Were the chiefs and ours. The monitor has concurred with those decisions. Reporter oakland city councilman mary reid says the mayor has it all wrong. Reid said he spoke to the chief. No, i dont think shes being fort right when she says the chief resigned. The chief was he wasnt happy, and if i were the chief, i wouldnt be happy, given that all the hard work of trying to bring this Police Department into compliance with the negotiated settlement agreement. I will reach out to him and congratulate him and thank him, but i want to kind of also get the why did he leave so abruptly . You just dont get up and leave the next day. Reporter mayor schaaf did say shes been frustrated over the Sexual Misconduct cases. One allegedly assaulted a woman while showing up drunk at the wrong house. Another officer is accused of pulling a gun on a painter in emeryville. But i am extremely angry about the alleged misconduct in this department. Reporter so chief whents resignation comes as the department is at a crossroads. Still struggling with Court Ordered reforms. Young cops accused of offduty misconduct. It remains to be seen whether opd can find stab bill . Ee. This happened so suddenly. It seems like it caught so many people offguard. Reporter including the chee. All the sources are telling us he was not expected to get that call to say, quit or be fired. I live in oakland, so speaking kind of on a personal level here, it seems to me like the Police Department had been making some progress, at least when it it comes to crime in the city. Crime is down in oakland. But i guess when you balance that against the police misconduct, the mayor and the administrator here who was overseeing the department, decided the misconduct was more important. All that good work that the cops have done in reducing crime overshadowed by the bad things they might be doing off duty. So now as we talk about the new interim top cop, ben fairow, he comes from the oakland Police Department himself. He is recently a deputy bart police chief. Ben fairow began with opd in 1990, spent 21 years with the department. He has worked in swat, vice narcotics, internal affairs, and left as a captain. He joined the bart police as a Deputy Police chief in 2011. We spoke with fairow today. Here is what he had to say. Im extremely grateful for the opportunity to help the city maintain the momentum that its had in its Crime Fighting reduction and reaching out to the community and building those bridges. Mayor schaaf says she has tremendous confidence in fairow, but tear row does have some baggage of his own. In 2014, Sergeant Thomas smith was accidentally shot and killed by a fellow officer as they searched a dublin apartment. Smiths widow filed a lawsuit saying before his death smith had asked fairow for more training, or to have the bart s. W. A. T. Team do building searches. The suit says fairow rejected his request. The suit is still pending with the same judge. Henry, what do you think the chances are that fairow will be tapped as the permanent replacement for whent . Its kind of like an insider and an outsider. Its been five years sinces been with opd, sought remains to be seen. They are doing a National Search and considering outside candidates. Henry, right now you have San Francisco, the Police Department there doing a National Search. Well, actually, i cant remember. The chief the interim . The interim chief is still there. Right, hes the interim chief, thats what i thought. And you have oakland. Exactly. So two big cities here in the bay area angling for candidates. You know, what its going to be really difficult to see, does anyone want to take this job in an environment with the National Conversation about policing and race. Its going to be tough. I know youre following it for us. Thank you henry. With the departure of sean whent met with surprise from the flat lands to city has. Ktvus rob roth tells us many people never sought coming or thought whents leaving was necessary. Reporter at youth uprising, a program devoted to helping young people overcome hardships and develop leadership skills, former police chief sean whent was well regarded. Young people would go to his office. They would go down to the main office and sit with him and talk. Reporter this 23yearold who works here thought whent was doing a good job. I think did he his job well. I think so is from me coming from oakland in 2013, to where we are now, definitely. Reporter and across town outside city hall councilman larry reid shared part of his conversation with whent last night after the bombshell dropped. When i talked to the chief, the chief was very hurt. And he is certainly someone that ive always respected and admired. Reporter reid doesnt buy that whent left willingly. Crime is down at its lowest. And if i was the chief, why would i resign . Reporter it appears chief whebt wasnt he is special popular with some of the rank and file. Whent worked in internal affairs before becoming chief, and many officers said they never felt like they could trust him. I was surprised to hear that chief whent resigned or was fired last night. Reporter dan seagle is a longtime civil rights attorney and was once an advisor. Ebels the accumulation of Police Scandals pied up. I think hes a