judge. >> we would ask for another court date of september 5th. >> reporter: and then it was over, in less than two minutes. deangelo, back to his jail cell. >> the emotion was so intense for me. adbut for me i thought to of his myself this is the man that came into my bedroom when i was 13 years old and i haven't known who that was for over 40 years. how could you come into a kid's room like that and do that sort of thing. how can you attack a child? it was harder than i thought it would be. >> reporter: the man accused of being the golden state killer and east area rapist was arrested in april after investigators used a genealogy website to link him to dna at crime scenes in northern and southern california in the 1970s and '80s. the string of attacks included 12 murders and nearly 50 rapes. >> right now i'm feeling very emotional. a lot of anxiety. >> are you going to come to more hearings? >> i hope i'm going to be going

to trial. >> does it give you a little peace that you have seen him today? >> yes, it helps. i mean it's always helped just knowing that he's behind bars and he's not a threat to any of my sister survivors anymore. that means the world to all of us. >> reporter: deangelo will be back in court on september the 5th here in sacramento, and many of those victims you just heard from, they say they will be back as well. reporting live in sacramento, leslie brinkley, abc 7 news. >> leslie, thanks very much. there is now a reward of up to $5,000 to catch whoever wounded a 3-year-old boy in oakland last night. the latest crime has the city beefing up patrols. eric thomas is live at oakland city hall with more on this story. eric. >> reporter: dan, this could have been so much worse if that young man had been hit by an attack bullet instead of bullet fragments in the face as he was. as you mentioned, oakland police are redirecting resources and putting extra officers in high-crime areas in hopes of cutting back on some of this gun violence.

>> when a child this young is struck by a bullet, it strikes us all. >> reporter: the city of oakland provided this video of mayor libby schaaf answering questions about the shooting. evidence of the gunfire is still visible the next day. the back window of this car blown out. what appears to be a bullet hole through this metal sign post, and nervous neighbors who did not want to talk on camera. it's just those neighbors police are appealing to. >> we know that community members were there. they witnessed this incident. there's information that can be provided to us to help us further our investigation. we're asking for community members to come forward. >> reporter: police say they're still looking for suspects and a motive in the shooting that took place here on 80th avenue near holly street. witnesses who didn't want to go on camera told us that people were crowded into the street last night for a memorial for an 18-year-old murder victim who was killed june 29th when at least one shooter fired multiple shots from behind this fence, hitting a car with an innocent

child inside. >> a young 3-year-old child was in the car with his mother when a round hit that vehicle and scrap metal from that round injured the child. >> reporter: the shrapnel wounds to the face are not believed to be life threatening but there likely will be emotional trauma. that's why oakland police dropped by with a teddy bear for the young victim, hoping to ease the pain. mayor schaaf says it won't stop there. >> we are increasing our law enforcement presence, but we also are increasing opportunities for young people to be positively engaged and supported. >> reporter: those are prevention efforts like reinstituting midnight basketball, which they have done this summer as well as friday nights in the park. they also have life coaches out on the street in hopes of diverting young people away from some of this violence. as far as the investigation goes, police don't have much. they can't say whether it's gang related or not. they can't say for sure whether it is directly related to the

memorial service that we just told you about. but the investigation is under way and they're trying to develop these clues and they hope someone that saw something or knows something will come forward. in oakland, eric thomas, abc 7 news. >> eric, thank you. investigators are looking into a construction accident in palo alto. one man is dead. abc 7 news reporter chris nguyen has the latest. >> reporter: at the crossroads community church in palo alto, investigators spent hours today looking into a devastating accident that left a construction worker dead. >> we wanted to make sure that any evidence there at the scene that we wanted to preserve it for osha's investigation, because we knew they were going to come in later since this was an incident that happens at a work site. >> reporter: just before 9:00 this morning, palo alto police say a sergeant was flagged down by a co-worker of the victim. he quickly got out and tried to deliver cpr but the victim died at the scene as a result of his injuries. >> once the facts are gathered, investigators will determine if there were any violations of

california's workplace safety and health regulations. >> reporter: details are limited but it appears the victim became trapped underneath a bobcat vehicle. the work crew employed by r.c. paving according to cal osha was there to seal the parking lot. jake duckworth said he was the only person on site at the time of the accident besides the work crew. in a statement he said our hearts break for those who have lost a loved one in this event and our prayers are with them as they mourn. middlefield road between oregon expressway and marion avenue was back open by mid-afternoon. cal osha, the lead investigating agency, has up to six months to complete its report. r.c. paving did not return our request for comment. in palo alto, chris nguyen, abc seven news. we're learning more about an accident that caused a teslaplo

detention facility located in his city. the mayor's visit came months after he first requested a tour following reports of mistreatment of detainees, but said he spoke with both male and female detainees and said the women were much more critical. >> they said some of the deputies are racist and they i think verbally abuse them. now, again, whether that's accurate or not, i don't know. i'm just telling you what they said. the male detainees told us that this was -- you know, if you've got to be detained, this is really a great place. >> he says the facility was clean and praised education programs that are offered there. today's visit comes just two days after the contra costa county sheriff announced that his office is cancelling its contract with i.c.e. at the jail. stay with us, more to come. a winery owner in the north bay is frustrated and fed up. >> we've had all five-star reviews except for one-star reviews which is the troll. >> she said that troll is targeting her business and she

winery's owner says she is not backing down. >> on what grounds did you want to dismiss? what's your case. >> reporter: google's legal aide had nothing to say. who does have a lot to say? lai laila. >> i'm really disappointed. the court wouldn't allow me to speak. >> reporter: as owner of the winery, she took google to court seeking $5,000 in damages for six months of negative comments, comparing her business to a toilet and much worse from someone she calls an online troll. >> worst wine i ever had, rubbery. tasted boxed. >> reporter: nearly all of the reviews are five star. the one-star reviews she believes are the same person using different aliases. >> this says my bottle of wine as the same finishing taste as a geriatric -- >> reporter: we can't repeat them on tv. she believes it violates google's guidelines. rules and guidelines if no one enforces them.

just say it's a free-for-all. >> reporter: those harassing k5u78 comments, between 30 and 50 of them, do not violate the review guide liens and suggested she have a great day. >> extremely inappropriate and that's why i'm going to court. >> reporter: with no other correspondence, laila said she had no other course but to take them to court. they got the case dismissed based on a rule where the commenter must be presenting. i asked if the online reviewer is a bully, what does she think of google. >> google is morally >> reporter: back out here live. we did reach out to google and did not receive a response. because you can take someone to small claims court a maximum of five times, she said she will continue to fight for herself and on behalf of other small business owners. a fund-raiser is set for this weekend for the 8-year-old girl thrust into the national spotlight in the so-called permit patty controversy.
