they are characterizing it. rather, it's anomaly according to the police chief moore. this map we're putting up on the screen shows the location of where those people were murdered. most of these crimes taking place last monday. there were two men shot in separate instances that day, and a third crime, a woman stabbed to death with a samurai sword. then yesterday morning the fourth homicide of the week, another man shot to death near south winchester. no arrests in that case. police are investigating whether at least some of these murders are gang related. mayor chuck reed says this violence shows the city needs more officers on the street. how to pay for it, though, is a point of contention. the mayor is arguing pension reform would help pay that bill. pension reform not exactly popular with the police department's rank and file. reporting live, bob redell,

giants all star's associate purchased some sort of website as part of a scheme to show that the outfielder inadvertently took a substance that led to a positive drug test that report fwid new york daily news. the idea apparently to create some sort of evidence so that cabrera could get out of his 50-game drug suspension. the associate apparently paid about $10,000 for that fake website but the daily news says that the plot started to backfire during the investigation into the tests. comcast sports net giants insider andrew baggerly says there is no chance that cabrera will return to the giants. >> obviously he didn't tell me the truth a few weeks ago when i asked him. he didn't tell the team trainers the truth or even his own teammates. it underscores why you probably are never going to see melky cabrera in a giants uniform again. >> now the matter has sparked a federal investigation. the lead investigator in the

barry bonds balco scandal is involved. cabrera's agent saying they had no knowledge or dealings with any one associated with this website. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> tough thing to get out of. >> 5:05. let's check back in with meteorologist christina loren to see what's happening on monday and beyond. >> hey, good morning to you. thanks for waking up with us. back to work monday looking pretty good in the weather department. temperatures this morning are comfortable, in the 50s. 57 in concord. 57 here in san jose. meanwhile you might need a jacket in santa rosa at 50 degrees. throughout the next couple of weeks your morning lows will continue to drop off and so cold start, foggy mornings will make way to sunny afternoons. high pressure is firmly in control of our weather pattern. we clear out the fog between the hours of 12 and 1:00 at the coast, temperatures will climb into the mid-60s in san francisco, you'll hit about 80 degrees in redwood city.

year. the ryan romney campaign released governor romney and congressman ryan disagree with mr. akin's statement and the administration would not oppose abortion in instances of rape. akin who had major support from tea party conservatives also made other controversial remarks including comparing federal guarantees of student loans to stage 3 cancer and questioning federal funding for school lunches. akin won his primary two weeks ago. he was a favorite in unseating claire mccaskill. a lot of attention being paid here. we'll see what happens with that. >> we'll be watching. >> it's 5:12. this has been an interesting and at times a2wild ride. the jury in the apple samsung case could reach a verdict. scott says they will have plenty to play with in the jury room. >> lawyers in the case say they will provide jurors with dozens of cell phones to play with and

move. they are going to do that from nasa's lab in pasadena, california. that will -- they will command it from there. they are going to get it to move about 1300 feet to a place called glenn elg. this is where three types of terrain intersect and they want to check out what type of rock formations are there and maybe use the curiosity's drill. we're live in washington. marla? >> thanks so much. >> to decision 2012. the campaign of course coming right down to the wire, that mean as flurry of visits from across the country this week to some key battle ground states. new hampshire one of 13 contested states that will decide the 2012 election. both sides are campaigning there with 11 weeks to go. today, mitt romney and paul ryan pairing up in new hampshire again for a joint town hall

a reporter asked him if he supports abortion for women who have been raped. this is how akin responded. >> from what i understand from doctors that's really rare, if it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. let's assume maybe that didn't work or something, i think there should be some punishment but the punishment ought to be on the rapist, not attacking the child. >> he later said he made a mistake, part of the statement reading, quote, in reviewing my off the cuff remarks it's clear that i misspoke in this interview and it does not reflect the deep empathy i hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year. but as you may expect the romney/ryan campaign response was almost immediate, reading quote governor romney and congressman ryan disagree with mr. akin's statement. akin a key party candidate won his primary two weeks ago.
