Transcripts For KTVU KTVU Fox 2 News At 4pm 20240714

Court session that was open to the public, we learned that the defense and the das Attorneys Office cannot talk about anything related to the case because the judge has just learned that at least 5 of the jurors now and paneled have scheduling conflicts so they must work to work every once schedule and take that into consideration while they start deliberations over. The judge even ominously said if one remaining alternate is left, it very well could be asked to do join the discussion so if that happens, they have to start that over again. Right now the fate of Derick Almena and max harris, the two defendants charged with Involuntary Manslaughter hangs in the balance after 10 days of deliberations. I know jury must start over because of apparent possible juror misconduct, possible contact with the news media. You can tell i can tell you that ktvu has not approached any of these jurors. We dont film them, talk to them or even say hello to them. Whatever transpired happened was someone else and at least 1 of the jurors so again, 3 women booted from the jury, 3 alternates taking their place and the panel will start all over. After 10 days, many families gathered in court hoping for decision. Instead they will have to wait a little longer. Henry, thank you. Joining us now is legal analyst, michael cardoza. First of all, your reaction to the development and how hard would it be for the original jurors to start from fresh after they have been delivering and discussing thing for 10 days . It will be very difficult for them to go back to the get go and start the conversation with everybody but that is what the judge will tell them to do. I fail to believe they will go over everything but they will be instructed to but they will go over the major points of the trial. What would have had to have happened for these jurors to be dismissed . First of all, i would be curious about who reported them. Who said what. Some information had to get to the judge. Usually, the way it happens, a juror or jurors say to the bailiff, hey, something is going on and they give the bailiff a note. The bailiff takes it to the judge and the judge then brings all the lawyers in and says, we have a struggle problem with the jury. If you remember back to Scot Peterson in his trial, there was a juror that was a medical doctor and a lawyer and the jurors complained to judge deluca at the time who was the presiding judge and he got rid of that juror so it happens and it happens more often than one would think where jurors are excusing trial. Obviously the judge, judge thompson knows what she is doing. She has had a long career and in the criminal Justice Department system, it is more about being fair than fast. How difficult is it that we have had 3 jurors removed from the trial . It depends what happened. It is a big deal because you tell jurors, dont talk to the press. If you see anything on television, turn it off right away. If you see a headline, dont look at it. Dont read the article. Dont talk to people about this. And judges and attorneys try trust jurors to do that. Self ive always been very skeptical because i have had jurors who went very quickly in a 75 count and in an hour, a changed over weekend. What happened over the weekend. What did they see . Who did they talk to . Why do they flip that quickly . It will be interesting to see what was the reason that the judge dismissed them. Did they talk to a reporter . Did they watch the news . And why was it 3 of them. If it was 3 of them, i would bet they talked amongst themselves and other jurors heard them and said wait a minute, you are not supposed to do that and then they report that and off those jurors go. If you are Derick Almena and max harriss attorneys at this point, what is your next move . What are you thinking ahead now . Im praying a lot harder at about that time because you dont know. Remember, the jury was composed of 9 women and 3 men. I was always curious about why the defense left on so many women because it is a very emotional case. You have 36 dead bodies. You have the emotion of that. And usually, women tend to be more emotional than us men. We put off walls and are tough guys so i thought, okay, what did this change the jury to now . How many alternates are women of those 3 . I dont know right now. As we know, this has been an emotional case. If you are the victims families you have been sitting three days of testimony. What do you say to them . What does this mean to them . What likely are they going to right now . They are going through the same thing that the prosecutors and defense is going through and that is a lot of angst and wondering, what happened . Why did this happen . What is the count of the jury now . I can guarantee you this, they want a verdict in this case. Judge thompson really wants a verdict because you dont want to be retrying this again. So in replacing jurors, you are hoping, all right, maybe we will now have a more cohesive jury, one that can come to a conclusion. As i have said, my guess in the trial, and ive never been right, is that one of them is going to be found guilty and one may hang or be found not guilty and i think Derick Almena is the one that the jury will look to to find guilty. They may even have a verdict right now. We dont know. Then you bring the other 3 and there is the dynamic of that and then we will work on the other defendant so you never know where they are and the judges are not giving up too much information and she has gagged the lawyers so they cannot talk. We know nothing. Other than that they are going to go back and start from the getgo which will be very, very difficult. And then, off we go to see what happens so you can expect days more of deliberation. If they come back quickly, if they come back quickly, the question is going to be, wait a minute. You were supposed to go over there all the evidence. How could you do it in one day . How did you do it in two days . So they are going to have to stay out to make it look good at a certain level. We will even at that, michael. As always, thank you for being with us. For more information on the ghost ship warehouse trail as well as the events that took place today, head to our website, ktvu. Com. The man accused of killing 18yearold nia wilson at the Macarthur Bart station in oakland will not face the bit death penalty. The Alameda County das office announced that a hearing it will not seek the death penalty.

