The sentencing hearing, which is still taking place on the second floor of the hall of justice behind me here in San Francisco was just in recess. It is back in session.

Reporter breed joins a growing field of other candidates who have already announced their intent to run in the june election including former state senator mark leno, supervisor jane kim, and former supervisor angela alioto. In addition to the legal and ethical questions, breeds position as acting mayor would also give her what critics consider to be an unfair advantage over the other candidates.
