lengthy sentence because she duped prosecutors -- she duped people out of hundreds of millions of dollars by falsely claiming her company had revolutionary blood testing. defense says she already paid the price for her time and continues to pay the price. >> i think the court will be looking at the low end of two to three years and on the high end of seven to eight or nine years. just my guess. ryan: holmes does have quite a bit of support. they sent 150 letters to the judge, appealing about the type of person she is. one of those letters came from new jersey senator cory booker who says they met at a party. that gives you an idea about some of the support on her side. the judge has to consider the fact that court documents say she is pregnant. that is something that will take into account as they go about

the sentence. we will have to wait and see what that is. life in san jose, ryan curry, abc 7 news. reggie: a new video shows a building with a big hole at its side and cars with significant damage in oakland. this happened around 12:30 this morning near montana street not far from interstate 580. it is not clear what happened. we do have calls from the police department. and there is growing concerned we could be in the beginning of another covid surge. at least one city is pushing people to wear masks again inside. jobina: public health officials in los angeles are now strongly recommending people mask up indoors as cases continue to go up in that area, and here in the bay area officials are waiting to see if there will be a winter search. the chronicle is reported higher levels of immunity due to vaccinations and higher immunity
