and after an alleged fight with his wife. prosecutors show add photo of a video that a neighbor shot of mirkarimi's wife. prosecutors say that during the video she describes that he got mad at her and grabbed her arm, causing a bruise. the defense wants this video excluded because they say that lopez was talking as someone preparing for a possible custody fight and not necessarily as a recent victim. the defense wants statements by the neighbor who filmed it as hearsay. since then lopez has said this whole thing in her opinion is politically motivated. that squ also decided that mirkarimi doesn't have to be here for the hearing that starts at 10:00 this morning. christie smith, "today in the bay." >> a group of teens in trouble facing criminal charges for a dangerous vandalism spree. five boys admitting launching river rocks at homes and cars
