enjoying another weekend and anticipate another summer of fun in the sun, a great many of our fellow americans are doing neither. they are far from home, risking all in iraq and afghanistan. it's true of all wars, most who go come back alive. but in this conflict, more than 30,000 american fighters have been wounded, many horribly. they were certainly not forgotten last night in san francisco, however. our abc news colleague bob woodruff came to town to host a charity, comedy and music concert called stand up for heroes. the annual event in new york came to the west coast for the first time and it was a great success. bob, who's a good friend, was nearly killed by a roadside bomb covering the war in iraq several years ago and endured many years of surgeries and a very difficult recovery. he is doing wonderfully now. he turned his personal tragedy into a triumph, creating a

foundation that has raised more than $55 million and reached two and a half million wounded warriors. you can learn more and help by going to our website. these brave men and women have been there for us. what really matters is that we are there for them. follow me on twitter and facebook at dan ashley abc 7. >> that's it for this edition of abc 7 news. thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> i'm dan ashley. for all of us we appreciate your time. see you at 9:00 and 11:00.
