date at san jose's santana row shopping center. >> today, police announced the arrest of five people, including a 13 year old who they claim was the actual killer. abc seven news reporter dustin dorsey explains why the 13 year old may face no time in jail, even if convicted. >> as shocking as the news was of a deadly stabbing at one of the more popular and safe entertainment districts in san jose, the arrests made were the biggest surprise to san jose leaders, among them a 13 year old charged with felony assault and homicide. >> there's nothing more disturbing than kids killing kids. no kid should go to the mall and be scared that they're not going to make it home. david gutierrez deserved better. >> 15 year old david gutierrez was out on a valentine's date with his girlfriend at santana row, when sapd chief paul joseph says gutierrez found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. a group of five suspected gang members, ages 13 to 18, questioned gutierrez about his

gang involvement, which police said he did not have. the group then assaulted him before the youngest of the suspects stabbed gutierrez multiple times. >> this act was as senseless as it is heartbreaking. it was a tragedy that has shaken our community, and it demands that we speak honestly about the challenges we face in our juvenile justice system. >> chief joseph says the 18 year-old will face time in jail if convicted, but the 316 year olds and the 13 year old suspected killer almost certainly will not. changes to california law have led to lesser punishment for juveniles suspected of crimes, even for homicide. >> in the arrest. we announced today the 13 year old suspect will likely serve only 6 to 8 months in an unlocked ranch facility. no matter how horrific the murder, all juveniles are mandated by new california law to be released by the age of 25. >> as a result, mayor matt mehan says more crimes are being carried out by children, especially when it comes to gang related activities. >> worst gangs weapon of choice is increasingly becoming

children. they're handing kids the gun, the knife, the bag of stolen goods because they know they will face little consequence. >> mehan says those who fall victim to these crimes, like david gutierrez and his family, deserve better and change isly, needed. the youngest suspects were booked into juvenile hall. the next steps are up to the district attorney in san jose, dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> a convenience store robbery in concord ended with an armed suspect shot to death by a store employee. it happened on willow pass road friday night. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley is following the story to find out if the employee will face any charges. >> here's a guy with a shotgun walking in. that sound sends a pretty loud message that, yes, you all are in danger here. >> this ex-prosecutor in a criminal defense attorney says an employee at snn's fast and easy mart on willow pass road in concord would have had a split second to react when they

apparently saw a suspect armed with a shotgun, demanding another coworker open the safe at 1130 friday night. the employee drew a weapon and fired, killing the suspect. the contra costa district attorney's office said they had no information yet on the case, and referred abc seven news to concord police, who declined to comment on the ongoing investigation. this man saw the suspect walk in. >> i walked in from my house to here and i see the guy walking uh- from that corner and he got the shotgun in his right hand. >> concord police say the suspect was pronounced deceased at the scene. >> nobody should be running, roaming the streets with a shotgun and ever criminals. >> for days now, customers are coming by to show their support for the employee who appears to have acted in self defense. >> they're protecting their property and their business. they're protecting their the

other employees. >> the store says they've handed over their surveillance video to police and have since installed new cameras. >> my customers, they're just coming in in tears. they're coming in and saying, we are so glad you guys are okay. they came and gave us hugs. >> i think the community is not going to put up with this anymore. i think the district attorney is going to be hesitant to file this case, because they know if they bring it to a jury, the chances of getting a conviction are rather slim. people in this community are sick and tired of the crimes. they're tired of the petty thefts. >> in concord, i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> police are still searching for a person they say shot a hillsboro police officer on saturday. the officer fired back and the suspect ran off. police say the officer survived the shooting because of the bulletproof vest he was wearing at the time. the officer was treated at the hospital and is now recovering at home. they believe the police department was specifically targeted. >> something like this is very

rare. yeah, we. are we're ready for anything. but unfortunately, sometimes things like this happen and we are just extremely happy that our officers survived this violent attack. >> police also say they interviewed a person of interest over the weekend, but they have not made any arrests. >> growing memorials and grief counselors on high school campuses today, after the apparent overdose deaths of two students in santa rosa on saturday, a 16 year-old and an 18 year-old were found dead in a home on brookwood drive. investigators believe the victims did not know they were taking dangerous amounts of fentanyl. >> i think it's we're just still stunned by the whole event and we're still stunned that he's not here. i can just tell you i saw him on friday. and so it's just it's not something you expect to hear over the weekend, let alone come back to your community and have to support people because they just don't know how to respond or react. because again, you're dealing

