6:34 am
director, were both arrested and charged with 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter. a lot of things happening in between there. last year a plea deal was reached for the two men, giving almena a nine-year prison sentence and harris a six-year term. another judge rejected that plea deal saying almena didn't accept full responsibility or remorse for the deadly fire. lawyers tried to get the case dismissed altogether claiming potentially exonerating evidence was destroyed, lost, or altered under the watch of prosecutors the judge denied that motion. new this morning on "today in the bay" we spoke with bay area legal expert steven clark about the the case that could be made by the defense team. >> the key to this case for the defense is going to be jury selection. everyone in alameda county has heard of the "ghost ship" fire. and almost everyone also knows that these two defendants already pled guilty in search of a plea deal.
6:35 am
and that fell apart. so how did the two defendants come now and get a clean slate in front of the jury after they made a very public pronouncement of their guilt? >> this could be a lengthy trial with attorneys on both sides saying this could be anywhere from 12 to 18 weeks. reporting live, pete suratos for "today in the bay". >> thank you, pete. 6:35. a fix to boeing planes following two deadly crashes is being delayed. a software update for the boeing 737 max jet liners -- all right. that's not the video that we are actually talking about here. we want to talk to you about the boeing jet liners. the most recent crash involving ethiopia airlines killing all 157 people on board. and last year a lion airlines crash involving a boeing 737 max 8 killed 189 people.

6:47 am
see it expanded. even some republicans questioning the wisdom of attacking obamacare before the next election. it handed the democrats an issue they had widespread support for. you may remember shortly before the last election, the midterms, mr. trump promised a middleclass tax cut in the days following the election despite there was no bill before congress to that effect. none had been written. none came to be. deaine for the mueller report. unlikely that is going to happen. we continue to watch the president's idea that he will close the border with mexico. the u.s. will run out of avocados if that happens. but it is far more serious than that. economists with the u.s. chamber of commerce said if it shuts down it would be the equivalent of a major natural disaster. we're watching what's happening in washington every day. i'm tweeting bit. i'm@scottmccrew. >> all right. thank you, scott. new details. gnaws is taking another step

6:50 am
spotty chance. on and off through 3:00. another round of showers push through. this is more organized. we will keep the light to moderate showers. notice the timeline through wednesday. on and off again into the majority of the wednesday morning. it will taper wednesday evening. heading into thursday and friday, another chance of seeing rain. the next 24 hours, not a big rain maker. quarter of an inch. flood risk not expected. looking later into friday, we expect a bigger storm. quarter to an inch and a half. friday, that one seems to be more of a rain maker, more widespread. the heaviest rain showing it picking up into the evening, which means we will monitor the timing of that considering the fact that it is a san francisco giants opener. i'll always keep you updated on that. over to you. >> we know that. take a look here. folks, where you see the san mateo bridge, that mist causing an issue for folks to slow down a bit.
