No major hot spots. Bay less then 30 min from the mateo bridge less then 30 min from 880 to 101. james a fiveyear saga for a bay area family is finally coming to an end. A verdict will be announced in the murder trial of sierra lamars accused killer today. The teen went missing near morgan hill back in 2012. Her body has never been found. Antolin Garcia Torres is charged with her murder. His lawyers claim sierra lamar is not dead, just missing. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. Kron fours Ella Sogomonian spoke with a legal expert who is closely monitoring this case. Obviously the threshold question for this jury that needed to be decided was, is it possible that sierra lamar still be alive . one of many challenges a jury has had to face before making their decision in the kidnapping and murder trial of morgan hill teen sierra lamar. The fifteen year old went missing five years ago as she was walking to a bus stop to get to school. But because her body was never recovered, there wasnt a crime scene and a weapon wasnt found the jury could possibly find defendant antolin Garcia Torres innocent of murder. Steven clark, legal analyst and former prosecutor and that could explain why this jury came back quickly if they dont believe the prosecution was able to prove that sierra lamar is dead then they really wouldnt reach a verdict on a homicide. The defense however has pointed to dna evidence found on Garcia Torres s property like a rope in his car. What they were able to show with the forensic evidence and the defendants own statement is that he had the opportunity to commit this crime and there was never a definite explanation for that dna transfer. And although 11 hours of deliberation may sound like a long time to the average person the analyst says that is pretty quick for a decision in a trial that started back in january. There was competing evidence on virtually every aspect in the case. From the forensic evidence to the defendants statements to the issues of sierra lamar being a runaway. Im surprised the jury was able to condense that and come to a verdict so quickly. james and stick with the kron 4 morning news all morning as we wait for the verdict.

Kron fours Stanley Roberts explains in this mornings people behaving badly. Nats train approaches believe it or not, there are politics for just about everything, including illegal dumpingnats ambiance for example in the city of berkeley along the Union Pacific railroad right of way. People have been dumping trash and debris like this large pile at the cedar street crossing the pile contains everything from, buckets filled with unknown stuff, a broken flat screen and even a biohazard syringe container although it appears to be empty there is even an unused laptop memory card in the debris nats ambiance as an amtrack train rolls by heading to an unknown destination the view from the window has to leave an impression. If you look along the entire rail right of way, you will see abandoned sections of tracks, how about a microwave some Assembly Required so here is the problem, the trash is clearly visible to anyone on berkeley and it seems like a slam dunk as to who should handle the cleanup but its never a slam dunk. It has to do with politics. Yes politics play a key roll in everything you see cleaning up debris and illegal tagging cost money lots of money nats ambiance a city could simply clean it up then send the bill to its main Office Located in omaha, nebraska or to the office in washington dc but there is no guarantee they money will be reimbursed basically, if you want the area cleaned up you will need to flood Union Pacific railroad offices, keep in mind they have over 32 thousand miles of tracks from here to chicago nats ambiance so they cant see this, stripped scooter with the plate still attached. They probably wont see all there cars parked directly under the fine lane sign also on their property so unless you can find a reporter to show how bad the problem is chances are Union Pacific railroad dosent even know there is trash here but let a car get hit by a train and theyre know that right away in berkeley Stanley Roberts kron 4 news and heres a live look outside.
