We didnt interview with the sheriff and this is what she had to say about the situation. We dont know who picked him up or where hes going. He should be in prison right now. Hes not in our custody. It really brings to the attention of everybody that we need to change the law. Not only did she say to jerry brown, moving forward, there is nothing she can do about this case but moving forward anyone convicted of sexually assaulting anyone who is intoxicated must serve a minimum time and president and he will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Just in case you were wondering if he wants to change his name tomorrow or the next day, that cannot happen as long as he is under probation which is a threeyear period.

Lets remember, a lot of this is the publics reaction to this. Im not sure they will be happy when they find out that not much more is being done since the last strike. It was so ugly last time. Phil, what about the idea of bart training replacement drivers . Reporter again, its politics. As we reported, i think it was last week, bart cant begin even training replacement workers until the current ones go on strike. Even then, im not sure them to because if they look like theyre training replacement drivers, it looks like theyre trying to break the strike and in laborfriendly bay area, thats not exactly the message they want to be sending. Unfortunately, the people are really going to get the message are those people over there and everybody else trying to get where they need to go if there is a strike. Sure. All right, sounds like not a lot of options. Thank you, phil. The Public Defenders Office wants the District Attorney to keep quiet about the San Francisco jewelrymart murders. But
