Attorneys for 23yearold Morrison Lampley asked a judge to bar the public from part of his preliminary hearing. He said hes worried that statements made by allgood, also accused in the case might prejudice potential jurors. Prosecutors claim the suspects shot and killed a therapist and canadian tourist last october. Cameras were not allowed inside todays hearing, but an attorney argued that the upcoming hearing needs to be open to the press and the public. Excluding the public from portions of the proceedings where the judge is deciding what evidence is add messable or not is very important process. It can be key to the developments in the case. And the public has the constitutional right of access to see that process. The judge agreed, and the preliminary hearing will ultimately be open to everyone. Its set to begin a week from tuesday.

The principal would not comment on the matter, but according to school rules, the tank top may break dress code. It states, no bra tops or transparent outer wear. So for him to be blamed for enforcing school rules, that the school told him to enforce is not his fault. They should have been dealt with and had punishments in a less humiliating way. Reporter and the district tells me they should be wrapping up their investigation into those complaints sometime tomorrow. Once that is completed, they will decide whether or not the vice principal here can come back to work. Reporting live in Pleasant Hill, im elise chiropractor muchner.

Hillary clinton will still appear at a San Francisco fundraiser tonight after being diagnosed with pneumonia. She wont be here in person. Peggy bunker is live in San Francisco with more. She will also release more medical information following this diagnosis. Yes, of course, this diagnosis has created a lot of renewed interest in mrs. Clintons. Reporters today sent between 250 to 50,000, saying they are here to support a candidate who cant be. They say thats okay with them. Earlier today, we talked to a lot of the supporters who are waiting in line to get in. Today mrs. Clintons Campaign Advisers said her doctors have diagnosed her with pneumonia, wellknown fact now. And recommended she lighten up on her very tough campaign schedule. However, a clinton spokesperson says here this erent is so important, she will be making an appearance via teleconference. Supporters are a little disappointed but came from near and far to be here. Was very excited and hopeful she would be here, but she does have to rest so we are obviously understanding of that and glad to still be here and let her know she has support.

She said it was so important for her to be here. She too is disappointed to not be doing it with mrs. Clinton but has really interesting things to say about how important it is for people to get out the vote. She is actually canadian, so she is really encouraging americans to get out and vote. Well have that coming up tonight at 6 00. And peggy, as you mentioned at the top of your hit, a lot of political pundits are for you saying this entire episode has put a renewed focus not just on the health of Hillary Clinton, but also donald trump. Reporter both of them. In fact, earlier today the Trump Campaign said they are going to be releasing medical records for donald trump, and also the Clinton Campaign saying they wanted to keep this with Clinton Family members, thought it would be something that would be used by the other campaign against her so they wanted to keep a lid on it. Theyre now saying theyre going to let everybody see this new medical record. People we talked to here today said they want to see both of them. If youre going to run for office, thats a key thing youve got to do. Okay, peggy, thank you so much. Donald trump also firing back on clinton after she made comments last week that half of his supporters belong in a, quote, basket of deplorables. Trump called them the most explicit attack by any major nominee. Trump claimed that clinton demeaned a crosssection of average, hardworking americans. It all adds up, according to trump, to a level of disdain that disqualifies clint.

Now another Silicon ValleyCompany Wants to jump in and get in with realtime voting results. Our business and tech reporter, scott budman, is with us. This is a bit controversial for a lot of people. Yeah, its controversial, raj, because it goes against what we usually see on election night. That is Networks Holding back on the results until the polls close here on the west coast. But a startup called vote caster wants to shake things up, giving updated vote information in realtime. The thought being, if the numbers can be tallied, why not give them to us. Some say it may keep callans away from the polls if they already know who is headed to the white house. Weve got City Council Positions and Assembly Positions and 17 ballot initiativeses in california this year. And so if turnout is depressed, that can really affect the outcomes of the other races, as well. Vote caster says it will work with journalists from slate to send out the results. It says it believes it is legal to do so. Now we dont have any idea of how big vote caster will get or if it will add any jobs. We do know the company says it will start a crowd Funding Campaign sometime next month. Back to you. Okay, scott, thank you. Today marks one year since the valley fire, which devastated so much of lake county. 76,000 acres were torched, four people were killed. 1,300 homes from destroyed. Investigators ultimately traced the cause to faulty wiring on a hot tub. With damage, estimates topping 1 billion. The valley fire is now considered the thirdmost destructive fire in recorded california history. A year later, theres complaints that updated building codes are slowing the rebuilding efforts and hundreds of residents are still living in trailers or other sorts of temporary housing. So its still an issue. Its you know, affected so many lives. And its so heard breaking to see the homes destroyed in the fire. And were not done with fire season yet. Even though it is cooler today. Yeah, thats a great point. We still have dry weather expected the next two weeks, and that will keep the fire danger up. Today youre probably noticing outside that much colder falllike air moving in.

Also some patchy drizzle for San Francisco, low clouds in the east bay and possibly some of that drizzle and mist for the peninsula and 52 degrees. As we get a look at the larger pattern, the cold air is settling in and the main thing that drags this cold air across california is this huge trough of low pressure. Originally last weekend looked like a decent chance of rainfall. Never expected to be a huge possibility. But what will still keep with this area of low pressure as it moves across for tomorrow, the chance here once again of some of the spotty drizzle. Maybe a little isolated shower near the coastline and once again, the widespread cloud cover.
