Nbc bay area sam brock has been covering this case from the start and joins us from the halls justice. Sam. Reporter raunl, good evening. Today the jury and even the judge had to maintain their focus through hours of video playback. Some of that video we had seen before from the fire boat on pier 22 1 2 what was interesting was the defense argued simultaneously how poor the quality of the video was and then said the same video proves their case. The defense drove home what it called two critical pieces of evidence today. The first we have showed you. The stills of silhouetted figures circling sitting and bending over the seat jose zarate would occupy 30 minutes later. We believe its entirely likely that group of individual discarded the weapon. Its unclear why anybody discards a weapon. But a stolen weapon a weapon a weapon of a federal agent. But Defense Attorneys unveiled a new wrinkle represented in the sketch. A zoom on zarate sitting down and appearing to bend over mere seconds before kate steinle drops to the pavement. And that is again consistent with his statement that he saw something in a rag, picked it up and it went off. In an odd twist Defense Attorneys summoned this man as their sole witness today. Video enhancement expert paul endo, to dissect why the video was floued compressed quality lack of details poor contrast in many places. Endo, today also testifying that the fire boat video had to be compressed because the cameras collect so much foot annual its the way to store it. The video ends up having a third as many frames as Standard Video might. That means getting a lot of the details can be kind of tough like seeing whether or not garsa zarate was raising the gun.

Thats one of the locations behind you, anser. Thats right the Santa Clara CountyDistrict Attorney says one of the worst incidents happened here at elements massage in campbell. They insist if the three women didnt come forward slate would have likely gotten away from this crime. Now he faces up to a year in jail and must register as a sex offender.

Our business and tech reporter scott budman is with us. Scott this escalated quickly. Reporter yeah it did taylor swift after is all is a major superstar taking on a small blog and its bay area author. Both getting a lot of attention tonight because swift would rather replace the article with blank space. Taylor swift is a global superstar. But a previously littleknown bay area blogger has stirred up a hornets nest with this post called swiftly to the altright. Writing that the lyrics might give support to altright. You took the kingdom keys once belonged to me process. Have similar tones to the charlottesville chant. The blog postgot the attention of the swift camp which sent herning a cease and desist letter calling the post a malicious attack on swift and demand going be taken down. The letter was really threatening and really aggressive. So herning, a san jose native now living further north reached out to the aclu of Northern California which wrote back to swifts lawyer. We think that this sort of tmgs tactic is unacceptable. Rejecting the order to remove the blog post standing by hernings writing. The powerful cant just use legal threats to silence the pourless and people running blogs or speaking about their opinions on public issues of the day. The aclu insists the post is not defamation. Swifts team has not commented on the aclu involvement.

We get so excited about rain across the bay area at least this time of the year when we begin to see storm systems moving closer. Can you count me of course in that category.

You can see at 6 00 we start off with cloudy skies. May get a little bit of shower popping at 9 30 in the morning. But i really think at this point its not going to be until about 5 00 on wednesday when we see showers dwing to develop here across the north bay. Then when the cold front starts to move down later tomorrow night at 11 30, the north bay, San Francisco and the east bay start to get some accumulations. Maybe closer to san jose. So from 11 30 on wednesday right into thursday morning thats the best chance to pick up activity with possibly some lingering rain into thursday morning. We are going to run out the full totals coming up at 6 48. But i want to transition now into sierra snow. We got a lot with the last storm. Snow levels look high with this as it movers in. 7 to 8,000 feet, 3 to 7 inches. Winds gusty at 65mileperhour. You got to go up high to get anything with the storm wednesday and into thursday. Temperatures tomorrow drop as the cloud cover increases. Mid60s here inland. Low 60s throughout the coastline. Longer looks at this 7day forecast more coming up at 6 48 tonight and the full microclimate totals on how much rainfall. See you shortly, jeff.
