existence for hundreds of years that has worked, that has a 98% effective rate to make sure people appear in court, is absolute foolishness." (rob bonta) "what ruins livelihoods and jobs is currently the money bail system,"assembly member rob bonta is one of the bill's sponors. he says the bill will replace cash bonds with a "risk assessment" of those arrested. "when individuals sit in jail, no risk to the public, they will show up for the next court appreance, but they have to languish, they lose their jobs and that's wrong, that's devastating." supporters of the bill say the system disproportionately affects minorities and suspects who are poor. opponents say lawmakers should have put their criminal justice reform focus elsewhere... (padilla) "if that bias exists, then what that legislature should be working on immediately is revamping and reforming our law enforcement, if they're arbitrarily picking up people based on race or ecomonic status."(bonta) "people are going to be treated as people, not a pocket book or an atm, or just a number."

(ken) kron 4's terisa estacio is live tonight to explain what this means as the case moves forward. terisa? it is considered the ultimate punishment for a crime... the death penalty, but a law professor here at uc berkeley says complicate the criminal process making it more painful for victims families. (take

pkg) sot: frank zimring, uc berkeley law professor. "it changes the dynamics and in some preverse ways." uc berkeley law professor frank zimring has written two books on the death penalty in the u.s. he says for prosecutors it can be a tool to hammer down the harshest punishment possible for a defendent... however, he quickly adds, for those looking for a closure to a painful event, such as a murder of a loved one... it can be a long drawn out experience - that could stretch out over decades. frank zimring, first thing you do is make it more expensive and longer and more public and more acromonize and lenghten out the process. alof ot people then suffer especially the families of the victims. they are told this is the

ultimate, however, they will end up the paying the largest price of what happens. (continue vo)zimring says currently there are 750 people on death row in california, the largest number in the world... he says california has not executed anyone for ten years.... he adds in addition, because of legalities, the entire trial will now be more focused on the accused, in this case john lee cowell rather than the victim zimring. 'the center of the attention goes to the subject now and the punishment because of the focus, rather then the victim."

that's expectedto happen soon.. ken and pam? (ken) another big story tonight. slow internet speeds are annoying for everyone. but they can become a safety issue for our first responders ... who rely on technology in the field.. often in remote locations. one local fire department says verizon slowed its internet service - right in the middle of a firefight - because firefighters went over their data limits. kron4's dan kerman joins us live... dan - how did this happen? while battling the mendocino complex fire in and around lake county, santa clara county firefighters were unable to use communicate with each other or the public over the internet. in a declaration submitted to a federal judge, the county's fire chief says that's because his firefighters internet service provider

verizon wireless throttled down their internet speedsot capt bill murphy/santa clara county fire 23-32their ability to communicate that way using the internet was almost ineffective, reducing that speed down to 1/200th of what you would expectthe chief says "throttling was actively impeding county fire's ability to provide crisis response and essential emergency services." the chief submitted emails sent to verizon asking that the speed be restored, but verizon said "to get the data speeds restored (the fire department would need to move to a higher cost plan... ) first suggesting an increase from $37.99 to $39.99 and later a plan costing $99.99 verizon now says it "this was a customer support mistake..... we have a practice to remove data speed restrictions when contacted in emergency situations.... we should have lifted the speed restriction when our customer reached out to us." but santa clara county fire says there's a larger concern. they say the fcc's repeal of net neutrality, could lead to similar throtting of residents... and that they say is a safety concern, especially during a fire.sot thats a significant concern for us the public needs to access a lot of information during an emergency, how to get out where to go, what the incident is doing and so we rely on the public having access to that information on

the internet.154/on the internet (pam) fire crews have made significant progress against the carr fire ... it has been burning for nearly a month now in shasta and trinity counties. (pam) internet154/on the the internet.154/on the internet

everyone around him." (ken) the president took to twitter today to disavow his former lawyer... tweeting "if anyone is looking for a good lawyer, i would strongly suggest you don't retain the services of michael cohen." cohen implicated trump during his testimony, saying he was directed to pay off women who alledgly had affairs with the then-candidate with the purpose of influencing the election. (ken) trump was much kinder to his former campaign chair on twitter... saying "i feel very badly for paul manafort and his wonderful family. "justice" took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike michael cohen, he refused to "break" - make up stories in order to get a "deal." such respect for a brave man!"

eliminate money bail in the state justice system ... is now in the hands of the governor. since the bill passed in the assembly... some are worried about, not just their businesses, but the justice system. eliminating money bail could cut jobs for the four- thousand licensed bail agents across the state. supporters of the bill say, the system disproportionately affects minorities and suspects who are poor.

opponents say, lawmakers should have put their criminal justice reform focus elsewhere... (padilla) "if that bias exists, then what that legislature should be working on immediately is revamping and reforming our law enforcement, if they're arbitrarily picking up people based on race or ecomonic status." if the governor does sign, money bail would be eliminated october 20-19. (ken/monitor/vo)there are signs the lines are somewhat shorter these days at the d-m- v. so says the director of the department of motor vehicles, as kron four's rob fladeboe reports now from san jose. every one of califoria's 172 dmv offices is different but many of them, like this one on senter road in san jose, are reporting shorter lines and considrably less waiting. on hand to check on that progress was dmv director jean shiomoto.jean shiomoto/director -dept of motor vehicles '....we are working hard to reduce wait times by hiring additional staff to triage the lines and make sure the

customers are prepared and have the right documents and make sure they don't stand in line unnecessarily..."shiomoto says what are called "efficiency teams" are moving between offices gathering data and making changes with regard to those transactions that take the most time. it turns out the demands placed on dmv's computer system was more than it could handle but shiomoto says they are working on that too.jean shiomoto/dmv ".....we implemented real i.d. and a new queing system and electronic drivers license applications all within a 3 month period and we don't normally do that..."shiomoto says those issues have now been stablized and says a new sacramento-based command center is monitoring wait times and making adjustments on the fly that is helping to reduce those wait times and keep them that way.
