Segue construction wanted to get in on the district the building that had a balcony collapse lost its first go round. An oakland judge said no. Nbc bay area is live in berkley. How could this impact an illegal action moving forward . It will. You can be sure of that. Seven others injured when a balcony up on the fourth floor collapsed two weeks ago while they were celebrating a birthday party. Clear to say that segue will probably be sued over this and the city now declining to investigate so the District Attorney is taking over the investigation and the builder went to court to try to get its experts in on that da investigation. Please remain seated and come to order. Survey construction came to force them to come ply with the companys request to be in on the investigation. The only thing they are asking for is preservation of the evidence of all of the affected parties. That action cut off any mechanism for the defendant and plaintiff. There is no legal precedent for allowing a builder to inspect evidence during the District Attorneys investigation. Obviously we have the duty for the evidence. We do that all the time. That is what Law Enforcement officers do. We have every intention of preserving it. In the end, the judge denied the request saying the da is under an on lay gas station to conduct a fair and impartial investigation. I would suggest the duty. So the das investigation will proceed without experts being involved. The city of berkley declined our request to talk about the decision to remove the balcony which did take some of the evidence out of the mix. Coming up at 6 00 we will hear from an independent building inspector about what he thinks should have been done and we will also talk about why the pd decided not to investigate and leaving it up to the District Attorney.
