preparing to make their cases to voters. trump once again not attending. while the biden campaign insists it's not worrying about polling and insists biden will win reelection in 2024, the trump campaign is praising former president trump's rising numbers, saying it's building a state level operation to win the republican nomination and defeat joe biden. justin finch, abc news, washington. >> california's attorney general is urging the us supreme court to uphold a law that bars gun possession for people with restraining orders for domestic violence. the supreme court hears arguments on the case tomorrow. today, a state attorney general, our state attorney general, rob bonta, released a report that found death is 12 times more likely to occur in a domestic violence case if a gun is involved. bonta says people with a history of violence should not have firearms. violence is not an accident. >> it's also not inevitable.

with the gun he took away. >> i went in there to help. i came out looking for help, seeking help from officers, people that are supposed to help me, only to be shot and almost killed. >> now, text messages uncovered by a san jose police internal affairs investigator show what officer mcnamara wrote to fellow officers. the message is dated one day after the march 2022 shooting and said in wanted to carry a gun on in the wild, wild west. >> not on my watch. >> the texts released by san jose police chief anthony motta friday go on to find mcnamara making even more racially charged statements, including one that says he hates black people. the city of san jose has faced a civil rights suit since the 2022 shooting. >> so much of a civil rights case depends on what the officer's state of mind was. >> legal analyst steven clark says those messages could be used to paint a picture of the officer's state of mind.

>> i think that creates a whole new view of this case on many levels. and you will see certainly for the civil rights case that these will be the centerpiece of the case to show this officer acted differently because the person that was shot was african american. >> though officer mcnamara resigned and is no longer an sapd officer, green and pointer are calling on him to be decertified so he can never bring his racial animus to bear in the community again. as for green and pointers, calls for mcnamara to face criminal charges, clark says it's not out of the question. >> the way he responded in a text, messages and other avenues was really inappropriate. and i think that will be key in what the da does next. criminally with this officer. >> we asked for an interview with police chief motta monday following green and pointer's press conference. we were told that he was not available and no further comments could be made since the matter is pending litigation and now being handled by the city attorney's office in san jose. zach fuentes, abc seven news.

>> a woman accused of a lake tahoe murder and attempted murder has pleaded not guilty. samantha scott is due back in court november 27th after a judge denied her bail in court today. she and former mlb player danny seraphine are accused of shooting seraphine's in-laws back in 2021. his father in law died. his mother in law was severely injured and died earlier this year. a verdict today in the trial of the captain of the scuba dive boat that caught fire off the california coast in 2019, killing 34 people. jerry boylan was found guilty of misconduct or negligent neglect of a ship officer. he faces ten years in federal prison. this verdict comes years after the deadly fire aboard the conception, which was anchored off the channel islands. 33 passengers and a crew member died, all trapped in a bunk room below deck. boylan was the first to abandon ship and jump overboard. the federal trial for the man

charged with the attack on nancy pelosi's husband starts this week. the man was caught on video over a year ago breaking into the pelosi's home in san francisco. abc7 news reporter stephanie sierra was in court all day as jurors were selected. >> 12 jurors and two alternates will be selected to decide the fate of david depape, the man charged with federal assault and attempted kidnaping after breaking into the home of former speaker nancy pelosi last october and striking her husband, paul on the head with a steel hammer. today, jurors were asked to answer questions on a wide range of topics, including whether they are represented by congresswoman pelosi. if they had supported her campaigns or have ever expressed opinions about her on social media. this is the time for people to express their bias. >> this is the time for people to truthfully say how they feel, what we really fear is that people will hide those views and say they can be fair when they really can't. >> adam gassner, a 22 year veteran, federal criminal defense attorney, says this is crucial to ensure a fair trial.

>> really, san francisco is a big and diverse county, eureka, for example, where they wanted to transfer to is a small and not so diverse county. so the reality is there's a lot of san franciscans here that that i think will be fair. david depape has pled not guilty to both federal charges of assault and attempted kidnaping. >> the trial begins this thursday. we're told. paul pelosi is scheduled to testify next monday, as well as speaker emerita. nancy pelosi being named as a possible witness. we'll be following it closely. reporting in san francisco, stephanie sierra, abc seven news. >> all right. coming up next, had a little rain over the weekend. is any more coming? meteorologist sandhya patel has her seven day for you ping and pong that body. you plunge that body. you green that body. you brain power that body.