Ktvus Christien Kafton is live at the holub justice tonight. Christian . Reporter the appearance today was just a surrender of himself in light of the new allegations that have just surfaced. Meanwhile, vincent is behind bars tonight. Austin vincent walked into the holub justice to surrender himself this morning looking very different than his mug shot. The 25yearold had a previouslyscheduled court date to today in connection with an alleged attack last sunday. That attack was captured by surveillance cameras. Now he is facing new charges. San Francisco Police say following his high profile arrest and release from custody last week, another won has come forward after seeing his photo saying vincent attacked her with a knife while she was waiting for a rideshare earlier this year. We were contacted the middle of last week from a victim who should said she was a victim of an attack by mr. Vincent in february. Reporter judge flenniken did not order vincent to go to jail last week from the arrest caught on camera but did schedule a court date for today. Following the investigation, san Francisco Police made arrangements to arrest him on the new charge. We monitored mr. Vincent as we knew he was in a Treatment Program and with a gps monitor so we knew his location. We spoke with the public defender and there was an agreement that mr. Vincent would turn himself in this morning. Reporter vincents attorney has said his client spent most of his last week in a live in Treatment Center getting attention for Mental Health issues. Today, he said he will represent vincent against the latest allegations. He takes the situation seriously but he is also taking his treatment very seriously and has been doing everything he has to do to get better. Reporter because of the arrest, hearing on the attack on video has now been postponed so the court can begin processing the new allegations. The defendant is currently being booked.

At this point they are not offering any details. We are hoping to learn more perhaps tomorrow. Maybe in the court appearance. Live in separate cisco, Christien Kafton, ktvu fox2 news. The Homeless Navigation Center in San Francisco can be controversial. The chief of police in one bay area city speaks with us live about why her city should be open to the idea. Also had, the federal government is looking into whether the city of San Francisco is discriminating against people searching for Affordable Housing. We will speak about those claims coming up at 4 30. A slow clearing day around the bay area. Outside the doors at this time, partly cloudy conditions and cooler temperatures. I will have a look at what you can expect for tomorrow and the rest of the week, coming up. The city of fremont is deciding whether to put the citys first Homeless Navigation Center in place. Hundreds of residents have shared their opinions during open meetings on the topic and more meetings are scheduled. In an open letter to the city, the police chief says the center will be navigated after a Navigation Center in berkeley. We are joined bike police chief, kim peterson. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. We have seen the upper over Navigation Centers, the one in San Francisco along the barcadero. Residents believe it will bring crime to the area. Is that why you sent the open letter to the community . Really part of that was ensuring residents in the community that we are doing our part to do the research on it and we also have many of the same concerns as the residents and that is why we did an in depth look at how the center would be run, what the effects might be and i simply wanted to share the information with the public i think that having that information can really help people make a more informed decision. So you point out that the Navigation Center will be modeled after the one in berkeley. Why that particular Navigation Center . Reporter not all Navigation Centers are equal. There are very much dependent on the groups that run them, of course, cities provide direction or guidelines to each different Navigation Center. Specific to their own concerns. We are much more similar in size to berkeley then we are to say, San Francisco, for example. Our center would be run, modeled after the Berkeley Center, in part because of their high success rate so that is why. So these Navigation Centers like the one in separate cisco also provide resources, the one in berkeley, too to those who need it but organizations like safe embarcadero point out that they still see a draw on more activity like drug use. How do you convince the community in light of what the hearing public say is a good idea for the fremont area . Again, fremont is a very Different Community then San Francisco. One of the ways we would and sure that is we are small enough to be able to help with anything like that. If there was any issues with the center, we would be old to mitigate those concerns. When i went to the Berkeley Center and looked at it first hand, they, in fact, have cleaned up those areas around the center by directing the folks who are running their center to be recruiting from that immediate area and that would be part of our tactic as well. That is what i want to ask you about. The recruitment, the Berkeley Center pointed out in your letter, they put the Navigation Center in an area with a lot of homeless and cabins and started the recruitment after or right around the immediate area. Is that when you plan to do in fremont if the facility opens . Ultimately, the council decides where the center goes. If we move forward with a. Regardless of where goes, half of those first beds, we are going to be recruiting from the immediate area. We want to make sure we are Good Neighbors and so by recruiting from that immediate area, the hope is that we can help convince those neighbors that we are going to make an actual specific effort to clean up those areas around there and to bring homeless from that area to hopefully make the public a little more open to it because it is important that we try this. And im curious. Half the beds are going to go to people from fremont but another half from people in the surrounding areas. Do you know why we are not focusing solely on the homeless appellation of fremont . As you might imagine, homelessness is really a regional problem. It is not just a fremont problem, not just a separate cisco problem. We are all grappling with this issue and fremont is kind of the big brother city, i guess i would say. And tricities are fremont, new arc and union city. Fremont completely encompasses the city of newark which is very small and we are directly adjacent to union city and the population we are talking but is very mobile so we know that by recruiting from this slightly larger area, we are also helping fremont deal with our issues. And the bottom line is something needs to be done about the homeless situation all over the bay area to perhaps, this is a step in the right direction. Fremont police chief, kim peterson, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. More on the upcoming Public Meetings in fremont, you can head to our website on ktvu. Com.

