over in europe right now for a benefit concert this weekend, and you know for michael jackson, that will be in whales on saturday. only a couple jackson family members coming to court for the last couple of days. right now, each morning, you'll see how it happens. usually the suv, the black suv pulls up, one or two of them and they will go out and get inside for the morning and the cameras will be going up there. you'll see them crowd around. that's what you'll see here every morning, they will be hearing the tape. that's the thought process of conrad murray, right after the death of michael jackson, that is suppose to be in court today and then we have monday off and court ends early for them today. so the idea is that the prosecution, they will be able to get that tape into the juror's minds for the significant amount of time. now yesterday, it was pretty boring. i need to be honest with you in the court. but one segment that got some notice when the defense team during the cross-examination was talking to one of the coroner investigators about their investigative process on how they have forgotten a

couple of things. some people believe that it was a little win for the defense. take a listen. >> would you agree with me that you made substantial numbers of mistakes in your investigation to this case? >> no. >> would you agree with me if you don't take note, if you don't keep your notes, that's bad investigation, that's bad investigative work, would you agree? >> no. >> reporter: again, that was yesterday when they had a cross- examination of the coroner investigator who did write a couple of things down apparently when they were going through his room. and after he died. and that was what some people believe a win for the defense a little bit to call into question some of the ways that some of the evidence was gathered. tori? >> all right, live for us outside where the conrad murray trial is about to begin. a real shock at the east bay, what happened to the

driver in a flash. plus, the reason why some say the future of growing wine grapes in california is in doubt. and right now, the commute in san jose is not growing. i think you'll like what we are just about to tell you coming up.

saw coming. they were stopped at an intersection at boyd road when a bolt of lightning struck his car. >> and we saw the light anyone right her in front of me. then i looked at my car and it competely shut off. >> the light anyone completely fried the wires on the car, so it had to be towed away. the driver was not injured. he didn't even feel the shock of the electricity. the light anyone strike also jammed some lights at a nearby intersection. time now is 8:25, here is something else surprising. a new study says within the next pow 30 -- within the next 30 years some parts of california will no longer be good at growing wine grapes. they say that 50% of the wine grape growing areas could become too hot to grow high- quality grapes by the year of 2039. and the climate experts say that the grape growing in other areas is actually improving a bit because of the global warming. >> all right. it is 8:25. we want to check in again with

sal to see what's happening here on the roads, keeping a close eye on the commute for us, sal, right? >> yeah, we are. a good place to be staying away from them at san francisco as they are wrapping up a small fire, but the units are on the scene. we'll go out and take a look at 80 westbound. moderately heavy to relatively uncrowded. this morning's commute on the bridge itself, it looks pretty good. now, 80 westbound, a little bit of the slow traffic for you this morning as you drive out here to the oakland area and hayward out here, they look pretty good. we'll go to sal. >> yes, a nice tweet on practice. >> i saw that. >> all right, we do have a clear, well, mostly clear, a little bit of fog around that will be sunny, mild, warmer, real cook this morning. with that in mind, we have had some 30s and 40s, real brisk for this time of the year after yesterday's system. but we're starting to warm up. look at the big low there, the one that we had for the last couple of days all the way into utah and out of the picture. so a cold morning, some patchy fog too. not coastal fog too. it will be a little warmer.

believes that the suspect overheard them. when they left to try to figure out where the party was, that this man, he called out to the victim saying, "i know where you're going and you can come with me." she thought he was friendly enough, so she went into the elevator with him. as the doors were closing, her friends came back, saw her, asked her where she was going, she tried to leave, but he grabbed her, took her to another floor and assaulted her. >> it seemed like how the guy said it, so confident, you know, you can come with me, i know where you are going, that was kind of weird. she should have been like okay, well, you know, i don't know why she went with him. she could have just, you know, i don't know. i can't say. i don't know, i wasn't in that situation. but that's frightening. >> reporter: we do have a suspect description for you. the suspect is described as male between 18 and 22 years old, five feet eight inches tall, about 180 pounds. and he had short hair and is described as being mixed race. not a lot of information for you, but the students we talk to today say it is an important lesson to stay in the group

it will be sunny and also some patchy fog and some very cool overnight lows. 30s and 40s. warming trend though, they will take us back into the the upper 60s, 70s by sunday. but we will start off with some 30s and 40s. the coolest i could find was pope valley and at napa county. at 36 degrees. they are now at 44. they were 41 at the airport. santa rosa made it to 43. upper 40s and the 50s. we'll start to warm up here slowly, but at least we will lose the cloud cover, producing a few high clouds with some of the patchy inland fog. we are not talking about the coast anymore, but with the rain if you don't get any rain, you'll have some of the fog, mainly towards the santa clara valley this morning down to morgan hill with some more popping up over the weekend unless you could get more of a breeze. the high pressure is inching in that will be giving you lots of sunshine this weekend and you can only think that there is a lot of energy coming across the pacific. we will still be warming up, it

will be dry and sunny and nice, no huge warm ups. the the patchy fog, lots of sunshine, a little warmer, they should pick up a little bit today and collapsed at night. and giving us another chilly morning, and the upper 60s, the 70s for everybody. and they will continue to warm it on up with your weekend in view. and i think that the the transition day will be coming up by this time next week. >> all right, thank you, steve. 20 minutes now and the sunshine, at the forecast, for this weekend. that it is good news for the bay area pumpkin growers, delaying the pumpkin harvesting along the coast, and they also meant the fewer visitors. they are now waiting for the ground to dry on out before resuming the harvest. >> all right, our time is now 8:40, the september job's report came out just hours ago. coming up, we'll take you live to new york to see how the investors are reacting.

adding 0 out there -- adding about 0 out there. it looks like the numbers went up even higher as well. so now it looks like the economic picture, at least for the jobs who might not be quite as bad as, you know, that some have thought. however, i do want to put it into context for you, that 103 jobs is a very weak number compared to a healthy economy for you. now, we need to be adding 135,000 jobs for them every single month just to keep up with the adult population growth in this country, so we need to be adding about 200,000 or more to make a dent in the unemployment rate. that's one reason why they held steady at this time. and i want to show you on the ball here that we will give you an idea of where they are headed. and nasdaq, they have been negative most of the day, taking a hit for you today. you can see down around .7. the dow is still in positive territory, but currently up about 40 points. and they are down about a point and a half. so now better than expected

news for you, relatively speaking. it's good news, but compared to the healthy economy. now, we still have a long ways to go, tori? >> yes, carter evans live for us in new york. time now is 8:45, we'll bring you up to date on some of the other top stories. oakland police have arrested the person in connection to yesterday's shooting and robbery, a woman was the victim in a parking lot. yesterday, police searched for the gunman, shutting down the interstate for hours. police have not told us yet if the person arrested is the suspected shooter. today is the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the war in afghanistan. and united states and britain launched attacks inside afghanistan october 7, 2001, in an effort to find osama bin laden. in coupe pow tee know, employees -- cupertino, employees are gathering at the deadly scene there. a meeting in had cupertino city