with young people and you don't expect to lose a friend when you're in high school. >> a man has been arrested, accused of selling the drugs to the teens who died. police are looking into whether that suspect is connected to two incidents. on saturday, two teenage girls were hospitalized for suspected fentanyl overdoses. >> tomorrow, the san francisco unified school district will vote on whether to send out hundreds of preliminary layoff notices. it's part of a plan to deal with a $113 million budget deficit without closing schools. abc seven news reporter j.r stone has reaction from parents and the school board president. >> i think any time you're cutting services or staff to kids, it's awful all around. >> meredith dodson, who heads the san francisco parent coalition and has two kids of her own, is referring to the layoffs that could be coming to the san francisco unified school district. this because of a projected $113 million budget deficit for next year. late friday, the district announced that this week, the school board will vote on whether to send out

837 preliminary layoff notices to staff members, including teachers and counselors who may be let go. >> we were expecting something severe, and also this is really severe. it's like 10% of our staff that they're talking about cutting. >> former s.f. usd superintendent matt wayne had a plan that would save money by closing schools. the new superintendent immediately stopped that plan the day wayne left in october. here's school board president phil kim. >> i know for a fact that we are looking at central office and the expenses and programs and people that we have there, in addition to our programs and in our schools. ultimately, end of the day, the 100 and i mean, $113 million will impact a lot of our programing. >> but even if the layoff notices go out, final decisions about layoffs aren't made until may. kim says there has already been interest in early retirement plans among educators, and the superintendent just informed him of good news this past weekend.

>> in regards to enrollment. we're seeing an upward trend of our our early pre-k enrollment, and i believe we just received about 150 new applications above from last year. >> that's all additional funding to be factored in when a decision is being made about the number of layoffs needed. >> i hope that they're using this time to think really carefully about tying every single dollar as close to the student as possible, and making sure we're paying for the things that will, you know, boost our kids learning experiences at the district. >> tuesday, the board will vote only on whether to issue the preliminary layoff notices. in san francisco, j.r. stone abc seven news. >> in addition to san francisco, unified, districts all around the bay area are making difficult decisions this week. tomorrow, san jose's franklin mckinley school district is set to vote on whether to close five schools. fremont unified is considering laying off about 200

eggs. but is it really worth it? we'll take a look. and later, the mixed messages federal workers are getting over elon musk's email threatening their jobs. all

appeals court upheld the conviction of theranos founder elizabeth holmes. she was sentenced to 200. in 2022 to 11 years in prison for defrauding

investors in the former palo alto blood testing startup. the court upheld the fraud conviction and holmes's sentence. it's also standing by the $452 million restitution order to be paid by holmes and her former partner, ramesh sunny balwani, who served nearly 13 years in prison. >> you will soon feel the rising cost of eggs beyond the grocery store. denny's says it will add a surcharge to menu items that contain eggs. the price of a dozen eggs is now close to $5, double what it was last year. the usda expects that to rise another dollar this year. the egg shortage is now affecting nearly the entire country. an avian flu vaccine may be on the way, though, but many poultry farmers oppose vaccinating chickens because of possible consumer pushback. >> well, now, to beat the high cost, some people are choosing to raise their own chickens, even going to a considerable expense to do so. abc seven news anchor dion lim talked with the folks at one local company, where the high cost of eggs is

medicine says in addition to the upfront and longer term costs, there can be other challenges. >> one of the things that consumers and backyard bird enthusiasts need to be aware of is just the potential for them to be exposed to various diseases. we have had cases of avian influenza from wild birds getting into backyard chickens and from backyard chickens getting into humans. >> the cdc reports the public health risk of bird flu is low, and maurice is still a proponent of backyard chicken ownership done responsibly. >> that basically means we need to kind of optimize husbandry and biosecurity. we need to have good things like fencing, for example, to make sure that wild birds and rodents are not as accessible into these coops, making sure that we don't have spilled feed. >> all of these precautions leslie practices with mill valley chickens and works hard to educate others about. >> the phone doesn't stop

