force a confrontation or make it a dangerous situation. they said they are gonna wait. when he comes down, they will talk to him. he could face some charges like trespassing, failure to obey, lawful orders, interfering with officers' duties. they think somehow he just scaled up there and will stand up there for as long as he apparently wants to. but obviously, he doesn't have food or a different

inland to near 90 degrees for some. also some higher clouds visiting and so the combination here, it means a cooler pattern today. a lot of 70s and 60s instead of 80s. the forecast does keep some of that fog in place. it's working its way up the coast. it's heading toward the northern part of the marin khost -- marin coast. south of that it looks solid. a good 20-degree drop for some. you go from no fog and 80s to fog and upper 60s. there is a weak cold front coming in. you can see that between eureka and redding. the majority of those down in southern california but the combination of these

for a week -- and for a week he was on the stand. they had several days where court went dark for a number of reasons. so that week was only for about three days. but what he did for the -- so far, is they said that dr. murray a-- shaffer, the doctor, appearing crass, other times appearing frustrated. the defense at one time got him to admit about experiments on his own before the prosecution ever asked him to be part of the case. that will be today, and the interesting part will be when the defense starts to call their witnesses and they could be done with their case as the early -- as early as the middle of the week. one of the witnesses will be dr. paul white who has been a friend and colleague of dr. shaffer for more than 30 years. both are considered to be experts on anesthesiology and propofol. it's curious to see if the defense made enough inroads to allow a -- to allow dr. white to step in. it was -- they do expect to call witnesses today. but nothing has been normal or average in this case. if everything goes as planned, that's the big calf viet. this case could go to the jury at the beginning of the week. reporting live at the courthouse, we're about an hour or so

cooler pattern and probably where the warmer weather returns on wednesday and thursday, but you know, mostly sunny, right by the water's edge, then you will need to deal with a lot of low clouds and fog. 60s, 70s, inland, but a good 10- degree drop for some. and now tuesday, the fog and sun is cooler, sunny and warmer with breezy conditions, and now friday though, they will start to turn more

hit and run. unlike anything, police officers have ever seen. according to court documents, the 31-year-old from oakland, again, facing felony hit and run and murder charges. indicating that investigators think he intentionally ran over and killed a member of hell's angel. he had some kind of altercation before the van struck and killed the biker. here's the crazy part, he kept on

following the developing story out of san jose this morning. just hours ago, the occupy san jose protester climbed to the very top of the structure right in front of city hall in san jose and he is still up there. they have been talking to police, watching the situation, back now, and so it is happening. >> reporter: it appears that we're in a great situation right now. they told me that they will be waiting the protester out. we'll show you the live situation from san jose as you can see there, they are still standing at the top of the cement structure. it appears that we know who he is at this point and identified by another protester as this man and they climbed up on the wall sometime during the night. and now, we know that he was there at least by 3:20 this morning and because, you know, that's when police got there. and you could see his sign saying stand up for what you believe them. and now, they are also showing you another sign that lists the number of police officers. there you go. 10 vehicles, 14 police officers, four protesters. that's the number of people there at 3:00 this morning when police arrived. now, police say yes, they had 10 officers on the scene, three supervisors. they say they were there because they had been on the campaign to keep them from camping out there in front of city hall. telling me they arrested about five people this morning for the municipal code violation that does prohibit camping for those people. and four of them were booked into jail. one was cited and released as you can see that there are some people now back there. and they put up that max. this is an ongoing thing, put up the mattress, the tents, they come in, they take them out. when they get there this morning, the supervisor says they asked the man to come down, he refused so they decided to wait him out. they are not hurting anyone, damaging any property right now. what they don't want to happen is force the competition or do anything. so when he comes down, they are going to talk to him and you know, he could be facing charges. among them, possible charges, they are showing you the failure to obey the orders, interfering with the duties. and if it is this man that has been stood up there, they also say that they don't need to be there when he goes down. they can just file a report, send all this information to the d.a.'s office and they could actually later on release a warrant for his arrest that they choose to do so. so now at this point, everyone is just watching that man and waiting to see if and when he will be coming down. reporting
