jurors found that tim tree was not guilty of assaulting an inmate back in the year 2013 because the district attorney could not decide to retry the case, tree won't comment though on what happened during the confrontation with the inmate. his attorney says the former deputy was trying to save his partner's life after an inmate attacked him. tree did tell us about being a correctional officer. take a listen. >> the job is already tough. you're not dealing with regular people. this is bad people outside that are coming in and we had to take care of what we had to do. >> okay, and because of the mistrial, the district attorney's office told abc7 news it's now reviewing its options going forward. >> a san francisco chinatown shop owner used a bamboo kung fu stick to defend himself against a man who punched him. this happened sunday in a shop on grand 7. thomas baker began throwing hats on the ground when the 86-year-old owner charles lue confronted him, he was punched in the face. that's when charles sprang into action. >> because he was mad, really mad. he said after he hit him, he got really mad. that's when he went for the stick. he hit him like that. >> how many times? >> just a couple times. some of them, they're feisty. they'll fight back for their things. and they're sick and tired of being victimized. >> no matter their frustration, police say attacking people, not a good idea. officers caught baker a few blocks away. an electrical problem is blamed for leaving nine people stuck on a ride at gilroy gardens. sky 7 was overhead as firefighters worked to free the riders on the sky trail monorail inside the greenhouse yesterday afternoon. they were stuck there for at least an hour. the fire department says there was a dead rail preventing the cars from moving. firefighters used ropes and ladders to pull the cars to an area where those passengers could get off safely, and the good news here, no one was hurt. >> take a look at 5:46 at your wednesday weather with mike nicco. hi, mike. >> good morning. hi, everybody. when you think of gilroy, you think of garlic, but you also think of heat, searing heat. thankfully they didn't have that yesterday. but it's coming today and through the weekend. cloud cover is more extensive as we talked about it would be this morning with high pressure starting to build in, compressing the marine layer and spreading it out. that's why we have cloud cover. by the afternoon hours, it's going to be sunny. the heat is going to hold inland, but there will still be plenty of comfort at the coast. it will be partly cloudy and comfy at night. also, look at the highs down in gilroy. only 91 today. same in morgan hill, 71 in santa cruz, and 78 in milpitas. up the peninsula, mid to upper sfinlts, and then redwood city sticks out at 83, and along the coast, lowe to mid 60s for you, to 70. look at that, downtown, south san francisco and sausalito. a little breezy around the bay. 82 in san rafael and vallejo. 92 to 94 around cloverdale and lakeport. 70 today in richmond, because of the breezes, breezes not as much of aificator in hercules. 78 in oakland, and our last stop, 89 in san ramon. here's what i mean by the comfortable nighttime temperatures. mid 50s to mid 60s. the cloud cover not as extensive tonight. the sunshine gets off to an early start tomorrow, warming up to 100 inland, 84 around the bay, and 68 around the coast. we'll stay pretty hot inland, at least in the 90s through tuesday. 70s and 80s around the bay, and 60s at the coast. so the weather, going to be very hot out there, but i noticed not a lot of people on the roads so >> not yet, anyway. a couple big events later on today. a day game for the giants, and of course, a major soccer match at levi's stadium, too. more details on traffic impact there in a few. right now, though, i want to take you into southbound 880. one new crash just in near alvarado niles road. four vehicles involved and the left lane blocked. that's a stock that really does not take too much to back things up. you're already slow from state route 92. hopefully a few more details in a few minutes. southbound 101 through san rafael, looking great. the marin county commute nice and light. mass transit, so far so good. no b.a.r.t. delays. with the giants day game, vallejo p.m. service will be impacted. they will provide additional bus service if they reach capacity for those afternoon communities back to vallejo, and same thing for golden gate ferry if you're riding from larkspur, make sure you get there early, especially late morning and this afternoon. san francisco to larkspur return trips as well. next traffic update before 6:00. >> thank you. fewer people actually riding buses and ferries in the golden gate transit district, and the san francisco giants may be partly to blame. ridership on the ferry to at&t park is down because of the team's bad season. ferry ridership fell by a little less than 1% between july of last year and the end of this past june. also, golden gate's buses carried more than 10% fewer riders. the district says the drop is due to the winter's wet weather and more people