ringing. >> in mill valley. dion lim abc seven news. >> cluck cluck cluck and off it goes. >> all right. if you think today is a little gray for you, don't get your feathers all ruffled because. >> spencer is here with the forecast. >> today's weather is nothing to crow about. let's take a look at our satellite radar image, and you can see what we're talking about with the gray skies. low pressure to our north is a more dominant feature in our weather right now than the high pressure system building to our south, which will control our weather for the next few days. but we've had clouds lingering for much of the day, along with some early morning sprinkles because of the storminess out at sea. and that storminess out at sea has generated some uh, higher waves and some brisk winds as well. we've got breezy conditions right now, wind speeds generally about 12 to 15mph around the bay area, and we have a beach hazards statement that will be in effect from 4 a.m. tuesday. that's tomorrow to 4 a.m. wednesday. long period westerly swell will deliver breakers, perhaps up to 15

as the country marks the third anniversary of the russian invasion. a few hours ago, the united nations general assembly backed a resolution condemning russia for the conflict, but the u.s. and russia voted against it. during a meeting with french president emmanuel macron at the white house, trump said russia would allow european peacekeepers in ukraine as part of a peace deal. and then, he said, the u.s. is close to a deal for access to minerals in ukraine. >> the deal is being worked on and we're, i think, getting very close to getting an agreement where uh- where we get our money back over a period of time. >> trump says the deal would benefit ukraine because it would create greater incentive for the u.s. to provide security to the country. earlier today, the european union pledged billions of dollars in military aid to ukraine. >> the vatican reports a slight improvement in the health of pope francis, but the pontiff remains hospitalized and in critical condition. francis has been in the hospital for ten days, receiving treatment for

double pneumonia and bronchitis. yesterday, the pope was showing signs of possible early kidney failure. this morning, the pope received the eucharist and did some work from the hospital, including calling a parish in gaza. doctors say his prognosis remains guarded. >> perhaps the best known secret service agent in history has died. >> clint hill was part of president john f kennedy's security detail on the day the president was shot and killed in dallas in november of 1963. >> hill jumped on the back of kennedy's limousine as it sped away. a moment that haunted him the rest of his life and forced him into early retirement. he died friday at his home in belvedere at the age of 93. >> and if you look at that film, the zapruder film, you can see him crawling, scrambling to get to the president. you interviewed him. dan noyes is here with us. you interviewed clint hill for your 2021 documentary, which was terrific. jfk unsolved, the real conspiracy. he really didn't give too many interviews during his lifetime, especially not in later years. i remember a famous

one with mike wallace years before, and he was still devastated by what. >> it really felt like a privilege to interview him. and you felt as though you were really speaking with an historic figure, right? sure. but he was so generous with his time. very open. he discussed everything down to the very gritty details, you know, and he discussed that first shot. he hearing that first shot, seeing the president lift his hands up like this. when he saw the president gesture, he knew that it was a rifle. and then he jumped off that he was in the second limousine, as you saw. he jumped off, ran, and caught up to the first lady who had crawled across across the back trunk trying to collect some of the brain matter, the brain matter and skull matter from the president. and he gathered her up and put her into the back seat and protected her all the way to the hospital. yeah. >> how did he live with that in the decades after? >> it was hard. it was very hard. in fact, he had to retire early at age 43, because this just haunted him. and, you know, and it took years and years. and talking about this helped him,

in fact, his his, his, his wife at the time of his death helped him through that. she's an author who helped him write a book and, and, you know, he and to me as well, he very much was was upfront with saying that that it's a he has this enduring sadness that he couldn't have done something just a fraction of a second earlier, and he would have taken that final bullet for jfk, and perhaps the president would have survived. >> and what was so interesting at the time, he was just torn up about the whole thing for decades, and it was unrealistic that he could have reacted any faster than he did. he blamed himself sort of unnecessarily, it seems to me. he he he was a bay area resident. uh- how did he fit into your documentary exactly? describe that for us. >> well, you know, our documentary really was trying to focus in on was there one shooter or could there have been two? and we really burdened down on did clint hill hear different shots? in fact, he did tell me that he only heard two shots. he says there could have been 3 or 4 or more with the echoing of

