>>the murder trial that captivated the bay-area ended this week in san francisco. many was found guilty of second-degree murder after stabbing bob lee, the co-founder of cash app to death. for more on the trial in a civil case expected to be filed soon from force. vicki liviakis and grant lotus spoke with our legal analyst michael cardoza. >>surprised by the verdict. no, i thought. my mind, it was a they're coming back. >>involuntary manslaughter or second-degree a first-degree would have surprised me because i don't think there was quite enough to get to the willful, deliberate and premeditated part of it. it seemed to me it was more a little bit spontaneous and

then not guilty foot of absolutely florida bay. so no, it doesn't surprise you'd indicated that the prosecution didn't seem prepared. >>to handle the defense claim that bob lee had the knife in was doing cocaine off the knife. what do you make of of what impact that may have had on the trial? well, i'm sure the jurors talked about that and apparently at some point. >>they were satisfied that was untrue. and i was on the right now. remember, none of us saw that video where they're was coping and snort it off the ledge at night many said bob lee had. and remember the family because you pull out the color for state. not right. i remember ground pull those callers tape out there to show and so the jury, i think but more into that or believe that more made sense. but i think the biggest thing to me and you'll have to talk to the jurors, obviously, but i thought that the taxed that

cause are the sister many sent to bob lee after they probably many left her apartment or drug dealers apartment was telling because she said bob, thank you for being so kind and so when my brother was completely. these are the exact words. but on the hands-down emotional. but will that shows that it didn't square many testified to and about the jurors gave a lot of credence to that because she's not thinking, oh, gee, we're going to be in the trial shortly. so well, apparently we are the sister had his number because they need to behave in much the same way when he went on the stand. >>was probably worst enemy. tell you what, at the beginning of this and you watch all b roll, ted, meaning when he walked into court and he was in the orange jumpsuit, i think in the beginning of

trial, he swaggered into court. i mean, i call it sort of there's a out. there was a >>and i come wet weather someone's home. do take that cockiness a court room because jurors look at that and go wow. and then it gets amplified when he testifies. he gets on the stand. he's combative with the da asking the da questions where the judge kept you don't get asked questions. you answer questions. so he's showed that combativeness on the stand. jurors watched that impact that and i'm sure that i if you're that way in a courtroom in a controlled situation. what must you be like in the street? your sisters, right? you probably weren't injured that night. >>appears many and or his family have money. you know, they hire these defense attorneys. >>do you see any? >>luckin trying to appeal this? >>well, i'm sure they will appeal. i'm sure you'll have appellate attorneys once

they're assigned to this case. go find come through myriad of bankers, boxes of evidence. i mean, they'll go back to discovery through the jury selection through the trial through argument looking for things that were not done correctly or whether judge made a a wrong decision. do i think this will? when on appeal not knowing everything. i think it's a long shot, but that's possible because, you know, we didn't watch every second of this trial, right? and didn't watch all miles the motions and before where the judge makes legal rulings. the appellate court will decide whether she the judge was correct in her rulings are. so what about a civil case that's expected to be filed? yeah, i've got to tell you that. that's a motion that keyed in a spade king family of bob lee is hurt and upset. but when you look at the mother many since and mother kept senate self-defense itself to fans. >>and i know in her heart she

would never think her son would do something like session truly believes it and really believes that. well, that upset bob lee's family, ex-wife as family. i don't see how you're going to tie man or the sister or anyone else. this was many name among doing this on his own. how do you say it's mom's isn't how do you say it's a sister's fall? it's not. responsible for what he did. so this civil suit. i don't get that much of a chance. but who knows? i it's it's they're looking for money. like i said, i think it's emotional. i don't think it's going to go very far. that's my up. and all right. that's why we have you here. there you go. thank you so much for joining us again. michael cardoza. >>we've got more nit's been 2

weeks since a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in humboldt county triggered a tsunami warning along the entire california coast, although it was brief, the warning highlighted which communities are not prepared for a possible disaster. leaders in san mateo county been holding meetings with residents to learn more about ways they can better communicate during a tsunami kron four's. sara stinson was at tonight's meeting and happened. they. >>the meeting held here at mavericks else was full of coastal residents wanting answers from san mateo county leaders about what's being done to better prepare for a tsunami. the recent alert being called a stress test for the county. >>totally chaotic. we were

