original death sentence was overturned by the california supreme court on appeal, the justices said the trial judge had wrongly tossed prospective jurors who were against the death penalty assuming they would not follow the law. peterson that lived with his family in modesto. investigators say he killed lacey at their home around christmas eve 2000 and two and dumped her body in san francisco bay from his fishing boat. his trial was moved to redwood city because of publicity. peterson's attorney, pat harris, said the evidence shows that burglars were responsible for the killings. he said his client is innocent. one of the things that really. upsets him is this concept that he did not want to have a child? and he wanted to talk a little bit about that. and the fact that he would never. ever harm lacey and connor. coming up this afternoon at 45 and six we'll hear from janey peterson, who is scott peterson's sister in law. she also spoke out on his behalf . now scott peterson will be back here in redwood city. for a

yeah, it's going to be about a week. mike here in redwood city . the judge will listen to evidence and try to rule within 90 days on the defense motion for a whole new trial. on the basis that one of the jurors rachelle nice, who folks have called strawberry shortcake right here at the time, did not disclose that she had filed a restraining order related to a domestic issue, and they defense is that she was biased against scott peterson. so the story continues into next year and we'll be there to cover it. all right, henry lee live there in redwood city, henry. thank you. a marijuana delivery service in oakland is the latest business to be hit by a group of thieves . they struck on back to back nights and clean the place out. ktvu access reports by the business owner is upset for a number of reasons. just in shock, really? that they had the audacity to come back again. lawrence webb, who owns the presto canna cannabis delivery service in oakland's fruitvale neighborhood, down close to $50,000. after back to back burglaries, they parked up. right across the street up here

major holiday season here, um, the process will be negotiated on an overseeing in the next 60 days by the police chief. and his team, but the sheriff is ready to go. they have a good identified group of about 20 to 50 sheriff's and get this off the ground. the police department will indeed oversee the first phase of this plan, since they have been offering this type of extra security for more than two decades. police in berkeley say they've received another report of a man pretending to be a police officer following high school girls. officers say that an unidentified man cornered one girl near channing way and mcgee avenue monday. she told police he claimed to be an officer and wanted her to give him a hug. she says he also threatened her with a knife before driving away in a red mustang. police say that this is the second time since such behavior has been reported the first time happened near fourth and gilman back in october. officers say that man made similar demands and threats to another teenage girl. across the bay. now we're restaurants across san francisco. we're trying to protect their dining

represents district three, including north beach, chinatown and fisherman's warf district i represent is ground zero for restaurants and bars, he says. restaurants have called his office to say they're getting notices of fines. that aren't even included in the city's dining platform legislation, he says. it all adds up to a headache for restaurant owners. and fortunately, the city bureaucracy has made that extremely difficult for restaurant tours, who are still recovering and still hanging on. and frankly, it's been. insulting what they've had to go through. it's adding insult to injury. the city says restaurants will have until at least june of next year to make any modifications to the dining platforms. the mayor attending a pop up shopping experience in san francisco city hall reaffirmed her commitment to getting rid of any red tape in the dining platform process and said she's working to make sure the platforms are here to stay. we're here to work with the industry. my understanding is about 10% of some of the park.

bit longer to keep that hope to keep working not to give up at california, wet burrito. they're feeling hopeful not just for themselves, but for neighboring businesses to like, very important for us, and it means like so much for us over the next 45 days. details of the grant program will be worked out. the supervisors hope to get the money back into the community soon after that, in santa clara county, and ruben ktvu fox two news, the board of supervisors and contra costa county wants more accountability from the health department about how it's enforcing covid-19 restrictions. supervisor karen mithoff called for a detailed report by next week on complaints finds and businesses refusing to check customers vaccine records earlier this week, the health department says it did not issue any finds last month for 80 businesses that were reported as ignoring proof of vaccination checks. marin county now has the highest covid infection rate in the bay area. according to the chronicle, marin county, also one of the counties with the highest vaccination rates, and therefore