the building. but he said that the first shot sounded different than the second one that he heard, and that we had witnesses who had seen a puff of smoke from behind the trees at the grassy knoll. right. and then that that sound, that shot had sounded different than the others. the bottom line in our documentary is, is that it looks as though there were two shooters. at least that was the conclusion of josiah tink thompson, who wrote the book for which our documentary was based. >> the job of a secret service agent, of course, is a political. and you protect the president, whatever their party may be. i wonder what, in his later years, did he think about the way our politics is becoming? >> he served for five presidents. he served five presidents. and so he really was a political. he was all about the job. but uh- in later years, he didn't he did not like the arguing back and forth, the conspiracy theories. and he thought that the, the heat was just being turned up much too high in this country. and that was reflected in his opinion of all these conspiracy theories

over the jfk assassination as well. but of course, a coincidence that these documents about to be released in a few weeks here on on the jfk assassination, i just it's just a lot happening in this so many decades after the. >> and i know from my, my, my middle brother used to work for the secret service actually. and he talks about, you know, all of the tension in the country the last couple of decades has only added to the concern and the focus of the secret service, because it has gotten so tense. and there's always this perceived increased threat to every president. >> absolutely. >> that's right. i don't know if you've ever been to the grassy knoll, by the way, you have. >> i know. >> for, for this documentary. of course you did. it sounds the first time i saw it. it sounds sort of lofty. the grassy knoll. it's just kind of a hill by an overpass. >> it's really an overpass. and if you see that, though, the area, it's just so compact. if you were to plan a place for an assassination, this is really a good one, i'm sorry to say, but i mean, it just it. >> is.

>> so small and yeah, just a piece of history. >> i'm sure you're waiting for the files with fascination. any guesses as to what might be in there? anything new? >> i think it's going to be a big dud, to be frank. i can't imagine that there's going to be a smoking gun. ha ha. after so many decades. i just think it's going to be. i can't imagine that if there were something that important to say, the cia, cia were involved or the russians or the cuban cubans, i just think that that document would have been destroyed a long time ago. >> so the mystery will likely just continue. >> that's my gut instinct. >> right. >> we'll see. thanks, dan. >> all right. well, learn more about clint hill by watching dan's really remarkable documentary, abc seven originals jfk unsolved the real conspiracies. you can stream it on demand on our website, abc seven news.com, or our abc seven news connected tv app as well. >> today, we're also remembering grammy winning singer roberta flack. >> his fingers singing my life with us. >> killing me softly with his song was one of two number one

songs for flack, who died today following a battle with als. she also hit number one with the first time i ever saw your face. it became a huge hit after being used in the clint eastwood movie play misty for me, which was filmed in carmel. flack's music was introduced to a new generation thanks to the fugees and lauryn hill, whose cover of killing me softly topped the charts in 1996. in november, a representative announced that flack had als, commonly known as lou gehrig's disease, and could no longer sing. roberta flack had just turned 88 years old earlier this month.

dion and spencer joining us today are talking about the extraordinary steps people are taking to offset the high price of eggs. dion, you showed us earlier in the newscast. people are scrambling to poach uh- supplies. you know, chickens to raise their own backyard chickens. but raising your own that's not as cheap or as over easy as you might think. up to $15,000 for a chicken run. yeah. i mean, i've had friends who have raised their own chickens and they love the experience. all of it. and of course, the perk of getting fresh eggs makes sense. >> let us not get cocky about.

our chicken puns. but you know what? there's a good point to all of this is that it teaches kids about how to handle animals responsibility. so there's a lot of upside. you do have to keep the chickens for a very long time in order for it to pay off. if you are looking for the express reason of saving money on eggs. >> my uh, our neighbor does this just a couple doors down and raises chickens, and we've had some of the eggs and it's fun. and my wife has wanted to do this for years. i don't know if we ever actually will, but it's interesting. >> you guys may recall that i grew up in a very, very rural area in virginia, and we raised chickens and our own eggs for most of my childhood. >> yeah. and are the eggs better? yummier. >> the fried chicken was pretty good. no no, no no. the eggs. the eggs were great. they were terrific. >> i did learn something really interesting is that these eggs actually don't have to be refrigerated because they have a coating coming out of the egg. but in the us, oftentimes these mass manufacturers wash the coating off. so that's why we have them in the refrigerated section. >> that is that's interesting. that's good to know. well

