morgan hill a couple years ago. that was presented as a pattern of behavior to bolster the district attorney's case. now garcia torres's attorney wanted the zwrouj keep the grand jury indictment sealed saying that garcia torres cannot get a fair trial of all the public knows about the details of the case. it is considered largely a public document and so unless the defense secure an appeal to overturn this order. the documents will be released at 5:00 on the courthouse steps right behind me. kris sanchez, "today in the bay,". >> thank you. this morning, san francisco police want to talk to anyone who witnessed a brutal beating near at&t park yesterday that sent a woman to the hospital. the woman tried to break up a fight between two men near second and king streets and was punched in the face and knocked out. this morning, she's in the hospital with serious head injuries. another man was treated at the scene. it happened about 6:00 last night. a couple of hours after the
