ernest shearer jr. and his wife, charlene abbendrot, murdered, found dead in their own house which was ins zejcidentally in upscale country club just up from her hotel. and now, of course, was the crime scene where even the seasoned lead detective was horrified by what he saw. >> it was probably the most gruesome, brutal homicide scene i've ever seen. >> reporter: it was march 14th, 2008, when the call came in. a country club employee had seen what looked like a body through the shearers' window. detective kirsten tucker was one of the first at the scene. >> as i approached the front door of the home, i could smell the odor of decay and blood from quite a distance away. >> reporter: and inside was like a war zone. blood everywhere. and the battered bodies of two people who had clearly fought for their lives. >> the bodies had suffered extensive, extensive injuries. >> reporter: it wasn't just the odor that told investigators the bodies had been here a while. >> there was a week's worth of newspapers tha

doesn't work. >> reporter: and so ernest scherer iii was found guilty.wo counts of first-degree murder, two consecutive life sentences, no parole. his sister katherine, daughter of the victims, spoke publicly for the first time outside the courtroom. >> hard to have to talk about my parents and the loss. they're no longer with me at all. it does tear me up. >> do you feel justice was served? >> i don't know. it's hard. it's hard to admit that anybody could do something like that. >> reporter: and adrienne solomon, the one-time teacher of the flying trapeze, the woman who thought she had learned a thing or two about reading people, still wonders why she just didn't see it. >> i don't trust my judgment and i don't trust other people are telling the truth. and that's hard. >> i wonder if you'll ever get that back. >> i don't know. i'm sure over time -- everything's been getting better. but i'm still not ready to be trusting of everyone so easily.

i do not believe and after hearing what assistant patrol special officer ernest tachihara said tonight, i believe that a vote in favor of the stipulated agreement sends a message to him and a message he in turn is going to take out to his colleagues. these charges, two and three in particular as well as six concern me. these charges were dismissed against him. that is the way the agreement raids. i find that problematic. >> this is the language we used. this is no different than any -- the question is, i understand the second concern about this language cannot be any clearer. this is what we put in all the agreements. the language is not going to change. i had concerns in the beginning. we could take a vote. commissioner chan: i want to say where based on this discussion where we are. it seems like there are -- there is not full acceptance of the stipulation. there is some acceptance. i would entertain the idea of moving to discussion after we discuss the stipulation. we vote to sustain or not sustain certain charges so it is clear what the commission's decision is. just to let you kno

. >> i have a couple of questions i would like to ask assistant patrol special officer ernest tachihara. your understanding of the dismissal, in particular specifications no. 2 and 3. i have concerns around the dismissal of those to specifications. i am concerned of your understanding of the dismissal. that the way you will take it is that there was no wrongdoing and that it was the actions that you check that evening in terms of pursuing the person you are pursuing and following that person for several blocks in the wrong direction. and then stopping the vehicle and the actions that preceded in terms of turning on the light, having the people get out of the car, dropping the keys, the pat down, and so on. all those things i view, i am speaking myself as an individual commissioner, as violations of our special rules. because no harm came to anybody that evening is a blessing all round. i am sure that you have pointed out and we have heard that you attribute that to your actions. i am concerned that if things had not gone well, it could have been two people that -- yourself and the drive

assistant patrol special officer ernest tachihara, at this point the commission will go through each one of the specifications and vote and have discussion perhaps on each item as to whether or not there is fault or not. do you have any questions as to how we're going to proceed at this point? thank you. as to specification #onenumber , breaking of rules and procedures for special patrol officers with regard to a solid forward facing red light. is there any discussion? is there a move? there is a motion to sustain. is there a second? there's a second. >> do you want to do all the motions at once? one at a time? on specification #one. modifying a duty vehicle by adding additional lighting. we have a motion by dr. marshall. a second by commissioner mazzucco. commissioner mazzucco? >> aye. >> dr. marshall. vice president marshal rec specification #two. that he engaged in a pursuit in violation of the interim rules and procedures for patrol special officers and their assistants. do i have a motion on specification #2? >> second. >> on specification #two. how do about? president mazzucco:

