disappeared five years ago on her way to school. sierra's body was never found. still the jury convicted garcia- torres of her murder. now the same jurors will decide whether he lives or dies. >> garcia-torres 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 shouldn't be seen as someone enjoying sympathy when he created the carnage. >> reporter: for their part, defense attorneys are arguing that the jury should spare garcia-torres' life considering the fact that he grew up surrounding by poverty, abuse and neglect. they also have been reminding this jury that garcia-torres has a child of his own. again, garcia-torres' 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 we're waiting for. a jury deliberate rating murder charges against three sheriff's 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 sheriff's 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 passenger's laptop caught fire. the computer was inside of a carry-on bag that led to smoke.

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 france's 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 don't 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. i'm 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 he's 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 we're 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 wasn't 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 don't condone it at all. if we're 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. i'm 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 crème from l'oréal paris.

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 air-conditioning 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 that's he we put out and what we asked of the community, that's 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 they're supposed to be relaxing during vacation. >> not me, man. >> i'm 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 don't 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, i'm 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 e-mails when i have downtime. >> jan says nope too much relies on me if i'm 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 i'm 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. that's 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 i'm in an environment where mike and gasia are always plugged in, then i'm going to take my cues from my peers. i should be plugged in too. >> peers and subordinates and their superiors. if the boss doesn't unplug from work, the employees will not either. >> i see a total disconnect from the numbers. 37% say we're 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 won't be engaged. >> that's like the last thing that i want to do. i'm 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 i'm looking for a personal e- mail, my work e-mail 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 e-mail address and a work e-mail 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 got into it. i had no idea what was going on in the world until we made it back to fresno, which was nice. it was forced though. >> what i don't like is when i come back to work after a week off, an extended period and i go into the meeting and people say you must be so fresh. i'm not fresh. i need to work on that. do you have advice for reentering after being unplugged. >> absolutely. i would set a meeting with your boss as soon as you get back to debrief on what happened. it will get you up to speed much quicker. and it will make you feel like

you haven't missed a beat while were you gone. it is important that you unplug while you're on vacation because it helps your productivity go up. you know, i was just recently at the san francisco business times. best places to work event. >> yeah. >> and one of the -- some of the best places to work, what they're offering now is unlimited cpo or unlimited vacation. not everybody is going to take that time. but having the ability to do it and the flexibility to do it frankly as an employer is something that we need to do to attract the best talent in the market. >> i like that idea. our boss' office is on the second floor. northwest corner. go and pitch that. thank you for joining us, cindy. >> thank you. >> tell her that we sent you. >> thank you. coming up on the 9, bay area coach preparing for retirement. the team hopes to send him off with one more championship.

>> welcome back to the 9. typically this time of the 9 we check your twitter responses for the question of the day which is do you totally unplug from the office while on vacation. definitely when i'm on my harley davidson, it is me and the wind riding down the road on a good run. no work concerns in that tweet. >> somebody tweeted saying his boss actually ended up tweeting pictures to someone at work, one of the clients because he has all of his clients numbers in his phone. he saw a number, oh, this must be my niece. started tweeting personal pictures of the family.

>> texting. >> yeah. this is a picture of me in hawaii. and then the client is wondering why am i getting this. it turns out that he had all of his numbers mixed up. he thought it was his niece's number. they are similar. so separate is the moral of the story. >> separate work from play. >> i actually put your name and your title. you're like mike mibach work. and then i have friends. latrice doesn't need the text that you're going to get and you don't want to see the text that i send to her. that's a funny story. let's talk more about the day's news, why don't we. >> let's go to dave clark who is in studio a. >> thank you, sal. here are some of the top stories we're following. this afternoon at 1:00, the woman at the oakland police sex scandal will hold a news conference now that the claim has been filed that she filed for almost $1 million. jazz main will be paid a
