And well be back to our so they leave backpacks or cameras, anything visible on the seat on only takes criminals. Second sometimes theres just opportunists who are walking down the street.

Why this may be for voters last night we brought you the final president ial debate live here on kron 4 we side different donald trump from round one. Our political analyst tells us with president s improved performance could his son is back in court well break down a big story we are following tonight. Scott peterson was back in court virtually today and he may get a new trial peterson was convicted of killing his wife lacy and their unborn child was a National Story joining us now to help break down. The latest developments in this highprofile cases, Defense Attorneys paula canny paula lets set this up by explaining why hes in court to begin with he was sent san quentin prison found guilty. But apparently theres some kind of juror misconduct decide whats going on here. Was actually because of the California Supreme Courts decision that the Death Penalty decision has to be vacated the California Supreme Court said the way that the jury was selected was fundamental and there today its to the point that it rendered the jurys Death Penalty verdict in he was in court today to deal with the penalty phase they hearing on whether or not hes going to get a new trial is going to be in San Mateo County. In the next few weeks i mean the interesting thing is it sort of makes no sense that this case was in status last county. 17 years ago status last county. Roll that the venue had to be changed to San Mateo County. The other issue that was on today was who was going to represent him and it was interesting because the Public Defenders Office been appointed to represent him, but in 2003 the Public Defenders Office declared a conflict because they represented one of the 2 young men will were burglarizing a house across the street from the peterson house. So nobody can figure out why this case was on calendar today and stands last county when status laws county should not have jurisdiction anymore of this case, everything should be going on in San Mateo County. So it was kind of shocking appearance and yes, its gotten your burch live from san quentin. And that in itself is also interesting i dont know how theyll do it. When the case is on or. Can use. Can you still hear us look solid anna. Just sir connection there just just to recap though, and because of the confusion that there might be that people who werent here dont recall the specifics of this case. Scott peterson and his wife lisa lived in modesto in Stanislaus County right thats where she disappeared theres a massive search generated headlines across the country. So she disappeared from stanislaw county. But her body was found off of the berkeley pier. I believe in the waters off of the in San Pablo Bay and because of the high publicity. The case was moved to San Mateo County so paulas back with all it can you hear us now. Okay i can how sorry let me ask you a because this all is confusing for people who are not you know, theyll have a legal background that you have so this possible new trial is not based on new evidence that could possibly free him. Its based on something involving the joar and this was such a horrific case does that mean that. If he didnt do it then who did would there be a new investigation with this big in from the beginning. Yes, i mean, so theres 2 issues for the court to decide one is the issue of penalty and thats then decide the California Supreme Court says he gets a new penalty. Trial to decide what punishment he should get should he get the Death Penalty. And then the other issue arises from the rate of pay be is corpus and that date. California Supreme Court said a trial court has to decide if there was juror misconduct that was so great. Theyre rendered. Scott peterson to be fundamentally unfair and that juror misconduct relates to that juror rachelle published her own name because she wrote a book with 5 other jurors and they called are like strawberry shortcake and so what it was discovered is she had lied during jury selection she said she had never been a party to a lawsuit she never been a victim of a crime there were other things when in reality when she was 4 and a half months pregnant. She had been. A crime victim of the father of the babies, former girlfriend, okay direct and her she actually. Rachelle this this odd juror actually went and got a restraining order against this you know person was allegedly stalking her followers getting were getting a little bit deeper into the weeds on this saying were just trying to keep. I you know we when we have more time well get deeper into it as well but this was just initial court case. We know theres going to be a lot thats going to play it play now. Paula thank you so much for your sorry sorry that so know youre a lawyer that lawyer getting into the details we appreciate it and ill talk to you soon thank you paula. All right well as we told you at the top of the newscast. We are following breaking news tonight. A wildfire has sparked tonight in napa county it is being called the pope fire the fire was reported at about 4. 10 this afternoon near lower Chiles Valley road and chiles pope valley road.

This comes right near the l a new fire remember just to the west of that was the glass fire, so this is an area that weve seen the fires burning already we know the force are full of fuel and thats what were looking at right now thats where were concerned that a fire started before we see a major wind event rolling in the bay area, heres the forecast for some of those winds as we head in toward the next few hours were going to see the winds. Fairly light. This is the time when firefighters really want to work their best and the hardest to control this fire this by saturday early in the morning tomorrow and then as we head through the day you can see some breeze in the afternoon but then things change.
