At joe mitchell elementary. What happened in second grade. All downhill. My teacher mrs. Clark took us out for ice cream sundaes. Are you roped into the spelling bee drama. No. This is interesting. I love beer and ribs and you love spelling. I love spelling. Do you watch the competition. This is a little bit of the actual competition. There is a documentary called spell bound. It is about an hour and a half. If you can find it, the the emotion and the drama. Very tense. Real quick question. Yes. Do they study the dictionary. They study everything. Do you think these children every day at home have a dictionary in front of them. The children are also pressuring them self. The peer pressure. I didnt think i could get White Knuckle over spelling but i have. They are smarter than all three of us im sure. Lets begin in the south bay. The jury is expected to begin deliberate rating the sentence of the man it convicted of kidnapping and killing a south bay teenager. Thats right. Antolin garciatorres could be sentenced to death for killing sierra lamar five years ago. Alex savidge is live in san jose at the courthouse where jurors will make that life and death decision. Alex. Reporter good morning to all of you. Certainly this jury faces a very difficult choice deciding whether sierra lamars killer should be put to death for his crimes. And those jurors are gathering right now at the courthouse in san jose to begin deliberations in the penalty phase of the trial. Prosecutors were telling the jury yesterday that Garcia Torres deserves the Death Penalty for kidnapping and killing sierra lamar. Prosecutors showed the jury photos of the 15yearold girl from morgan hill who disappeared five years ago on her way to school. Sierras body was never found. Still the jury convicted Garcia Torres of her murder. Now the same jurors will decide whether he lives or dies. Garciatorres created a lot of victims here. Not just sierra and her family. The other women that he attempted to kidnap. But his own family and children. The responsibility falls directly on him. He shouldnt be seen as someone enjoying sympathy when he created the carnage. Reporter for their part, Defense Attorneys are arguing that the jury should spare garciatorres life considering the fact that he grew up surrounding by poverty, abuse and neglect. They also have been reminding this jury that garciatorres has a child of his own. Again, garciatorres attorneys are hoping this jury may have a shadow of a doubt and potentially will spare his life. We will have to see as the penalty phase of the trial winds down here. Either a life sentence or a death sentence. Thank you, alex. There are two other verdicts were waiting for. A jury deliberate rating murder charges against three sheriffs deputies accused of beating a jail inmate to death. If convicted they face the possibility of life in prison. In the east bay a jury in oakland is continuing deliberations in the trial of four men accused in the shooting death of pierce. She was killed while trying to protect her children from a shootout in front of the oakland home. Prosecutors say it was in self defense following a fight between two groups of people. The sheriff is confirming that she is declaring a staffing emergency. She is ordering overtime for all of the deputies. There are not enough deputies to staff the county jails without the ot. There are are currently 840 deputies in the sheriffs department. Hen see says a full staff would have 915 deputies. She requiring each deputy to work at least 12 hours of overtime per papered until more deputies can be hired. That means spreading the pain across the board basically. And getting people to work at least one eight hour shift on one of their regular days off. The Deputies Union does not like this overtime order. It creates a deputy safety issue. The sheriff says the new class of deputies is graduating soon and will fill half of the needed vacancies. It took three and a half hours longer but a jetblue flight from new york to San Francisco finally arrived at sfo around midnight. The plane was force today land in grand rapids, michigan after a passengers laptop caught fire. The computer was inside of a carryon bag that led to smoke. The lithium battery overheated. There were about 158 people on board. And passengers say everyone acted calmly as the crew landed in grand rapids and checked it out and then took off for sfo. President trump is expected to withdraw the u. S. From the paris climb accord. He will announce his decision over the next few days. Over the recent g7 summit in italy, President Trump refused to endorse the deal. Former president obama and the leaders of 140 countries agreed to take action to reduce global warming. President trump says the agreement is bad for the economy. President trump has been giving his cell phone number to World Leaders and urging them to call him directly. The Associated Press reports this has raised concerns about the security of the phone conversations. Calls between word leaders are usually highly orchestrated and done on secure lines. The leaders of mexico and canada have his cell phone. He apparently gave his number to frances newly elected president. A President Trump tweet is trending this morning. The president posted this tweet at midnight eastern side. Despite the constant negative press, covfefe which is most likely a typo for the word coverage. He has deleted this and replaced it with this one. Talk about this and more with our ktvu political analyst joining us on the phone. Are you with us, brian. I am indeed, gasia. We will talk about covfefe in a moment. We will start with the paris climb alternate agreement. The president is meeting with Rex Tillerson who wants to stay in the deal. Do you think that secretary tillerson can persuade President Trump to stay or is his mind made up. I dont think his mind is made up. I think he is getting tremendous push back not only by the secretary of state but apparently by his by his daughter. And his advisers. There is quite a debate within the