decent chief. I dont think he was a great chief. He may have been a little too softspoken, perhaps unwilling to exercise his authority and demand obedience from the rank and file. Chief whent had the great misfortune of a lot of bad staffing. I think its impossible as a leader to be as great aus want to be in a job if you dont have the right team around you. Reporter the question now is will the next chief have any better luck. In oakland, rob roth, ktvu fox 2 news. Former 49ers and raiders star lineman Dana Stubblefield returned to the courtroom but did not enter a plea. Stubblefield is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in morgan hill in 2015. She was applying for a nanny job at his house. Prosecutors say the alleged victim is developmentally disabled. Stubblefield says the sex was consensual. He accuses the woman of trying to extort money from him. Today his attorneys filed a motion asking that the District Attorney be recused from the case and that the attorney general step in. New developments now from the stanford Sexual Assault case. Today the push to recall the judge in that case is growing. A petition has been circulating around the internet. Ktvus tom vacar live with the story of one million signatures calling for the judge to be taken off the bench. Tom. Reporter well, the anger is palpable, and the pressure is mounting on the judge who said he was acting within the legal guidelines when he sentenced the former Stanford University sex offender to what may end up being just a 90day jail sentence. They came to the San Francisco state building today to present to the state council on Judicial Performance a petition bearing a million signatures, including those of 11 state lawmakers. They demand the counsel investigate and discipline Santa Clara County judge aaron persky for giving a convicted sex offender a sixmonth jail sentence instead of many years. It says, if you are raped on a College Campus n california, you are on your own, and to potential perpetrators, it says, dont worry, we have your back. Reporter the victim of another rape stood with the activists urging more people to get involved. I am really upset about this lenient sentence because i am basically sentenced to life as a survivor of this. Reporter the activists say they will also collect signatures and file a formal recall petition in santa clara for judge per skis re for judge perskys recall. This case has ignited a spark that hat, because of the powerful voice of a young survivor of a horrific attack, who only wanted justice. Reporter now, while the state has limited powers to act on its own, they are so limited and take so much time that the long process may actually belonger than a recall, which could come about sooner if it ever comes about. Tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. Tom, they are going about getting this petition and getting the signatures. What would come next in their process to go further with this recall effort . Reporter they have to gather the signatures which is not an easy thing to do. Yes, this is a very note worthy case and all that stuff, but you still have to pound the pavement and actually get the signatures. Then those signatures have to be verified, then this has to be put on a ballot. That could take months. On top of that you have to make sure that the petition that youre filing is actually going to be successful because otherwise you are going to spend a lot of money unless you have a heck of a lot of volunteers trying to get something that may be rejected. Now, we are told that the Santa Clara CountyBar Association is not supporting any idea of recalling the judge, that they feel that as long as he acted within the guidelines, he acted within the guidelines andy shouldnt be punished for that. On the other hand a lot of other people feel this is such saipght case of how women get mistreated in certain courts of law that it has to be dealt with. It sure is fueling debate on both sides across the country. Tom thank you. Today we received a 500 page case file about turners conviction. Coming up at 5 30 we take a look at the prosecutors effort to convince the judge about sentence longer than four to six months. A lawyer convicted of a hit andrun in dublin is getting a tougher punishment because of what the judge learned. Spencer smith was practicing lain San Francisco in 2012 when he hit and killed a 57year old. He was convicted of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter but instead of receiving prison time a judge sentenced him to five years of probation. After the judge found out that smith traveled to dubai while on probation, the judge sentenced him to a year in jail. Today in court his attorney asked that instead of jail smith be on an electronic monitoring program. The judge denied that request. Coming up later, a heartbreaking story. A High School Football star who is going to graduate tonight is now paralyzed from neck down avenue jumped into a pool. Tonight we hear from family and friends about what happened and also what he said just before going into surgery. Kings, president s, and thousands of fans coming out to wish muhammad ali a final fare west. Im joel waldman in louisville, kentucky. Well have the details straight ahead.