tickets are going on sale for a second. go round of the fire f-i-r-e festival. if you don't remember the first festival eight years ago, here's a refresher. it was billed as a luxury music festival in the bahamas. seemed like a great idea. it failed spectacularly. the organizer, in fact, billy mcfarland, served six years in prison for fraud. well, now he's promoting fyre festival two in mexico. tickets go from $1,400 to 1.1 million. even before knowing which musical acts will actually perform if they do. spencer, there's a saying once bitten, twice shy. can you imagine anyone going for this? i mean, i thought the fyre festival when it was announced was a great idea, but of course it just was a total bust. i don't know if people would go for it a second time. >> well, i was going to say that, and especially at these prices. right. i mean, these prices seem pretty outrageous for something that didn't happen the first time. >> i mean, for a branding reason. i don't think they should still call it the fyre

festival. i mean, maybe brand it somewhere else, have somebody else run it. it's just, i don't know, so tainted right now. maybe that's the point, right? to generate all this business. look, it's on the news now. >> we're talking about it. >> yeah, sure. but he couldn't pull it off the first time. you know who's going to invest in it the second time? be interesting to see. >> yeah. all right. in france, a victim of a robbery is demanding that thieves turn themselves in so he can cash in. the thieves won $523,000 on a scratch off lottery ticket they bought with a credit card from the man's wallet they had stolen. so now the victim is offering to split the cash with the thieves if they just turn themselves in. >> how do you think that's going to go? >> uh. >> and i won't press charges. >> yeah, exactly. >> right. >> yeah, right. >> they are thieves, after all. i don't. >> yeah. >> i don't expect them to come forward. >> yeah. not a lot of hope on this one. >> yeah. oh, man. >> poor guy. i know. talk about insult to injury, right? >> yeah. >> all right, well, family cat used several of its nine lives to survive a cross country move.

it all began when the hanson family lost their cat. while packing up to move from washington state to colorado. fast forward three weeks to when their furniture arrived in their new home, when they heard a meow from inside a shrink wrapped sofa. it was their cat, sonny lou, who hid there and spent three weeks trapped in storage and hauling. the cat was emaciated, of course, with no food or water the entire time. doing fine now. back resting on top of the sofa. thank goodness. >> unbelievable. >> wow. >> three weeks. no food or water. and not only survived, but is back in good health. >> what a miracle. i think the family is going to hold on to this cat a little bit tighter going forward. >> he may have had more than nine lives. yeah, well. >> poor thing. yeah. it must not have been too extreme in terms of heat or cold, because that would have tipped the scale. >> but still. yeah. >> it looks like it might need therapy for a long time. cat therapy. did they do that? >> i'm sure they. >> got everything these days. >> yeah. he survived a

catastrophic situation. oh. >> see, that just goes to show you, like, cats can be very quiet in the packers. just didn't notice. that would never happen with a dog, right? >> yeah. that's true. >> yeah. >> that's true. all right, well, that is this edition of the four. >> speak up. we'll be right. ♪ [trunk whirring open] ♪ ♪ [footsteps running] [car driving]

outside the box, like taking something you might normally find on your dinner table and turning it into a building material.

>> as abc seven news meteorologist drew tuma shows you some innovative bio engineers meeting at the california college of the arts showed us technology that can do exactly that. >> if you're building a house on mars, you might want to consider mushroom roots. >> a lander putting the pre-seeded mycelium structure there. >> and maybe throw a little hemp into the mix for a housing development in oakland. >> and it basically acts as a glue and it binds the agricultural waste. this agricultural waste is actually either landfilled or burned. >> and why not add in some eggshell bricks just to round out the recipe? just ask claire lefler, architectural research fellow at the california college of the arts, which is joining with several companies to explore the power and possibilities of so-called biomaterials. >> i think we just wanted to show kind of the potential and different boundaries that architecture is starting to break. >> the potential is drawing architects and bioengineers from across the country into the conversation. kris bowers red house studio uses mycelium, or

the root system of fungi, to create building materials from plants and organic waste in places like africa. they're also working with nasa ames on a concept that would transport mushroom seed stock to grow structures on a someday mars space station. >> yeah, the plan is to go with an inflatable structure that has an exterior shell of bioreactors, so you can take grams of microorganisms and grow them into millions of tons of building materials. >> it's a concept that's also getting off the ground right here in the bay area. arthur vanek is with software design innovator autodesk. they're working with architects in west oakland to reduce the carbon footprint of a major housing development by using a mycelium and hemp material for the exterior. >> and so we're lowering the total embodied carbon of the building by 20%, just by replacing the skin of the building. >> across the room. a team from the university of pennsylvania showed us a printed material that can react from everything from uv rays and sunlight to

