district attorney jeff rosen shared a statement. reading council member becker violated the public's trust that an elected official would commit perjury and lie under oath before the grand jury strikes at the very heart of our justice system and requires accountability. legal analyst steven clarke suggests the d a brought on these charges because he believes they'll stick perjury happens. every day. but it's rarely prosecuted because it is difficult to prosecute and the fact that the d a has brought these charges suggests that they have a strong case in court documents. prosecutors claim becker lied under oath in november when he denied leaking a civil grand jury report to silicon valley voice into the san francisco 40 niners. the leak is charged as a misdemeanor . the alleged lie is charged as a felony. becker allegedly sent the report to the team's chief communications and public affairs officer a few days before it was to be publicly released. it detailed what's described as an unethical relationship between several santa clara city council members , including becker in the san francisco0 . neit becker, the mayor, nor the city

council, responded to our calls by news time, but the team sent us this statement today, saying the 40 niners have cooperated fully with the district attorney's office in their investigation and will continue to do so, however, because this is an ongoing legal matter, the organization is not able to make any further comment at this time . clark says conviction on the felony perjury charge could mean four years of jail time. time in the removal of a city title. perjury is a very serious allegation, and it calls into question someone's moral judgment. and when you have a case like this, where you're asked a specific question, and you lie under oath, i think that calls into question whether mr becker could continue to serve on the city council is set to appear in court on monday for his arraignment at nine a.m. in santa clara, dustin dorsey, abc seven news in san francisco, the man accused of killing tech exec bob lee was in court today. it all comes as we learn more about the events leading up to the deadly stabbing. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard poured through the charging documents