white house and of course people from around the country. Not heads of industry and other people are checking in. Im guessing that where he thought he was going originally by pulling out is now tempered by the amount of pushback that he is getting. Is this just a political decision . Is it something that he was saying that this will be this will make me look good in front of my base jobs, jobs, jobs. But is a decision to get out going to cause more damage to him and his stature. Well, i think, sal, the answer is that he is being advised by those who wish to stay in the accord that this will take america out of a leadership role on climate protection. And that may not be a good thing for other things President Trump wants to accomplish around the world. And that is the key. If hes only appealing to his base, well, he made it clear during the campaign that he wanted to pull out of that agreement. You get into office and you have competing interests. And we will see if those can pull him away from a decision to pull out. You mentioned his daughter, brian. Do you think he listens to his daughter more than he does his secretary of state . Well, i think his daughter is very important. He trusts family. We have seen that clearly early on. And i think the his daughter and other people in the white house are saying, hey, be careful about this decision because it has worldwide ramifications. Right. And finally, brian, before we have to let you go. It looks like president is having as much fun with covfefe as the American Public is. This is the manifestation of the new social media and what we all experience in our own lives. Which is sometimes if were rushing, we tweet something incorrect or texts are mangled. The difference here is he is the president of the united states. And that causes some concern along the way. Political analyst brian sobel. Thank you for joining us. Absolutely. Kathy griffin is admitting she went too far after posting a photo with a fake severed head that looked like President Trump. She is asking the photographer that she worked with to take down the images and the secret service is now investigating. Jackie ibanez has more from griffin. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people. It wasnt fun i i get it. Comic Kathy Griffin under fire after a picture of what is supposed to look like a severed head belonging to president donald trump. Criticism quickly followed. Including from former first daughter Chelsea Clinton calling it vile and wrong and saying, quote, it is never funny to joke about killing a president. I find this photograph deplorable and dont condone it at all. If were talking about free speech, she has as much right to pose with that shot as ted nugent has to say about things about hillary clinton. Kathy griffin posted this apology. I apologize. Im a comic. I crossed the line. She originally called the imagery an artsy statement mocking President Trump and says she does not condone violence. There should be consequences for this violent imagery. People who employ Kathy Griffin should ask if they should continue. I made a mistake and i am wrong. Donald junior called it disturbing but not surprising. What if a conservative would have done this when president obama was in office. President trump also tweeted that his young son bareon is having a hard time seeing that image. Yeah. I know she is apologizing. But is she apologizing for the incident or trying to save her career. Chelsea clinton mentioned something. She said it was vile and wrong. She already had one sponsorship she lost one. There will be fallout from it. Coming up on mornings on 2, we will circle back to a story we reported a few weeks ago. Hackers holding the pirates of caribbean for ransom. Why two south bay schools have no choice to give up air conditioning and heating for the time being. Rich, radiant color and it cares for my hair. No color protects better. Or covers gray better. So much care in one little box. Excellence creme from loreal paris. Tracking a bit of a slide on stocks. Not too bad. The dow hanging on to the 21,000 mark. It was down by 28 points. S p 5 and nasdaq also down. A lot of people wondering when the summer weather will actually come. It is the end of may. It might get here some day, right, steve. Sal, you know that summer means foggy in the city. Im talking about antioch. Yeah. They will warm up. The water temps are brutally cold. That equals a cool pattern. On this last day of may, we had rain. Just patchy fog. Sun and clouds. There is a breeze. Temperatures 60sand 70s. Over the city and the coast you get blue skies. A couple one hundredths to. 03 and. 04. Hollister had. 08. There goes the system to the far right of the screen. Inland temps are poised, ready, set, not yet go. Tomorrow they will warm up. San francisco buoy is a brisk 49 which is colder than bodega bay. They have been cold there. As long as they stay there, the fog has no problem forming. There is a westerly breeze. Not a independent so much as yesterday. 50 and 60. Some locations bumping up quick here. In the sierra, theyre getting rain. That is the same system that visited us 4 00, 5 00 in the morning. In the pacific there are clouds. They will work their way in. Inland temps will warm up. 60s and 70s. A couple days in the 80s for the inland areas. Maybe saturday. And then cooler again on sunday. Thank you, steve. You bet. More than 150 students, parents and education advocates will be arriving in sacramento at any moment to speak to state lawmakers about education issues. Allie rasmus was in san jose to talk to the group about their goals before they hit the road. They met the Transit Center in san jose early this morning. 