So tracking a lot more moisture out there and also noticing air quality still pretty poor right now in the bay area for those of you in the east bay extending southward into san jose right now this evening, but some are proven along the coast and along the bay but still at moderate unhealthy levels there and tomorrow much of the same unhealthy for most of the bay area but the east bay youre going to see the poorest amount of air quality and that is why we have the spare the air alert in effect from now through wednesday tracking cooler and cloudier weather in the days ahead starting tomorrow more coming up in my micro Climate Outlook in a few minutes grant back to you thank of recent the California Supreme Court has overturned the death sentence for Scott Peterson the prosecutors may try again for the same sentence. The state Supreme Court upholding petersons 2004 murder conviction in the killing of his pregnant wife lacey but in the new ruling judges say there were a series of errors during jury selection in petersons trial and the potential jurors were improperly dismissed because they disagreed with the Death Penalty kron 4 Sanaz Tahernia spoke with criminal defense attorney paula canny about what this all means for petersons appeal case. Well, its up to the status last County District attorneys offices to what they want to do i mean interestingly enough the only prosecutor for that county is now the elected District Attorney in that county so that proverbial ball is in their court again the conviction was upheld what was not upheld was the penalty that is the Death Penalty was reversed because the court ruled and its a 109 page opinion or really long opinion. But it said that there was a mistake as it relates to jury selection and so you know in in Death Penalty cases, jurors fill out question years and at least 13 jurors were simply excuse because they said they have a general opposition to the Death Penalty and there is a case witherspoon the illinois where the United StatesSupreme Court said you absolutely cannot do that a sentence of death cannot be carried out of the jury that imposed or recommended it was chosen by excluding jury people are veneer men for cause simply because they voiced general objections to the Death Penalty or expressed conscientious or religious scruples against its inflection and so the court said that that was a fundamental flaw has to process. And so because the jury Selection Process was so fundamentally flawed the penalty has to be reversed. So stan a sauce county cant do nothing and that means that Scott Petersons penalty will be life without the possibility of parole financially that probably makes the most sense for the county and furthermore given that theres currently a moratorium in effect in the state of california by the governors. The statement that there will be no Death Penalty there will be no execution so long as he is you know the governor of the state of california.
