comes after his denial on the stand last week that he had ever sexually assaulted william lynch on a camping trip 35 years ago. both the defense and the prosecution believe father lindner lied when he made that denial. should be noted he has never been publicly -- never publicly admitted to the crime and was never charged because the statute of limitations had run out. this morning the defense will ask the judge to declare a mistrial. >> we are supposed to get the opportunity to question him and cross-examine him and we don't get to. i think it's a laughing stock of justice. >> certainly the main witness in this case is gerald lindner. who is to say what occurred in that room unless he is willing to say it. >> reporter: the defense has already asked the judge twice to throw out the case against william lynch. twice yesterday, first because they argued the prosecution knowingly allowed the father to falsely testify.

bob redell joins us live outside the hall of justice in san jose with more. good morning. >> reporter: yes, good morning to you. the latest twist and the twist is father jerry lindner, the accuser in this case, has exercised his fifth amendment right not to testify on the stand anymore, a right that some people exercise to avoid saying anything that might incriminate them. this means father lindner will not be able to testify further about william lynch, the man accused of beating him up, the defense won't be able to cross-examine the father and all of his previous testimony will be stricken from the record. his decision to take the fifth comes after his denial on the stand last week that he had ever sexually assaulted william lynch on a camping trip 35 years ago. the defense and the prosecution believe father lindner lied when he made that denial. he has never publicly admitted to the crime and was never charged because the statute of limitations had run out.

this morning the defense, that woulding william lynch's team, will ask the judge to declare a mistrial. >> the jury has heard a lot of information that william lynch assaulted him. is the jury going to be able to disregard that if they strike his prior testimony. >> actually want father lindner on the stand. we want the chance to have the truth. >> reporter: the defense has already asked the judge to throw out the case against william÷q . this was yesterday, first because they argued the prosecution knowingly allowed the father to falsely testify, and secondly, for prosecutorial misconduct. the judge rejected both requests. if he were to reject this morning's request the prosecution believes it can proceed against william lynch without the testimony of his accuser. reporting live outside the hall of justice, bob redell, "today in the bay." sating a

they are going to have an effect politically. the health care law, that decision we're waiting for later this week, like we saw with the immigration decision yesterday, a split decision with the most controversial part of the law standing, the law enforcement offices can check the legal status of people they stop but they can't stop illegal immigrants from working or force them to carry papers or arrest them on small offenses like jay walking. president obama says that he hopes that it won't be enforced in a way that reinforces racial profiling. mitt romney in response said the states like arizona, do need the power to enforce their own borders. now we look forward to thursday when we expect the final decision from the supreme court on the health care law. the biggest question here is will they allow the individual mandate to stand, saying that the federal government can require everyone to buy health insurance. >> thank you for the update, tracie. it's back to the drawing board

fairfield, 13 miles per hour. and that wind 5 miles per hour keeping the fog from settling in. so it's crystal clear. just about everywhere at least for the time being. we could see the marine layer push in between the hours of 7 and 9 so we're watching that. we're talking about a mix of sun and clouds and a beautiful evening to get on outdoor you will not be headed out to the giants game. they are taking on the dodgers again, hopefully bringing in back-to-back wins, 57 degrees. catch that game, all the action starts 7:00 p.m., comcast, our sister station, we're proud to be the home of the san francisco giants especially after a win like last night. all right, so as we head throughout the next couple of days temperatures are going to climb from the 70s back to the 80s as of tomorrow. we'll hold on to the 80s for thursday, then friday through the weekend temperatures in the 70s. comfortable conditions for outdoor plans especially if you've got kids home with you for summertime. let's check your drive.