Governor gavin newsom signed a new law today changing the standard for police use of force. In a ceremony at the secretary of states office, he was surrounded by a crowd that included the family of stephon clark. His shooting death by Sacramento Police helped to prompt the legislation. With gratitude, with appreciation, and with a deep sense of responsibility. And a hope that we can reduce the number of lives lost and we can begin to build trust and heal. The bill states that deadly force may only be used when necessary. A second bill could require officer training to deescalate confrontations and is pending in the state legislature. We are joined by margaret russell, professor of law at Santa Clara University of law. Thank you for joining us. It is described as one of the toughest standards for when an officer can use legal force. What are the new standards not . So the new standards are defined by the pivotal change to the word necessary. Officers can use deadly force according to this bill only when necessary to protect human life. Over the last 100 years it has been reasonable use of force. So that means Police Officers could kill if somebody were resisting arrest or fleeing, even. And walter scott from South Carolina was shot in the back so this new standard would say that cannot happen. It has to be necessary, the details are not hammered out in the legislation, obviously, this would have to be a lot of dialogue by communities and Police Officers about that but i think it is a significant step. And how do you see this, as a professor of law, how do you see this to help curb the use of lethal lethal force at all . Make it is interesting that really, the existence of so many Police Shootings, particularly of black and brown people, have been seen as a crime issue but if you actually look back at the old law the California Law for dp 72, it authorized a lot pick it authorized Police Officers to define whatever is reasonable to shoot someone and reasonableness really just is much more in the eye of the beholder so now that the families of the victims are coming forward, you are really seeing a significant change in looking at things through the lens of the victim and that is equally important to the lens of Law Enforcement. So speaking of Law Enforcement here. What do you think they think of this change to the law . Well, in following the bill, im very aware that it has been pretty contentious with no Police Officer support today or very vocally so but and striking somewhat of a compromise, i think that there is going to be a chance for this. It is a small step but what will happen after now is there will be discussions about well, what does Necessary Force main and as opposed to reasonable. How do you determine, for example that when someone is fleeing, arrest or fleeing from a Police Officer, you can no longer shoot that person in the back. That is what we saw with Stephan Clark pick he was running away and several of the Police Shootings, the suspect in the case was running away from police one shot and that is one a lot of families have brought up an issue here. Heres the question. With this bill, does this mean more for Police Officers will be prosecuted for taking lethal force . Well, i think it certainly will open the door to that because prosecutors under this new law can take into account not just the moments of the shooting or use of deadly force. Under this law, they can look at the circumstances, the behavior of Police Officers through a period of time longer than the morning moment are shooting as well as the victim and so by being able to look at that combination of factors, prosecutors can make a decision to go forward. We have heard a lot from families who have lost loved ones in Police Shootings saying why arent the Police Officers being prosecuted. How does the law address the issue of race in policing . We know that when we talk about Police Shootings, we have to talk about race when it comes to policing as well. Absolutely. Well, i think, you know, race, racial justice, even if it is not explicitly mentioned this throughout the bill. The statistics have shown time and time again there is a racially disproportionate impact of these shootings and this really opens the door to dialogue, to discussion of de escalation, negotiation, so that Police Officers can be trained in a manner consistent with racial justice. We will see how this pans out from here and if other states follow suit. We will just have to see. A lot of people have been pushing for Something Like this for a long time. Thank you so much for your insight. Coming up, we will speak with an expert to learn whether San Franciscos housing policies violate federal nondiscrimination laws.

