>> reporter: the department in fact believes it is missing a key piece of evidence. she described it as a critical electronic device that has not been turned over. it appears the sheriff's department may have been hoping to get pictures relating to the case from that device. also, we received a statement, this statement from attorneys for the three boys accused if the case. it has four simple sentences making a strong point. quote, much of what has been reported over the last several days is inaccurate. most disturbing is the attempt to link audrie's suicide to the specific actions of these three boys. we are hopeful, the statement continues, that everyone understands these boys who have never been in trouble with the law are to be regarded as innocent. due to the juvenile nature of the proceedings, we believe it inappropriate to comment at this point. when it comes to how much of the investigation we can review, that's key.

this case is currently thought met the state's threshold to charge the three teenagers as adult. if the juvenile system details of the case will remain sealed. after months of investigating we have confirmed the case is currently it the juvenile court system balls the three accused are under the age of 18. if it stays in the juvenile courts it means any trial will not be open to the public and that also means all records and details of the district attorney's case will not be public. but that does not mean the case of remain permanently in the juvenile system. the judge can be asked to move the case to adult court. that decision and that hearing, if it happens, will not be public. so the next major legal move is a decision by the d.a. to possibly ask a judge to move the case to adult court. nbc, bay area news.

this week, california saw record lotto sales since becoming the newest powerball member, and it doesn't hurt that tonight's drawing is a whoping $70 million. in theory, this should be a big win for public education, which benefits from the lottery, right? investigating the claim that powerball will provide a shot this the arm for schools in this morning's reality check. >> reporter: with the debut of powerball in california this week, you practically can't go anywhere without tripping over something powerball related. lotto enthusiasts are amped up

about inflated jackpots. but also a waterfall of new money coming to california public schools. right? how much of a difference do you think powerball here in california will make in terms of school funding? >> oh, a huge amount. >> reporter: but it turns out the odds of plucking the red ball might be better still than seeing a cascade of money coming to california education from lotto. here's california lottery spokesperson, alex traverseo. >> it's one of the hardest things we face in our job every day is to get people to understand that the lottery wasn't created to fully fund education. ta wasn't the purpose. >> reporter: okay. but even as a supplemental fund, the lotto numbers might surprise you. according to the california department of education, overall spending for california public schools is about $68 billion annually. of that, $1.3 billion, roughly 1.9%, comes from lottery games.

then there's powerball which according toútraverseo is expected to bring in about $50 million a year. or roughly .07% of the overall budget. still think that's a huge amount? are you surprised to hear this? or is that in line with what you thought it would be? >> i'm surprised to hear that. you know, that's -- monetarily? >> tying it to education, we appreciate the money, but to say it's saving our schools is giving the wrong message to the public. because it is not. >> reporter: sheila jordan is superintendent of alameda county schools, which received about $45 million in lottery funding in the last reported year, 2011-2012. we asked her what an additional $50 million from powerball might be able to buy for california schools. >> in some districts, it can buy a portion of a teacher. that's about how much money we're getting. some people use it for art

supplies, field trips. >> we've been getting $45 million, $46 million next year as a result of powerball, do you think that will have an impact? >> you know, no. it's not going to change it. >> as you can see here, the lottery brings in a modest amount of money to california schools, relatively speaking. but the money that does get generated, how is it divvied up. that's the next question. 54% goes back to the jackpot to pay the winner. 13% goes to administrative costs and another 32% actually goes to the schools. then of that, some, about three-quarters of it, goes to k-12. it just gets parsed and parsed and parsed. we now know it truly is a supplemental source of revenue. sam brock. that's today's reality check. more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, it is not war they

want, it's black mail. that's what some experts say about north korea. new twists coming up.

notice the winds picking up a little bit during the afternoon today. i think more so for tomorrow. by lunchtime, pretty nice. 70s at times, and cooling as we head into the evening. tomorrow looks cooler. a lot cooler, actually, for the next couple of mornings. monday into tuesday could see 30s. in some of the valleys for the mornings. we'll talk more about the cooldown and warm-up for the second half of the forecast coming up. >> thanks, rob. secretary of state john kerry is it china this morning. kerry began his visit by meeting china's foreign minister in beijing. the obama administration hopes that that country can convince its neighbor and ally, north korea, to stand down. china is north korea's main trade partner, and financial backer. kerry is also expected to meet with other top government officials there later in the day. we are learning more about why north korea seems to be so belligerent lately. analysts say it really doesn't

want nuclear war, but that instead it is using threats as blackmail for aid and raising its own profile. >> the crisis, then they essentially expect payment to back off. >> analysts think north korea will test a missile possibly monday, then ask for money to not do it again. new video this morning of a dramatic rescue at sea in bali. that is a plane that is halfway submerged in the water, and more than 20 people were hurt when that plane carrying about 100 passengers to the island overshot the runway and crashed into the sea today. officials say everyone onboard was rescued, but 22 people were taken to the hospital for their injuries. the cause of the crash is under investigation. new this morning, at least 22 people are hurt after a strong magnitude 5.2 earthquake rattled parts of japan this

"today in the bay's" george

kiriyama has the story. >> reporter: five years ago, he and his colleagues at lehigh university in pennsylvania developed this. a 242-page curriculum on sexual assault prevention for school districts. >> nothing is fully preventable. we won't be able to fully prevent sexual assault unfortunately. but if it does occur, we can have a system where kids can go to teachers or designated people to help them get help that they need. >> reporter: his curriculum calls for schools to create safe zones, where kids can feel comfortable to talk about difficult issues. >> it's not just the counselors, but if the teachers have training in this, then teachers also can be the first line of intervention. so a kid will say, you know, i'm feeling depressed, or the teacher may notice some behavior. >> reporter: he believes an honest conversation must begin at schools. it's already happening at palo alto high school. >> it's never, her or his fault.

