(vicki) now let's check in with with chief meteorologist brittney shipp. high pressure will bring dry and warmer weather to the area tuesday and wednesday. the high will move east on thursday with the next chance of rain late this weekend.

(steve) new tonight at five... jurors have still not reached a verdict in the murder trial of the man accused of killing kate steinle on a pier in san francisco two years ago. the jury wrapped up a second day of deliberations this afternoon. jose garcia zarate is charged with murder. but the jury has the option of first degree or second degree murder... as well as involuntary

manslaughter. his lawyer says garcia zarate should be found not guilty on all counts since he says the shooting of kate steinle was an accident. he argues that garcia zarate found the gun and it went off when he picked it up. the prosecutor called the defense's theory fiction and argued that the shots were fired on purpose. the jury will resume their deliberations on monday after the long thanksgiving holiday weekend. (vicki) the jury ultimately has four options in this case. they can find jose garcia zarate guilty of first degree murder, second-degree murder, or of involuntary manslaughter or they can find him not guilty. (steve) kron 4's spencer blake spoke with a defense attorney-- to explain what all of that means. jose garcia zarate could face 25 years to life if he's convicted of first degree murder, or 15 to life for second degree.but criminal defense attorney brian ford, who's been following the case, thinks either an involuntary manslaughter conviction or an acquital are more likely, because the jury has so many factual questions they have to answer amongst themselves."and

that's gonna involve answering questions such as whether he knew the gun was there; whether he knew, in fact, it was a gun; and whether or not he accidentally dropped it as is contended."keep in mind, they have to be unanimous in their decision, so ford says the jurors can throw the murder convictions out the window if they don't agree on the answers to all of those questions.this defense attorney thinks matt garcia, garcia zarate's attorney, did everything he could, and that the prosecution faces an uphill battle.ford says both sides' interpretations of the evidence shows very extreme polarity, which isn't all that uncommon."when you've got these disparate stories it absolutely i think evidences the integrity of the evidence." one thing ford thinks did a disservice to garcia zarate in this case, was the national exposure it got, even and especially as part of donald trump's presidential campaign. "when it was politicized it was about the immigration issue, and it was largely based in supporting trump's notion that immigrants are criminals or are likely to be criminals. the problem with that is that this case has nothing to do with

immigration."ford wonders if the politicization may have tainted the jury pool from the start. (steve) authorities are confirming that one of two inmates who escaped two weeks ago from a courthouse in palo alto - has been recaptured.

(pam) coming up.. just before the thanksgiving holiday .. a deadly fire in san jose .. was there a working fire detector?(steve) and while many people see san francisco as a fun and safe place to walk around and enjoy the sites, a new study suggests otherwise.. details ahead.

a new report by a bay area law firm points to what it saysare the most dangerous intersections for pedestrians in san francisco... catherine heenan is here with some of the findings - and the numbers. (catherine) san francisco is said to be a pedestrian-friendly city.... but the report - using information from the c-h-p - pinpoints the fact there are a

'lot'of pedestrian injuries and deaths.. and they break down what's described as the most dangerous intersections. the top five - market and 5th streets... 7th and market... third and market.. 6th and market.. and 16th and mission street... the law firm and a local data visualization firm created maps showing hot spots... obviously many of them ---- clustered on and around market street.. they show 63 high risk spots in all. from 20-10 to 2016, there were more than 58- hundred pedestrian collisions in san francisco...leaving 130 dead and more than 6-thousand injured. and there's even a breakdown of neighborhoods..in the same time frame - from 2010 to 20-16 - there have been 376 pedestrian collisions inthe tenderloin.. 614 in the soma area.. and 407 in the mission district.

the study says san francisco has been making efforts to improve safety... but so far anyway - it's not really showing up in those numbers. steve and pam? (steve) coming up, in the south bay... a deadly early morning weekend fire, takes three lives .. and now a key question - was there a fire detector?

( pam ) fire investigators are still trying to determine the cause of a fire... that raced through a san jose apartment building early saturday morning killing... 3 members of a family.( steve ) kron 4's dan kerman is live tonight in san jose with more on the fire and the possible lack of smoke detectors. family, friends and neighbors continue to stop by this memorial outside this san jose apartment building where fire swept through early saturday morning critically injuring a father, and killing his wife, son and daughter.sot i woke up to my family crying, that's how i found out.cousin khanh le says the family is still trying to cope, especially with the loss of

the 21 year old toong and 14 year old yvonnesot khanh le/cousin of victims 25-34 they're the nicest people, i thought of thuong as my brother and yvonne as my little sister, he would always give me advice on how to live my life and now he's gone and i won't get that advice anymore.fire investigators still have not determined a cause by are focussed on the family's kitchensot capt. dan vega/ san jose fire dept 44-53 whether that was a cooking fire that got out of control or an appliance that had a malfunction or electrical short i don't know if we'll ever know but we don't know at this point.what is clear is while fire investigators found mounting brackets for smoke detectors, they did not find the actual smoke detectors themselves, which are legally requiredsotwhat that means is

they were there at one point and taken down or they never got put up, but firefighters responding to the scene never heard smoke detectors nor did neighbors hear any smoke detectors going off.fire investigators will be talking to the building's owner about this. ironically firefighters inspected this building during the summer and it passed, but typically common areas of the building are checked, not each and every individual unit.sot it's possible they passed an inspection without us looking at the smoke detectors. (pam) another big story we are following... the jury has still not reached a verdict in the murder trial of the man accused of killing kate steinle along a pier in

san francisco two - years ago. the jury wrapped up a second day of deliberations this afternoon. jose garcia zarate is charged with murder. but the jury has the options of first degree or second degree murder ... as well as involuntary manslaughter... not guilty, or, there could be a hung jury. the jury will resume its deliberations on monday after the long thanksgiving holiday weekend. and now, we want to look at some of our other top stories tonight.

to be the best he can? to me, that's impossible. he just hasn't been here long enough and i think he'll get an opportunity to be better each week. i don't think we're going to see jimmy's best football, to be fair to him, until next year because that's what guys need. but, c.j. did play his best football last week, which definitely, to me, made the decision easier. it wasn't just c.j., but the offense around him, everyone together. i thought that those group of 11 guys, when they were out there, they had their best game". "i'm going out there and doing the best i can every day and getting better. there's going to be mistakes. there's going to be things i learn from, as is any player or any rookie out there. i think that each week i've gotten better, at least i feel better about the offense" "every offense has its own little twists and little things that are unique to it. new england had certain things that i was just used to. after three and a half years of being there you get comfortable with it. you feel like you mastered the language that they had. it's just trying to pick it up as fast as i can here now." meanwhile down in alemeda the raiders are in a must-win scenario against the denver broncos. today during