walking their dog on and out of phone line with the tsunami alert. warning we're doing in a row class and then half an hour later, they came in and said that i in time to evacuate to higher ground. a tsunami alert issued on december 5th, still fresh on the minds of the coastal community in san mateo county. the national weather service triggered the alert after a 7 point. oh, earthquake struck off the coast of humboldt county an hour and 15 minutes later it was canceled. but the damage was done with thousands of people trying to evacuate and what that resulted in is people getting on highway one. >>and and in the real event, actually leaving areas that we're safe and going to areas where they were less safe. many say this should the county is not prepared. wasn't really clear that it was highways with lot of people in the low lying areas got on highway one in headed south to go over. 92 which if it was a real tsunami, would have been disastrous. and county leaders agree. that's why they've been

holding multiple community meetings to address concerns and explain communication and preparedness improvements. one of many questions asked why didn't the tsunami sirens sound off? here's county supervisor ray mueller held off on getting that siren sirens because they really didn't want to cause panic throughout the cast. but people at the meeting said they panic to the moment. they got the alert because they didn't know if they were in an evacuation zone or not. now the county is working on making that clear by creating zone maps on a new website that basically tell you if you are or are not in a tsunami zone, make it into simple language. >>rather than saying something like low-lying where people don't understand what low-lying needs. and so. >>giving more clear direction. next year, the county plans to continue its work with education. the new website and an app should be released as well. they also want to do drills to make sure people are prepared. >>i'm sara stinson reporting in half moon bay. back again. we've had a series of dense

days. but the concern for the rivers, especially for the north bay. well, the main stem rivers probably okay, but some of the other rivers such as the russian river guernville could reach the minor flood stage. 34% chance of that. some of the other creeks and streams also definitely worth watching monday tuesday, the strongest storms across the bay area. and then there is the fresh snow in the sierra nevada. so we're looking at rain. how much rain quite a bit in the north bay. that's the greatest amount would be close to 5 inches in some of the north bay mountains. so not a whole lot this weekend, but the most again in the north bay as we go through time. also snow in the sierra nevada. so it's going to be very beautiful, but we'll certainly have the snow temperature wise. we're going to the upper 50's to the 60's mid pretty much everywhere from san francisco to the coastline heading down to the bay. actually the warmest temperatures in the south bay around san jose and santa clara. 67 and dubin. 62, as

you start to head northward again are in the 57 and we're seeing temperatures in the 50's and 60's again in the north bay should be just lovely but not exactly a hot day. a look ahead shows gosh off and and again on again. rain, sunny and breezy, then for a few day for a day and then the rain starts on saturday and sunday. just a little bit. little more impressive in the north bay you know, for other areas. but still by monday and tuesday, it's wet. christmas day is dry. >>prop 36 is now officially in effect, but now comes the hard part to ensure it's capitol

being implemented as soon as possible. capitol correspondent eytan wallace reports. >>yeah, won't know the prop. 36 is officially in effect. now comes the hard part to ensure it is implemented and that's exactly what one lawmaker here at the state capitol hopes to achieve with his new legislation and drug treatment. >>the goal is to protect the public state. senator burke clearly laying out the aim of his new legislation related to prop 36. the public safety ballot measure. california voters overwhelmingly approved during the election. in a nutshell prop 36 will increase penalties for some theft and drug related crimes and it aims to provide drug treatment for some were found to possess or use illegal drugs like fentanyl, heroin, cocaine or methamphetamine, specifically prop 36 as if that person has 2 or more prior drug-related convictions. they are eligible for drug treatment court instead of jail time. and that's berg's bill sb. 28 also

