What he wants to do is take away the requirement. The prosecutors have to prove the car was locked at the time of the breakin and now Something Like this failed to pass in 2018 2019 or 2019, but he thanks is going to be a success this time the introduction is going to happen in the state legislature when they reconvene the current law requires that the victim be physically present in the courtroom to testify. That the car was locked when it was broken into. But worst. With the rental car and worst is now 3,000 miles away. And theyre not going to come back to francisco. Testify that they locked the car where you might have a resident who simply doesnt remember whether they if the law passes, then you would need the you know, to be they went into person in person in court. The evidence will be in a few to show like this, all the smash windows and that proves okay. This happened and they think that that would help to convict people. And then the more people that convict, if you are, they say would be repeat offenders. Thats the goal. Now. Well, 905. Lets get to this other big story today. A woman and her husband are suing a luxury Bay Area Hotel claiming that one of its employees serve them a bottle of water. That was contaminated with a bodily fluid kron. 4 Sarah Stinson has a closer look at the Court Documents and what happened.

However, they say the hotel allegedly refused to provide a copy of the Lab Test Results to the does so they could share them with their medical providers. And the couple claims the hotel refused to work with Law Enforcement as well. The couple says the hotel attempted to compensate for their troubles by offering Marriott Rewards points.
