Developing news out of San Francisco where a swimmer was severely injured after being bitten by a sea lion. The victim was swimming at aquatic park. Just after 2 pm. Sky fox over the scene about an hour ago. Fire officials picked up the victim in a boat and transported the person to appear 45. They have used a tourniquet to ease bleeding. At this time we dont have any other information about the victim or the injuries. We will keep you posted. The Mexican National accused in the death of kate steinle will be sentence for a gun possession charge january 5. He shot the 32yearold steinle on instance on a peer in 2015. He was acquitted of her death by a jury. They determined the shooting was an accident and that the gun he found on the peer had misfired. Now his attorneys are asking for a new child to have the gun possession conviction overturned. Defense attorney argued that the judge in the case failed to give the jury become correct instructions about that charge. He now faces federal charges against him from the department of justice for the death. Defense attorneys say the outcome of this latest motion could impact that federal case. It is obvious that the federal government is upset that he was found not guilty. So they immediately brought charges even before they had a copy of the transcript. They have no idea what the jury asked. The motion for a new trial was filed this morning. Presented system the District Attorneys Office have not had a chance to review the motion and will have a more detailed response. Some breaking news a decision today in court on the deadly warehouse fire in oakland. We learned Derek Almeida the Master Tenant of the warehouse and max harris will in fact stand trial on 36 counts of Involuntary Manslaughter. The judge made the ruling just in the past 10 minutes. As you may recall 36 were killed in the warehouse fire. For more on these cases i am joined by legal analyst heiko cardoza. This is just now breaking news. Both of the men will be bound over for trial. It is not a surprise. In a preliminary hearing the burden of proof is not the same as it is in a trial. In a jury trial it is beyond a reasonable doubt. In a preliminary hearing all a judge has to determine is do i have a reasonable suspicion. Is there probable cause these men committed the crime. That doesnt take much. This doesnt surprise me at all. The defense attorney for harris did not bring up witnesses to counter anything the prosecutors brought in. And claimed he whittled away at their case. It looked like a parade of people saying they were very much aware of problems at the building for the fire. It seems like that is the crux of the case. Why didnt the defense put on a defense at a preliminary hearing . It is like a card game. You are the prosecutor and you have your cards and i have my cards. Show me your cards. You have to show me your cards. I dont have to show my evidence. Im not going to give you a preview of my evidence at a preliminary hearing. It is not unusual. He tried to whittle away at the governments case. And asked the judge there is not even a suspicion here. That is tough to get around. This doesnt surprise me. You think they will go after pg e or the owners . The defense is going to be selective prosecution. They will talk about the two defendants. Why are they here . What about the owner of the building . What about the manager . What about the Fire Department . What about the public Inspection Department . Why didnt they get prosecuted in this case . They do have some government immunity. Why not them . It might sell to a jury. Will be a difficult case for the prosecution. You were nodding your head when Matt Gonzalez said the federal government has no idea what the jury instructions were. What he is saying is the judge in the case gave the wrong jury instruction. Think about what happened. The jury came back and said it was an accident. They had to believe he picked the gun up and went off. Does that fall under a felon in possession of a firearm . If it was an accident you have to believe he picked it up and it goes off. That doesnt come within the purview of a felon in possession of a firearm. That is temporary possession. The judge failed to give an instruction that that type of temporary possession does not or should not convict someone. I would not be surprised if this judge says i did make a mistake. I should have given that instruction. I am going to give you a new trial. Just on that specific charge. The others he was found not guilty. You cannot appeal that. The da cannot appeal of that. If he is found not guilty of that charge he is a free man except for immigration. Except for the federal government will go after him. The law allows them to do that. Interesting case. Remember one thing quickly the jury pool in the San Francisco case comes from San Francisco. When the feds it comes from all of the counties. You will get a much more conservative jury that will be more inclined to convict him then a lot of people say in San Francisco would. Young Northern California Football Players from the bay area competing for a national title. We will talk with a team mother about the opportunity for these athletes.

It is because of that large fire that happened monday night. Two homes were completely destroyed in the fire. The cause it caused serious danger to a retaining wall under that roadway. It was a very expensive retaining wall from the mudslide previously. It is completely collapse. They will have to rebuild it. Which is very does make a big problem. It is a major access to firetrucks. And ambulances it in the area. The fact it is not able to be accessed anymore will affect many people. The road closure is not blocking access to the homes.

In this age of concussions and concerns about injuries in the nfl. We have seen some nasty injuries this past weekend. How worried are you about these kids having helmet to helmet contact . It is always a worry. It is not necessarily about their heads but their whole body. The panthers have done everything they can to combat that. We use a riddell product in our helmets that give us alerts on heavy contact the to their heads. Just like you would use a knee brace if you were injured you have were doing that with the helmets.

