KPIX KPIX 5 News Early Edition July 10, 2014

The people of antioch this week saying investigators are working to solve the open cases on their desks. But that many witnesses have been uncooperative. As for the plans to get the extra Police Officers on the streets on overtime the Police Department wont say when that will happen because of Operational Security but it will be in the near future. Well hear from the citys mayor pro tem in the next half hour. Live in antioch, anne makevoc, kpix 5. Antioch has about 100,000 people and only 88 Police Officers. Compared to richmond, they actually have a smaller population and a lot more officers, 190. It turns out the dodgers are partially responsible for the brutal attack on bryan stow. Thats what a los angeles jury decided yesterday. And they awarded stow 18 million. The 45yearold giants fan was left with a serious brain injury after he was attacked by two dodgers fans during a home opener in l. A. In 2012. The thing, he did get some money to help his future and thats what we wanted. He is not going to be, uhm, 100 maybe for a long time, maybe never. But what he gets will help him through now. I feel like its a victory and its and its a big weight off our shoulders. The dodgers were held liable for 14 million in medical expenses and a million for pain and suffering. The two men convicted of beating stow by the way were held accountable for 3 million. Former dodgers own other Frank Mccourt was found not liable. Lets check in with liz now for a look at our morning commute. And the metering lights have been on for about 15 minutes now over at the bay bridge. So kcbs is reporting that its backed up now to the foot of the maze. They have been cycling through the metering lights slowly so its kind of your usual stuff for this time of the morning. They turned the metering lights on at 5 48 and once again, youre looking at least 15 to 20 minutes to get on to the bridge. On the upper eastshore freeway hercules, an accident blocking a lane westbound 80 approaching highway 4. Sounds like they are not able to get a car off to the shoulder so it is slow in the area. We were seeing more yellow sensors a little earlier. So it looks like things are slowly improving. They are trying to get more lanes open now in hercules. And kcbs traffic once again our Radio Partners reporting that that power outage south of market in San Francisco power has been restored. Initially they had hoped to get everything back open and all those traffic lights restored by 7 30. But it looks like those intersections are running like clockwork now on 6th and brannon and 6th and folsom. Thats your latest kcbs traffic. Another check of your forecast heres lawrence. The low clouds and fog are back, liz, sweeping onshore pretty typical summerlike pattern right now. You know that what means, starting out with clouds early on, lots of sunshine by the afternoon in most spots. It will be a nice day in the afternoon but temperatures will be cooler. 60s and 70s inside the bay. You will find some 70s and out in the valleys and 60s along the coastline. Outside now we have 50s and low 60s and mostly cloudy skies out over the bay. Temperatures this afternoon 78 in san jose. 76 in the napa valley and 66 degrees a little breezy right through San Francisco. Thats the latest forecast, guys. Back to you. Thank you. Happening today, cannabis clubs in san jose are fighting a plan to shut them down. They are planning a massive rally. Cannabis clubs and their supporters are planning that rally to stop the city from shutting them down. Kiet do is live at city hall where the rally will take place. Reporter quite a few people will be out here in a couple of hours desperately trying to get enough signatures before a lot of the pot clubs will have to close by july 18. Collectors have been out for a couple of days trying to get 100,000 signatures to put the referendum on the November Ballot and to reverse the new rules. Three of the biggest changes involve requiring dispensaries to grow their own marijuana, forcing them into Industrial Zones, and also requiring them to make all their own edibles like cookies and brownies. Under these new rules, nearly all 73 dispensaries will face closure in eight days forcing a lot of patients to go elsewhere with 1,000 employees losing their jobs. With the citys regulations it would be virtually impossible to continue to operate so what were doing is a referendum to change what the city is doing. If theres going to be a campaign, i will form the committee, raise the money and organize the effort to protect children, schools and neighborhoods. Reporter the first 1,000 people to show up at the protest will get a free medical evaluation and if they qualify a free cannabis card. Thats just for attending, not for signing the petition. Some dispensaries came under fire during the primaries a few weeks ago when they promised premarijuana to anybody who voted. The protest will go from noon to 7 p. M. Today. Kiet, what happens if they actually do collect enough signatures to put a referendum on the ballot . Reporter so they will be new uncharted territory for the city. Do they work to shut the places down . They will essentially be in limbo as they wait to see what happens. If the Voters Decide whether to approve the referendum in november, so we are just going to have to wait and see. An oaklands girl who disappeared a year ago today will be remembered at a candlelighted prayer vigil tonight. Daphne webbs father reported she was taken from his car while he was in a store on 79th avenue. She was 21 months old at the time. And theres been no sign of her since.