heat. >> we would be able to see heat exchanges that are not happening where we want them to happen. heat retention, heat leaks. >> the strategy is essentially crowdsourcing biomaterial dreamers to take on the biggest goals, from space stations to net zero carbon neutral buildings and staying climate ready. >> there's like some connective tissue here. and if we if we spent more time kind of exploring what that is, it might result in something really impactful. >> in san francisco, drew tuma, abc seven news. >> now, the bioengineering strategy also works as a strong form of recycling, including plant waste rescued from landfills and eggshells donated from local restaurants as well. >> all right. do you know how many people across the country are envious of our weather that we're about to have? >> most everybody. >> yeah, that's about right. >> yeah. spencer is here with that. >> okay, let's take a look at our weather headlines tomorrow through friday. we can expect sunny skies and spring like warmth. now the warming peaks midweek, wednesday with temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above average for

this time of the year. that's pretty warm. and the weekend outlook calls for something very different. a different weather pattern. cooler, cloudier with rain chances. let's do the forecast animation for tonight starting at 5:00. you can see the clouds will remain with us going into the late night hours, but they'll start to part a little bit early tomorrow morning. so tomorrow will begin with sunny skies, and there'll be some little sprinkles offshore that are not likely to move onshore during the overnight hours. overnight low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 40s. and then tomorrow look for highs of low 60s near the coast, mid to upper 60s near the bay shoreline and mid to upper 60s inland. not a lot higher than today's highs were, but still higher than average for this time of the year. now here's the accuweather seven day forecast. as you can see, wednesday is going to be the warmest day in the forecast period, with highs up to about 7475 degrees near the bay and inland. mid 60s on the coast. not much of a drop off on thursday and friday. we'll see low 70s inland and near the bay, but then things get cooler and cloudier on saturday, which is first day of march.

sunday, oscar sunday. we expect a chance of showers into monday morning. at the moment we can't. we're not putting a rating or ranking on the storm impact scale for this system, but we may get a little bit of wet weather out of it. by the way, oscar sunday can be oscar sunday. oscars can be viewed right here on abc seven on sunday. dan and kristen. >> like this. it is like super bowl. it's like oscar sunday. >> yeah, it's a big deal. >> to me. even more exciting. all right. and the oscars are just days away. >> coming up next, a look at a film nominated in one of the lesser known categories. but the subject matter of this movie couldn't be more timely. we'll have that with chronic migraine? 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting 4 hours or more.

14 minute movie was actually shot during the pandemic, but due to recent immigration orders signed by president trump. it is perhaps more timely than ever. >> it's exciting and challenging and heartbreaking, but but also satisfying that the film is sort of meeting its moment right now. and i think it's really exciting that we can be part of a small part of the larger conversation that's been happening in our country about immigration and how we kind of want it to go about. >> i just had the interview. it doesn't make sense. it's okay. it doesn't. hey, get your hands off my daughter. calm down. she's a she's a citizen. where is her? what's going on? what's downstairs? i just gave it to you guys. >> the filmmaking brothers behind alien. hope it strikes a chord when you watch it. >> making sure that you walked away saying, this is actually happening here in the united states today felt like a really important par, you know, to really sink in this film and to make it actually matter and not just be, you know, some, some fictionalized,

stress inducing, you know, piece of art. >> mr. gomez. >> do you know what you're putting us through? >> i think it's intentional. and, you know, i think it's our our hope is that the film can, you know, really put you in the shoes of somebody going through this process. >> the brothers are now going through the process of oscar season and daring to dream. >> sam and i love stories, and we have just piles of stories that we want to tell. and so, you know, we keep digging from we've been digging from the short film pile, but we, you know, we have so many longer pieces that we're so excited to tell. >> i think our next project will be our first feature. that's what's going to happen for us next, i think, and it's very exciting. the script is done and we're just kind of figuring out the last few pieces of it. >> in los angeles. george pennacchio, abc seven news. >> the last stop for award season airs next sunday right here on abc seven, and for the first time, the oscars will stream live on hulu as well. so
