>> it's expected to be a pivotal day in the priest sex abuse trial. >> a judge could declare a mistrial after only four days of court. "today in the bay's" marla tellez is in our newsroom with the latest. good morning. >> good morning. this is a case of william lynch versus father lindner accused of beating the retired priest. he says he did it out of retaliation, claiming lindner molested him and his brother more than 30 years ago. the judge is expected to rule on a request for a mistrial. this all happened on friday when lynch's attorneys claimed misconduct from prosecutors. in opening statements one week ago, the prosecutor told the jury the priest would likely lie under oath and deny the allegations. father lindner did take the stand and say the molestation charges are false despite the fact that the church paid a settlement to lynch and others. they claim that the prosecutors

broke the law by putting acknowledged lies before the jury. it's now in the judge's hands, he will announce his decision when the trial resumes at superior court at 8:30 this morning. laura. >> thank you for the update, marla. it's 9 -- it's 4:33. that clock is wrong. u.s. supreme court could rule as early as today on president obama's health care law. a decision that could affect millions. the court ruling that strikes down the law would mean an end to many protections for people with an end to financial help with insurance for small businesses. those with pre-existing medical conditions will likely see their rates go up. young adults will not be covered on parents' plans and those suffering from a serious condition such as cancer will again be faced with lifetime spending caps that end coverage once a patient has racked up a big enough medical bill. the court's decision is bound to

have a substantial impact on the november election. >> the supreme court finds itself in the middle of a storm a political storm, in the presidential election that's coming up because it's the president's signature achie achievement and this is about health care which touches all of us. >> those opposed to the bill say the government has no right mandating any citizen buy anything. >> new this morning a small earthquake jolting some people out of their sleep in the south bay overnight. the 3.4 quake striking at 1:13, east of the villages on a remote area in south san jose so. far no reports of injuries or major damage. >> also new this morning, a home in hayward still standing thanks to quick work by talented firefighters. that fire broke out last night at a home on woodland avenue. bars covered the doors and windows so you can see the firefighters had to use a saw to get inside.
