to be monitoring things in the coming days to determine if it's even safe for him to still live in northern california. >> i guess the question remains can he go home again? >> well, we don't know. we will know more about that over the next ten days to two weeks. we hope he will be able to go home because he's always called northern california home and doesn't really want to call any place else home. if he can't go home, he's going to call another place home. and he will go there with his family and he will productive life. >> reporter: now oscar grant's uncle is promising to be a part of mesherle's life if only as a reminder of what happened on that platform back on new year's day 2009. he was out in front of the jail this morning saying he was here to remind himself and others how much work needs to be done to fix what he calls a flawed justice system. >> anxiety of course. the work that has to be done

here. so to see him actually exit at least in some way validated the fact that he may have truly been here for the time period he should have been here. >> reporter: mesherle's attorney says there were just too many safety concerns to let his client just walk out the door. now that he is free though attorney mike rains says mesherle is going to try to get a job and already gotten a couple offers. >> yes. there are people who know him, who knew of him, who know his family who know what he's truly all about. and people that are wanting to help him out. >> reporter: is it possible he'd go out of state for parole? >> well, that would have to be arranged through parole if he would go out of state. >> reporter: there's also one thing his attorney says mesherle wants to do. he actually wants to sit down and meet with the grant family. we talked to oscar grant's uncle about that possibility and coming up we'll tell you why that meeting might not happen any time soon. live here in los angeles, claudine wong, ktvu channel 2

>> he lost his daughter. she loved her dad and her father. and she was robbed of a father and i'm robbed of a son. i just want accountability. >> just look to the sky and pray. >> reporter: well, it appears the protests stayed peaceful. police only made one arrest forking. we checked in with the oakland police this morning at the alameda county jail to update that number and it seems to remain at one. free bus rides back to the fruit vale bart station where yesterday's protests began may have helped quell any violent flare ups. gatherings are expected later today. we have a call into several contact people for more information as soon as we get more on that we'll bring that to you. now we wanted to show you this morning across the street there's a building with posters with oscar grant's picture on them. a sign to those passing by they sympathize with grant's supporters and family. and they trust protesters enough to keep their windows free of any boards this morning. reporting live from oakland, jade hernandez, ktvu channel 2 news. all right.

the commute. no big problems but it is picking up a bit. about ten minutes ago we told you about a traffic collision just east of the toll plaza on eastbound 80. here's the view from the macarthur maze from our camera. we can't see the accident from this vantage point but i can tell you that chp is on the scene of that collision and the car is now on the right hand shoulder. they're in the process of clearing it all up. now taking a look at the bay bridge toll plaza things are getting a little more slow there. it's getting a bit crowded there. we're still waiting to see if they have turned on the metering lights there. i don't see any reports of that from chp just yet. but also want to tell you about chp is also en route to an accident at the 580-680 interchange. so that's in the pleasanton area. so expect some slow downs around there. time now 6:39. here's steve. allie, thank you. very good morning. happy monday. come on sleepy heads let's get going. burning daylight. still fog and low clouds out there. little warmer for those away