known as the proposition 36 treatment, court implementation act comes in. it gets the ball rolling on prop 36 by specifically requiring treatment courts to be available to all eligible defendants charged with treatment mandate to felonies, drug treatment, if done correctly is very effective. drug addiction leads to all sorts of other crimes. and so the part of proposition 36. >>concerning drug treatment needs to be accessible. it's an burke, a senate and a democrat who publicly supported prop 36 has narrowed in on during his career in public service, including in his former role as the white house deputy drug czar under president bill clinton. bird notes his bill also aims to implement adult treatment court best practices as laid out by all rise and advocacy organization addressing mental health and substance use disorders among those best practices, the constant monitoring and evaluation of those in drug treatment to ensure they are making progress. drug treatment has to have certain requirements

so that it is of a quality that we in california. can expect to see much less recidivism. and that's what we're about terms of public safety just committed a crime. our job is to do what we can to make sure you don't commit another crime. and of course, the state will need to spend the money to ensure these drug treatment courts are up and running discussions about that are expected to take place during upcoming state budget negotiations. >>the spring reporting at the state capitol. eytan wallace kron. 4 news. >>kron 4 news continue with more of your top headlines from across

>>valley city council voted unanimously to ratify an emergency declaration after a rare tornado swept through the

area on saturday. 5 people were hurt. fortunately, none of those injuries were serious. scotts valley still working to clean up the mess they're in for more kron 4 stephanie lin spoke with the city manager said given the situation we know this. this was a pretty scary situation for people living in your area. just how are you in the city doing now? >>i think that we're all coming out of the shock of just having this event happened in our community. you know, most people don't expect tornadoes in california and certainly not. and i'm not in town. must people's reaction. initially was just this ice as a joke. is this really happening? and then as we see in the videos and saw the aftermath, we realize, yeah, this this really happened in our community. and i think we just started to take stock of how lucky we were that it didn't hit a more populated area or area homes. and the damage was was minimal compared to what it. as speaking of damages, what kinds of repairs is the city looking at and how much do you think this is going to cost?

>>so the initial response a lot of work but pg e needed to do to repair their power also are blown over and the tornado. and in addition on mount herman road say it lost 15 traffic signals. and so we've been working to replace those traffic signals. and just that piece alone, we're anticipating it's going cost the city close to $75,000. and so that with the tree cleanup, there was another large tree that fell on the middle school that we needed to clean up and all of the overtime that our police officers and our public works. staff put and out of the wastewater treatment plant as well to make sure that the plants very well through the storm where anticipation well, over $100,000 in damages to the city. >>wow. well, let's talk a bit about this emergency declaration. how is this going to help? >>so the emergency declaration that the city council approved at our meeting last night. it does 2 things. it a point to me as the director of civil

defense and disaster, it declares that this emergency is stressing the city's financial resources and allows us to apply to the state to the california disaster assistance act funding to ask the state to help us cover these costs because it's really not something that our state budget can i say. >>you know, how can people help? >>during this time, it sounds like this is going to incur a huge cost for the city. of course, you have the state of emergency in place. so how can folks help? >>well, i think the communities that absolutely amazing right after the disaster citizens are helping the people are flipped over in their cars. their point branches out of the street. mean, really, this community is is so amazing and responded so throughout this entire disaster. and they've been checking in on the people who were injured. and we really appreciate that. at this point, i think it's really just checking on your neighbors and helping the people who did have branches come down or fences, damage or

other private property you know, that that they can help maybe an elderly neighbor or someone, you needs help cleaning up their own yard because the branches that came down across the whole city weren't were quite destructive. so atlanta. >>while you're here wanted to get your thoughts on what happened back in 2020. we know that scotts valley was also impacted by the massive czu complex fire. more recently you saw some pretty bad mud slides over the winter. how do you manage to make any progress in recovery efforts in those areas? >>czu fire didn't make it to scotts valley. even though the whole city was evacuated or most of it, which has which is quite impactful. so as far as costs wise, i think really we've just been focused on how do we prevent and that future wildfire through hardening and wildfire breaks and prevention work. but the 2 we had 2 mudslides 2 winters ago and we actually are just still finishing some of the repair work on those streets. and that's part of what makes this