The San Francisco chronicle is reporting the probe will look into whether policies violate laws that protect people from discrimination pick with more we are joined by corey smith, Deputy Director with the bay area Housing Action coalition. Thank you for joining us. Thanks for having me. What exactly is the issue . Why is hud looking into the practice in San Francisco . Well, first and foremost, there are still a lot of questions surrounding what hud is looking into. A letter was submitted to the city of San Francisco that is not public yet. There are a number of Different Things that we could be doing to increase Affordable Housing built in San Francisco but what the federal government is looking into but i still a concern. According to the chronicle report, hud is looking into what the city is doing and whether it is contributing to the housing crisis and we are able to inferred in for how that would be the case. When you look at the federal government as a whole, first of all, President Trump is not a great advocate when it comes to producing Affordable Housing. The tax code has decimated the industries available to build Affordable Housing. There are 3 areas when we think about Affordable Housing that the city did not do well. Zoning, 91, cant build Affordable Housing in roughly 20 3 of the city of suffers go. It is not possible. They are all singlefamily homes. Up to four stories but only 1 are 2 units which doesnt work for Affordable Housing. You need multifamily dwellings. Wing we need more money. We have a bond for proposition a which we encourage everyone to support and now it takes way too long and way too expensive to build. The mayor tried to put forward a Charter Amendment to streamline the process but unfortunately, the board of supervisors killed it. So you are saying the city right now is not putting forth the best foot in terms of getting Affordable Housing built across the city . I think advocates on the ground understand that the goal is to produce as much Affordable Housing as possible. There are a number of things we could be doing better. What right now when developers build multifamily dwellings, a certain portion has to be dedicated to Affordable Housing. How is that plan working right now. In any new development over a certain number of buildings it requires around 20 to be below market rate so in a sense, affordable and we want to produce as much housing at all income levelss which is the goal in our organization so we firmly believe that if we did more to incentivize housing, to streamline the process, we could get more total housing. Matter how short would you say we are in terms of Affordable Housing . In the city alone, tens if not hundreds of thousands of homes are needed. Is there anything that could be done right away to minimize the gap . That sounds like an arduous task that will take dozens of years. The reality is this is a 20 year fixed for this pick the shortterm, again, voting on the housing bond and the board also what the mayor put forward as a resolution that will rezone partial across the city for 100 affordable. And when the voters hear about the bond issue they could bond on and what that could actually mean . It is a 6 million housing one, proposition a on the ballot. That will be utilized by the city to leverage federal tax credits to get a lot of subsidized Affordable Housing built. The personal preferences i will some of that money goes to the ashbury area and the golden gate area. Much talk about what should happen with that site especially over the last couple of years. Talk about the plan the mayor is pushing to rezone certain parcels across the city . As we mentioned earlier, because of the zoning laws, it is illegal to build multifamily housing. If this were to pass, a number of sites in the city would have unlocked opportunities to build 100 Affordable Housing. Right now, if those housing the list is not getting built, that means the prices going up for those who want to stay in San Francisco. What did they do, reach out to local supervisors to get support . If you are looking for 100 Affordable Housing, go to the website, Mayors Office of housing and redevelopment and that has all the information. It has all the information on their. Yes. We will have to see what the hud investigation, eventually turns out here but it is going to be a very Interesting Development especially where we still need more housing and still so much to be done in the city of surface go. And we would love to chat more with the. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for having me. Hundreds of miles of san jose streets are getting a faceless facelift this fiscal year. The biggest repaving project in the city city history. Jesse gary has the details. Reporter rarely has san jose residents been so happy to see disrepair. Monday, a bill as one of 11 contractors begins the arduous task of repaving every city street over the next 9 years. Im so happy to see the road repaving and it will bring up the value for the neighborhoods. We have got a lot of construction underway. San jose mayor sam liccardo and a host of city leaders gathered for a midday news conference. Officials say voters support for two ballot members and senate bill 1 allows full funding of the repaving program. A far cry from 5 years ago, according to the transportation director. Back in 2013, the city was scraping together every nickel and dime that we could get to pave 29 miles of road. The program will pave 280 miles of major and residential streets this fiscal year and 1400 miles of streets by its completion in 2028. For poor families it could mean the difference between paying for a car repair or putting food on the table. This is probably a little bit of smoothing the frosting over the crumbling cake but on the other hand, if you dont do that, you lose the trust of the people in the government. While most san jose residents say they are great full to know the city streets will be repaved, most want more. If they could add speed bumps to slow down the traffic. To go out study, analyze how bad speeding is, how many accidents are happening, near accidents, and come in and see if there is any other sort of traffic calming measures we can put into place. Reporter repaving will continue until the return of the rainy season in the fall. As the city works to shed the perception that some have of the worst streets in nation. In san jose, jesse gary, ktvu fox2 news. Starting today, riders were only able to purchase clipper cards at San Franciscos Embarcadero Bart station. Paper tickets will still work at the fair gates but you can no longer purchase them at the station. It is part of a transition that bart is making to a paperless system by next year. Clipperonly purchases have been made available in a handful of stations. I think it is great. It save the environment. That is really the right thing.
