2:09 am
justice system at work. >> reporter: hancock has worked with numerous businesses in silicon valley, but says he has never seen one quite like theranos. >> what's so striking to me about this case is its exceptionalism. i don't know of other cases like this one. for some reason, this company stands out. it didn't have the same level of scrutiny. there was somehow a charisma affect, a celebrity affect with his holmes herself. >> reporter: hancock doesn't expect them to set up shop in silicon valley ever again especially now as the economy is showing signs of a slowdown. >> venture capital has a high bar. you must have done all of that due diligence. you must have a proven customer base. there has to be a very clear path to revenue. >> well holmes' attorney are expected to file an appeal and ask for the judge for her to remain free during t■he process

2:11 am
way and the snow is much lighter. it pivots around a little bit. the thing is that snow has been aimed directly towards the bay area. and orchard park, new york picked up 66 inches of snow out of this system. i want to put that in perspective. that's where the buffalo bills play. their quarterback is josh allen. he's a very large human being. he's 6' six feet tall. it is still snowing there. it will be the big national story as we head through the weekend. our through the weekend, all the way through thanksgiving, near normal temperatures. a few passing clouds on sunday. but temperatures will remain pleasant throughout the entire weekend. the winds are noticeable especially in north bay and east bay. higher elevations, those gusts around 20 to 35 miles an hour. same thing right now. but the winds
2:12 am