Really important. We will learn what the future of the internet might look like going forward. Our expert Ryan Eldridge would join us to talk about that when we come back. Even if no one in your home smokes, Secondhand Smoke can be closer than you think. Secondhand smoke from a neighbors apartment can enter your home through air vents, through light fixtures and even through cracks in the walls and the floors. Secondhand smoke is toxic. Especially to children. Protect your family. Visit tobaccofreeca. Com. Continuing coverage of the decision to roll back Net Neutrality rules. We are joined by Ryan Eldridge from nerds on call. We were talking about during the hearing there was a bomb threat that was mailed in. They had to bring in dogs to sweep the area. That is how he did the subject is. It is so contentious. It is not just a matter of who is going to get to watch youtube. This is about our livelihood. My company is based on mine. Without access to the internet and free access we will have trouble. This could affect millions of peoples jobs in the Silicon Valley. The telecoms have been given a free christmas gift. We look at who will benefit from the repeal versus who is in. It is clear it will be the telecoms. They will make millions. This is setting the stage for the internet and everyone who uses it to become cable subscribers. It gives them a lot more power to do things to block access to certain things they are not happy with. In morocco earlier this year the telecoms band together. They were going to start blocking sites like skype and Different Services on the web. It competed with them. Here we have the Justice Department and the ftc to protect us from that. It does give the isps access to do that. The fcc says they will hold the isps to terms in their terms of service they have to tell you that they will block or slow down access to certain sites. Who reads those . Consumers sleep on that. If you do want access you might be able to get it but you have to pay. In portugal there is no Net Neutrality rules. Their Internet Access packages are identical to cable packages. Get a basic patch basic package plus a social media package and a streaming media package. Everything calls more. The isps will try to kit keep a calm. Then they will start extorting the bigger Companies Like facebook and google for a fast lane service. For the consumers it will be sold to us as a good thing. We will be able to get hbo and cbs and fox at a faster rate if we pay a few dollars more. It is not going to be good. Where does this leave us with trying to push back on this . Congress is not happy about it. Silicon valley is not happy. Santa clara county is filing a lawsuit. This will be tied in the courts for a little while. The real problem is we have five people on the fcc in control of how the internet is used across the nation. That is not fair. What you really want to do is take this to congress. There is a problem. All of the telecoms have been paying with their super pacs over 532 million to get Net Neutrality repeal. They have written legislation before. Maybe the fact that the 2018 midterm elections everybody is nervous especially with what happened in alabama. Maybe they will start listening to the people. I recommend everyone jump on facebook and have a townhall button. It will show you every elected representative that is in your life. Message every last one of them. It seems like most of the Big Tech Companies banded together and were already lobbying for these rules to stay in place. We see what happened. Lawmakers unless they come in and do something about it this will stay in place. Could there be checkmates . Comcast has nbcuniversal. Verizon has cbs. You will have i want netflix but i also want to watch nbc. Those are two different companies. Nobody is going to want to pay premium for those. And cable sometimes you will see you wont be able to see espn for a few days. We are renegotiating the contract. That will happen online. In the more distant future what will likely happen is the bigger Tech Companies that make their living online will band together and create an alternative service. We have seen it happen and cable. We all hate cable. We are found in alternative. We go to streaming services. Those companies will band together and give you a new alternative. And we can get access that way. Fresh off Opening Night last night is soulless for the sentences go la joins me in studio San Francisco ballet. How this time as tradition continues to enchant audiences. We will talk with an expert about how sleeping better might be the answer to improving your memory. Ever wonder why we get forgetful as we age . A new study shows it might have something to do with sleep. Joining is the lead author of the study. Lets talk about talk with me about how the study was conducted. We had two main questions. The first one was how does the brain to form new memories while we sleep . The second one was how come the older adults forget more than younger adults . This is really important. Given that more and more people are old over 65. More people are being diagnosed with alzheimers or any memory disorder. What we did in the lab. We brought in young adults in the early 20s and older adults over 65. We have them do a difficult memory test. They had to form new memories based on pairs words they have never heard or seen. What we did we got them sleep in the lab. The next morning we tested their memories. What we saw was older adults indeed did not learn that information as well as younger adults. This is just me is a journalist talking. Basically these electrical waves that rippled through our brains while sleeping. If they dont align or interact properly that can contribute to what we are able to memorize. It affects our memory. Is there a way to get those waves to interact more properly . It is like an orchestra. What happens in an orchestra is different instruments. Only if everybody one place together and is on the same beat mac then you get a whole symphony. What happens in older adults is all the instruments are not in sync. Older adults lose their conductor. We think the conductor in the prefrontal cortex behind our eyes. They orchestrate and tells the instruments how they should come together in order to form memories. What we found was only if everyone is in sync and playing together you form new memories. When you are out of sync you forget. What can we do to address it . The good news is all the key players of your orchestra are still there. Everyone is still in place. They dont come together. What we need is a metronome that helps a little bit if the conductor doesnt do what it is supposed to do. We think we can help the brain from the outside. Magnetic or electrical stimulation or even to sink them up and bring them back in time. 50 milliseconds give or take. It makes a huge impact on how we form new memories and how we age. It is interesting. It really is important moving forward and trying to treat memory loss. Hank you for coming in and sharing those results. Thank you.

Thats one count for each victim in the fire a year ago. Good evening, im heather holmes. Im ken wayne. Frank and julie are off tonight. Lets get straight to ktvus henry lee. He was in the courtroom when the ruling came down. Reporter judge horner says theres very strong evidence to hold Derick Almena and max harris over for trial. He said the two men are criminally liable for what he called an unspeakable tragedy. Today in court family wept as the prosecutor read the names of 36 victims one by one during the preliminary hearing for the deadly ghost ship fire in oakland. Prosecutors said Derick Almena was essentially the landlord of the ghost ship warehouse and that max harris acted as his property manager. The judge agreed with that and said the two must stand trial on 36 counts of Involuntary Manslaughter for each victim. Defense attorneys said they fully expected the judges ruling but argue if the city of oakland and the warehouse owner chor ng bear responsibility for the tragedy. An attorney for the victims families agrees but says almena and harris are also to blame. They believe that there was sufficient evidence of the guilt and responsibilitier these defendants for creating the ghost ship and making it, as the judge stated in his final words, called it a death trap. This was not a death trap. It was orderly. It was clean. It was wholesome. And in many, many respects, my client did everything humanly possible within his financial means to make it that