disaster so difficult you know, we have over 2 million dollars in recovery expenses from those storms that we're waiting on the federal government to reimburse us for. and so when these when these events just add up, it really strains the city's budget. >>alright city manager molly lego, thank you so much for your perspective on this. and we, of course, wish you and your city all the best in your recovery efforts. thank you so much. a looming

people. there has been thousands of workers who went on strike thursday in new york chicago and california as well as and lana. these workers say that they want better pay and they want better benefits. they say that they are a part of the largest private sector employer in the country, which is amazon. now amazon in a statement road that teamsters has actively threatened, intimidated and attempted to coerce amazon employees and third-party drivers to join them, which is illegal and is the subject of multiple pending unfair labor practice charges against the union. >>amazon says that they are not bargaining with the teamsters because these drivers are not their employees. but we asked workers how they feel about this. but i'll tell you, amazon says that there the teamsters are intimidating people. but how does that make any sense when we as the amazon workers are the ones who started this move message, amazon, that's intimidating people. the people inside their intimidating said

they're intimidating them to tell them. don't go talk to your coworkers out there. they're looney's when. meanwhile, we're the ones out here fighting the cause in the way that matters in the people are inside. i'm not gonna let him go down like that. amazon says that these drivers are employed by a delivery service partners that which means that they are third-party contractors and they are not amazon employees. however, these drivers disagree. >>and these drivers say that this strike, it will affect the delivery time of christmas packages. amazon says that that that is not true and it will not affect at timing because at this strike only represents about one percent of their workforce in chicago. mills hayes. >>i'm david lazarus. coming up, the fbi warns that ai has handed a powerful the dow pix w

healthy 3.1% in the 3rd quarter. analysts say volatility is likely to continue as a new administration takes power, especially with the prospect of new tariffs being imposed. tomorrow we get the personal consumption expenditures index. that's the federal reserve's preferred measure of inflation. it's expected to show that on a annual basis. inflation is now running at about 2 and a half percent. now let's head over to scam land where the fbi is warning that ai is handing a powerful new tool to scammers eye's ability to mimic people's voices. now makes it more likely that it will be used for things like the so-called grandparent scam where seniors might get a call from ostensibly a cop seeing your grandkids is in jail. you better send us money right away. well, now thanks to ai you don't get a fake cop on the phone. you could actually hear what sounds like the voice of your own grandchild, which just makes the scam even more persuasive, even worse. it turns out that ai needs only a few seconds of your voice to come up with a

reasonable facsimile and frequently what they're doing is taking your voice mail message and using that as the basis to make your voice. experts say the only way to protect yourself years, maybe stick with the voicemail, generic message that comes with your device rather than putting in your own. back to you. >>fans of the beloved christmas film. the grinch will want to watch this next story given colver introduces us to a special fan. >>a classic story brought to life. universal pictures. that's kind of what austin pruitt did to a spare bedroom in his valley broke homer. so there's a scene when the young grand making the angel for martha mae, he's not stealing christmas. so much is mask. everything he can get his hands on from the 2000 version of not great. he was hooked from the very first time he saw whoville when i was i want to say 13 years old, ask cost

you know, knock on the door >>over the years he's joined a very small club of people from all over the globe actively collecting anything that might have appeared in the movie or been part of the for rifle. >>this actually just came in yesterday. his heart for green stuff is grown all out of proportion to the rest of him from the tip of his head to the fake snow on the bottom of movie warren slippers. it's all in here. >>not the whole movie, but enough to keep him coming back to whoville all year-round somebodies. well, it

might be the season for giving, but organizers for san francisco, salvation army's red kettle campaign say they're seeing a nearly 30% drop in donations compared to this time last year and it's affecting their toy. enjoy distribution kron four's. stephanie lin spoke with major matthew madsen with the salvation army to tell us more on how you can help out. >>unfortunate to hear about the numbers that tell us a bit about how this year's campaign is going. from your perspective. >>well, we're across the board about a 30% decrease in our kettle effort. and yet that iconic salvation army christmas, carol, started a little later this season, just because the way the calendar lays they add to that the atmospheric rivers and people not going to malls and you've got this perfect storm of a struggling to meet the need we've you can see behind me. i'm actually in our toy drive shot, getting things ready.