The female construction worker doing her job was stabbed to death this morning. She was attacked near fifth and folsom south of market area in San Francisco. Police have two people in custody. Ann rubin tells us police are crediting the victims coworkers with helping to chase down the attackers. Reporter the victim flagged traffic at this construction site. It was here she was fatal alley stabbed. I just saw a commotion. I was in my shop working. I came outside and the victim was on the ground and the suspect was on top of her, trying to go through her pockets, i guess. Reporter malik says he recognized the suspect, a woman, possibly a transient. She tried to take off. The coworkers realized what happened so they grabbed her. Well, grabbed her by her bike. Reporter witnesses say the construction workers followed them until police arrived. Authorities took both people into custody and recovered what they believe to be the murder weapon. You can never predict when attacks are going to happen and you can never predict how quickly these events will take place. This person had an edged weapon, attacked a woman, and everything happened within minutes. Reporter the coroner has identified the victim as a 58 yearold of San Francisco. She had worked for the company for the last two years. A spokesperson described her as loyal and someone who always did a great job. She said they are grieving with her family right now and trying to deal with the shock. That is also true for those who say they looked forward to seeing campbells face each day that she worked. Terrifying. Its really sad. It hurts. Reporter neighbors have placed flowers at the spot where the victim used to work. The rest of her crew was sent home for the day. In San Francisco, ann rubin, ktvu fox 2 news. The San Francisco 49ers are offering pointers to some Young Athletes in the south bay. The football camp for the stars is in its 10th year at Valley Christian High School in san jose. The camp is designed for student athletes who have Downs Syndrome and who love football. The campers are learning all the banks of the game with some help from the professionals. We learn tackling, we learn quarterback skills, we learn how to catch the ball. They get handson coaching from steve mariucci. Its fun for the athletes but i think the comps and the people here, its actually even a better experience. The football camp for the stars at valley christian has inspired two other similar camps. One in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, and another in st. Louis. The camp runs through tomorrow at Valley Christian High School. Thats awesome. Having coach mariucci out there helping you, thats great stuff. Lets talk about our weather with chief meteorologist bill martin. Today was pretty nice. A little warmer today, huh. Temperatures up about three or four degrees. Friday is here. The weekend is beginning. Temperatures are going to warm up. Weve got temperatures that are going to be a good 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the numbers we saw this week. Last week was record heat, spare the air days. This week was cool, mild, and now we kind of go back into sort of an increased temperature. Weve got a red flag warning for tomorrow morning through sunday, and mainly north and east of the bay area. But the idea that High Pressure builds in and were warming up. The low pressure center, you see it spinning up around portland. Thats migrating off. As it does, it leaves a hole in the atmosphere so the high jumps right into it, so as the high builds in, the air starts to sink and we start to warm up. Kind of a cool feature right here this sort of cloud streak. We used to call at cloud street. Its just a band of clouds. Its not a jet contrail or nick. Its just a band of clouds. Really no fog out there. So watching the sunset in the avenues, 72 in fairfield, 74 in livermore. Look at the difference from yesterday. Theres four degrees cooler in fairfield, yet four degrees warmer in napa. Its really a wash. This whole week, you could have lived without me all week, quite frankly. You know that. Ive been saying the same thing because its been very similar all week. But now you need me because things are changing. The fog bank is shrinking, and this is going to compress the marine layer. It is going to allow the beaches to be relatively clear. It is also going to give bay area air quality a little bit of a hit. For fairfield, vacaville, the hills of the far north bay, but the fact that its sort of a harbinger of things to come as we head forward in time. Were going to start seeing more red flag warnings, but more centered on the bay area. Its a lowgrade red flag warning. When we get some highgrade ones with big 5mileperhour winds, but this is a low grade one. It just means its not going to be 105. Its going to be 88 degrees, 85 degrees, with some humidity and wind. So there you go. A nice looking day. Slightly cooler on saturday but not much. Cooling continues. Actually those words are wrong. Those are incorrect words. The numbers are right. Dont look at the words. Im looking. Tomorrow is going to be slightly warmer. Slightly warmer. Let me scamper back to my little hole back here. We probably didnt even notice. The numbers are good. You said we couldnt live without you. I think we need you. I was fishing. Thank you, julie. We didnt take the bait. We need you. We were thinking it, though. I have to go fix that. Bill, thank you.

And a growing backlash over a controversial sentencing in the stanford Sexual Assault trial as we hear from one of several is jurors who are now refusing to serve for the judge in that case.