assistant patrol special officer ernest tachihara engaged in conduct unbecoming a member of the patrol special in violation of the rules and specifications. is there motion? second? >> how do you vote? president mazzucco: aye. vice president marshall: aye. commissioner chan: no. commissioner kingsley: aye. commissioner terman: aye. >> sustained by a vote of 4-1. commissioner kingsley: i do not believe there is a necessity to summarize the boats -- votes. yioou are both present. do you have questions with regard to the outcome of the vote? ok. we are moving into the penalty portion of the proceedings. president mazzucco: what is your recommendation? commissioner kingsley: recommendation would be something similar to what was worked out in the negotiated agreement in terms of penalty. i would like to see a logger suspension, however. -- blogger suspension, however. -- longer suspension, however. i would like to allow the officer second chance. i think that he is a person that works very hard. he truly does believe in and tries to seek to serve and protect as he indicated in his documents

and second, aassistant patrol special officer ernest tachihara will engage in training with inspecter -- lieutenant yeck. and answer a ten question examination after that tutoring. or educational process takes place and that should be completed within the next 30 calendar days. >> i wish to bring up i will be out of the state for the next 30 days. it will have to be after february 11. the end of suspension. president mazzucco: it can i go back to work until you have passed that test. >> i will not be here to attend this class. you are putting a date on when i should attend this class. >> you bring a good point. commissioner kingsley: were you planning on being out of the country in any event for the next -- >> i was. do you want to know the reason? commissioner kingsley: no. it is not relevant. >> this was made in advance of this meeting. commissioner kingsley: it would not be working during that time anyway. the suspension -- you would not be working during that time after the 11th, while you are out of town. >> she said the suspension would began if i was suspended, i could leave to

. >> i will change your name to ernest which is an ernest answer. which i like. >> are the ads too harsh or is that the point? >> it is the point, but what i like is the phone number on the back that says, all right, if you are heavy, this is where to act. if you are having credit problems there is a service that is free that you can make a phone call. you are fat, gotta go. you have to help them people and tell them how to do it. i just want to know what is going on with those kids. i want to talk to those kids and say, were you manipulated into doing those ads. >> now you are the fad kid in the fat kid commercial? those ads are insane. >> look, overweight kids already know they are overweight. >> i am a fat kid so i know. >> are they more for the parents of fat kids and maybe for kids who aren't fat but will stop them from getting fat? >> i don't know who the ads are for. >> i think there is another way. maybe it is a giant sub sandwich. don't do it. don't eat this. >> i think people are a little smarter. obviously the point is don't feed your kid

proposed stipulated disposition of disciplinary charges filed against assistant patrol special officer ernest tachihara. president mazzucco: this is for commissioner kingsley, so i will turn over the gavel to commissioner kingsley. commissioner kingsley: good evening. would you kindly for the record make your appearances? >> appearing on behalf of the san francisco police department. >> officer tachihara, star number -- commissioner kingsley: a number of commissioners wanted to see a stipulated agreement or see if it was possible, and we understood that there had been two attempts previously that did not work out, and i understand that something was written, but none of us have seen a document signed yet by assistant patrol special officer tachihara. >> we came to an agreement with officer tachihara, and i mailed back to the officer and others. i spoke with a special patrol officer yesterday, and he had a question regarding the termination being held in abeyance, and so he indicated that he wanted to post those -- pose those questions to the commission. we are just waiting for the assistant p

these candidates, including romney and gingrich, are initiating their outreach for the first time in ernest to latino voters. i think what we've seen is it is knew. i don't think we've heard candidate romney really talk like he has spoken in the last few weeks about immigration. in fact, immigration was something that he spoke very little about in iowa and south carolina and in new hampshire, and today we find that he is moderating. it seems to be that he's moderating his tone on immigration and obviously because of the important of that constituency there, i think is trying to do more to articulate a message of embracing immigrants and the need to address this issue. but other candidates, i think, gingrich have tried to talk about this issue before. i don't think he's gotten much traction. but i think now, i think we're seeing that he also is in a more clear way trying to articulate his position. just the fact that they're engaging on this issue in a bigger way, i think, is significant. and i think it's attributable to the fact that you've got a very important hispanic voting bloc in that

trying hard to respond early -- ernest to a journalist's question, i answered about the state of law and i made clear that i did not support it. let me go back to your central question. first, a settlement freeze -- every american administration that has been in office since 1967, president, secretary of state, administration, as opposed the policy and actions of the government of israel with respect to settlements. without exception. there were republican administrations and democratic administrations. in the roadmap proposed by president bush, there is an explicit reference to a full settlement freeze. president obama proposing a settlement freeze was not proposing anything new. it was a position taken by every prior american president, democrat or republican, over the preceding 43 years. secondly, the real mistake that we made and for which we bear responsibility is that we did not make clear that the proposal was one in isolation to the israelis as opposed to in the context of requests made of all three relevant parties which were made at the same time. the israelis, the palestin