it's always, always the rapist's fault. so what if he's drinking, or she's drinking, don't rape. >> reporter: the cover story focusing on high school student rape came out days before the development of saratoga high. >> we were hoping for, if not change, at least this course. and this happening so quickly afterwards. it's very, very sad. >> reporter: no school district in the united states is currently using a sexual assault fre vengs curriculum, but he said it's talking about sex and rape. >> i think it takes courage for administrators and teachers and parents to put some type of program like this together and to be open to having it type of program. >> that was george kiriyama reporting. although there are no schools in the bay area or in the country using ladani's curriculum, there is one school, one american school in berlin, germany, that

is. there is a man who served an entire 15-year sentence for a crime he did not commit. and this morning he is the keynote speaker at cal state east bay and he's telling his story hoping that what happened to him will help educate officers.

for a law enforcement community summit. >> law enforcement was responsible for the wrongful conviction that happened to him. i think it's very important for law enforcement to take a hard look at themselves and say, are we doing business the right way. >> reporter: hayward police chief diane urban met swift at a conference in san diego and thought swift's story would be a great fit to help her officers connect with the people they serve. >> what a great opportunity for local bay area agencies to talk about it, to make sure that our investigators don't involve themselves in work like that, bad interrogations, bad interview techniques. >> reporter: swift says walking into hayward's interrogation room brings back memories he would rather forget. >> a whole lot different. >> reporter: but now he would like to focus on the positive. >> i truly believe every officer is not bad. i think most people would say that i have every right to be angry and hateful.

"for all that he accomplished

and great strides made over the last two decades, there has been a major decline in the number of african-americans playing baseball today. kimberly tere shows us one of the possible reasons why. >> reporter: 42 brings us back to the 1940s, as jackie robinson was recruited to play for the brooklyn dodgers. the first black player in the major leagues, changed the game that had been divided by color. now nearly seven decades after robinson paved the way, major league baseball is seeing a drastic decline in the number of african-american players. >> jackie was an exception, a force for all americans. but if he came along in this day and age, he probably would be much more involved in football or basketball than america's first sport. and that's a sad commentary on

where we seem to be headed. >> reporter: on this season's opening day roster, the percentage of african-american players was 8.5%, down from 90% in 1995. and 27% in 1975. the world champion giants are among several clubs without a single african-american player. >> that's going to become more and more a sad but predictable norm if things don't change in the decades ahead. >> reporter: what's behind the declining numbers? san jose state african-american studies professor dr. steven mill ner said baseball has become very costly to play. he said youth are drawn to sports that will give them more notoriety and a big salary straight out of college. >> when they look at major league baseball, it's like, you know, i don't want to play major league baseball, because i don't even see anyone that looks like me out there. so why should i want to go in that direction.

>> reporter: damian is part of the african-american baseball league in oakland. he says it's important to keep the sport jackie robinson loved so much alive for black youth. he's also hoping playing in the local league will inspire them to take more interest in the history and the future of the game. kimberly tere, "today in the bay." still ahead on "today in the bay," it could be a devastating blow to the lakers. the latest on kobe bryant's injury last night. that's coming up. hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios

looking live at the coliseum this morning. the a's taking on the detroit tigers today. first pitch 1:05 this afternoon. beautiful weather for it. the a's continue to be the hottest team in baseball. game one of the series last night against the tigers would go to extra innings. bottom of the 12th, donaldson homers to right. the a's win 4-3 to extend their

win streak to nine games. while the streak continues for the a's, the giants' win streak of four games snaps in chicago yesterday. the orange and black mounted a comeback in the ninth inning to go ahead 3-2. but then closer sergio romo blew the first save of the season. and the cubs win 4-3. bum gardner on the hill for the series today. first pitch 10:05 this morning. from the diamond to the court, and the warriors will be back at home on monday to take on the san antonio spurs. but last night they were down south visiting the lakers. horrible news for the lakers. kobe bryant may have torn his achilles in the game. he will have an mri later today. but despite his injury and a 47-point night, they beat the warriors 118-116. what a bummer. the third round of the masters is now under way.

and one of the major story lines is a 14-year-old who is the youngest player to ever make the cut in the pga sanctioned event. meantime, tiger woods will look back to bounce back today after bad luck yesterday. he shot into the water. he would bogey the hole. the outright leader is jason day at 6 under. much more ahead on "today in the bay." including the story of this little poodle who believe it or not was blind when he was rescued, and now he's not. we'll tell you how that worked out coming up.

this morning we have our special friends from pets in need. this time, very, very special lisa simmons brought arthur who is ready for a new home.

you were telling me he was blind when he was rescued. and there goes the robot. there we go. he was blind when he was rescued. but now he can see. >> he can. he was blind, and we went ahead and rescued him. he's an incredible little dog. luckily we had the funds, a donor made a fund to help special little dogs that need the little extra, that sometimes it's difficult for a nonprofit to afford. so we were able to have -- we took him to a specialist. he had cataract surgery. and he can see again. >> that makes him a lot easier to place in a home. >> absolutely. he's sort of -- he's just the sweetest little dog. even blind, his tail was constantly wagging. sometimes they get afraid of things. not him. he just loves people. other animals. he's just incredible. >> this brings us to something that i think is interesting. not everybody's in a position to adopt a pet.

not everybody is in a position to take on something like that. it's a big responsibility. there are other ways you can help as well. find out more about fluffy's fund, or about arthur who's ready for his forever home at pets in need.org. lisa, thanks so much for coming in. >> thank you. >> thank you for joining us this saturday morning. we'll be back with you bright and early tomorrow.