telecommuting instead of riding to work. >> andrew cuomo has given the okay for state legislators to consider approving the textalyzer. what is that? a device that allowed police to determine whether a driver involved in a crash was texting while driving. the device analyzed driver's cell phones to see if they were used just before the crash. as you might imagine, lots of concerns here posed by people worried about privacy and constitutional questions regarding the use of such a device. police are warning about a virtual kidnapping scam. new at 6:00, what we're learning about it. first, the emergency drill happening today that has police issuing a warning in the east bay. >> plus, collecting more than dust. the information one brand of robotic vacuum is gathering about you inside your home. >> a better day starts here on abc7 mornings. it's 5:50. looking live at the golden gate bridge where a lot of you apparently have the summer off. not having to go to work today. good for you. good for you. for happening tonight, police and firefighters in walnut creek will be conducting a live training drill. no parking signs are already out at walnut creek's broadway plaza. the drill will take place from 10:00 tonight to 2:00 tomorrow morning. so a big heads-up. the streets around the plaza will be closed and there will be loud bangs and smoke as officers simulate explosions. >> american airlines workers are planning a mass protest in texas. hundreds getting ready to protest at dallas/ft. worth airport this morning. workers say they have watched maintenance jobs go overseas and ground works going to other workers. itmerged with us airways. maintenance workers and fleet workers on the ground say they never got a new contract with the new company. they are hoping this will jump start negotiations. >> your roomba may provide retailers with details on what's going on inside your home. high-end versions of roomba collect data while they clean. the identify the locations of walls and furniture. so "the new york times" reports i-robot is considering selling that information to amazon, apple, or google. and that may help them target the marketing of different items in your home, so for example, if you don't have a chairo a sofa or a table where it thinks you should have one, they can have specific ads for you online. >> so the key here is to opt out of that ability for roomba to collect that information on you. a can of potato chips turned out to have quite the bite. this is such an unbelievable story. urror looking at a picture of a king cobra after it arivered in the u.s. inside a potato chip canister. when you see the next picture, this is going to blow your mind. king cobras are venomous. a 34-year-old southern california man faced smuggling charges. federal prosecutors claim

match. soccer match, gold cup final tonight. the u.s. against the jamaicans. 78 at levi's stadium at 6:30. on the pitch to about 71 at 8:30. we'll go from sun to stars. that's not what i wanted to see. if you're going to the coast, all that fog, but it will become brighter this afternoon. mid-60s along the coast. 71 at santa cruz. the most calm weather we're going to find at the beaches will be today and tomorrow. a strong southerly swell is going to develop friday and last through the weekend. we could have some dangerous rip kurnlts then. hey, alexis. >> we do have one particular incident that we're keeping an eye on right now. this is really our first slow spot of the morning. southbound 880 in union city just before you get to niles. the right shoulder, we still have not gotten word of injuries. a quick check of the backup, you're down to 9 miles per hour, and it locks like you're backed up to 92. pretty sure it will merge with those delay north of 92 soon. next traffic update coming up at 6:00 a.m. >> thank you. it may be summer break for most kids in the bay area, but not for these adorable students. this is panda kindergarten. the new video shows dozens of baby pandas enjoying a typical day in school. lots of socializing, rolling around. yeah, just kind of hanging out. this is at the giant panda conservation and research center in southwest china. the little

through the morning. >> sometimes it's an accomplishment to make it through the week. >> i thought it was thursday. >> i'm sorry. >> going to be a good wednesday, though. >> it's tough watching everybody else not work, as you have been saying all morning. the commute has been pretty easy. yeah, we're cloudy this morning on live doppler 7. no reports of drizzle yet. if you get some, let me know. here's a look at mt. tamalpais. you can see the marine layer a little more compressed. high pressure coming in and that's why we're going to be warmer today as we get some of the heat from the four corners region our way. 12-hour day planner, 62 to 71. 60s at the coast, 70s around the bay, 90s inland at 4:00. that's big difference from yesterday. and at 7:00, 50s at the coarse, 70s and 80s around the bay and inland. here's alexis with that morning commute. >> yeah, and you know what? fun event for a lot of folks off today to attend,