6 30 a. M. Is when the charter buses pulled into the parking lot and 150 people got on board. They are on their way to sacramento to spend the day and meet with lawmakers to talk about education issues. Now, included in this group of 150 people were more than a dozen students from quinnby Oaks Middle School in san jose. Also education advocates from nonprofit organizations, several parents, teachers, former administrators and county leaders in the group. They brought up a number of different education issues. Many had to do with funding and resources for local schools, things that affect teacher salaries and after school programs. We would like to see like some more i guess teacher support and be able to use facilities at the school to we can like branch out the program more. Expansion of the elective programs. Because at our school, we have electives like band and choir and pbl and art. But i feel like we could do better than that and add things like language, like spanish or french. I taught for 12 years before i became a stay at home mom. And i know that if the incentives were better, we have lost a lot of teachers to other industries. Reporter the trip has been going on for 15 years they have been making this trip to sacramento. We spoke to him about some of the issues that he wants to bring up with state lawmakers. One of them has to do with the formulas that the state uses to allocate money to local schools from property taxes. He says the formulas are outdated and it is a problem going back to 1979 when the state passed proposition 13, which limits property values. A variety of different issues. The Group Members of the group plan to bring up with state lawmakers out in sacramento today. In san jose, allie rasmus, ktvu fox 2 news. Still in san jose, students at three Elementary Schools without airconditioning or working heaters will have to deal with that problem in the at least next year. They will be in class until june 15th, two more weeks now. Teachers say it was built in 1961. It has never had air conditioning. During the warmer months students gets overheated. During the colder months, students actually wear gloves to keep their hands warm. The money is coming from two bond measures. The teachers say instead of creating an environment for Young Students, some of the money went to build Multi Purpose rooms at middle schools. The district defends that decision. If you put out the bond thats he we put out and what we asked of the community, thats what the Community Asked for. They wanted newer facilities and competitive facilities where kids would be able to access top of the line education. Teachers and parents say Young Students could be better prepared if they had an easier time learning in elementary school. They hope the cooler weather continues until school lets out in two weeks. All work and very little play. The surprising number of americans who have work on their mind even when theyre supposed to be relaxing during vacation. Not me, man. Im out. Good for you guys. You too. I need to get there. A recent study by account temps shows that most americans with not taking full advantage of their vacations. In fact 54 of workers more than half say they check in with the office at least once or twice a week while on vacation. That number 54 is up from 41 last year. 37 of workers feel they dont get enough vacation time. The Study Reveals u. S. Workers plan to take on average ten Vacation Days this summer. All of this pushes to our question of the day which is this do you unplug from the office when you leave for vacation . 32 say yep, im completely out of reach. Almost half though, 49 say i check in occasionally. 19 say no, i am always available. On twitter david said most of the time but i tend to check work emails when i have downtime. Jan says nope too much relies on me if im needed. Retired to you but in the past it depended on the job. It is one of the things that i unplugged. For more on this we are joined by Senior District president cindy. Thank you for coming in. 54 is higher than i thought. The jump from 41 . The question is why. If i were to guess, it would be im afraid of getting fired. I need to be tapped into work. I see. If you think about it, for me when i wake up this morning, what is the first thing that i see . My cell phone. The first thing that i see when i go to bed at night. Thats what most employees do. They take their cell phone with them and their laptop with them and feel compelled to be engaged in work. So it is habit. It is habit. A lot is habit. Part of the culture. A bit of it is culture. Maybe everybody else checks out. But if im in an environment where mike and gasia are always plugged in, then im going to take my cues from my peers. I should be plugged in too. Peers and subordinates and their superiors. If the boss doesnt unplug from work, the employees will not either. I see a total disconnect from the numbers. 37 say were not getting enough vacation. But half of us are checking our phones and checking in with work while on vacation. Why the disconnect . It is so true. There are things that we can do as both employees and employers. Employees, if you put together what i would call a vacation action plan, so before you go on vacation, let your peers know what you will be doing, when you will be engaged, when you wont be engaged. Thats like the last thing that i want to do. Im going to be here and there. Put boundaries around it. True. On when you might be able to be engaged. And let them know what they can what they can expect. You know, another thing that happens quite a bit with employees is they forget to put their vacation on the calendar. So sometimes the employer forgets they are on vacation. They ping them, they are on e mails and feel compelled to respond. On my phone, it has the iphones a lot of phones have i check all of my inboxes with one thick. If im looking for a personal e mail, my work email is there. It is tempting these days to stay checked in. Does that pose a problem . It is very true. It is easy to stay checked in. There are also many tools that you can use. Have a personal email address and a work email address and keep them separated. My yahoo is this line and my work is this line. I mentioned earlier that we went to kings canyon for the long memorial day weekend. There was not a cell signal to be had. At first i freaked. But after a couple hours, i
