our senses of equality and due process to subject somebody to life in prison without the possibility of parole, where there's been a racial justice act violation. earlier, the prosecutor acknowledged that the antioch police officers did in fact violate the racial justice act, a new state law that allows for those charged with a crime to challenge it on the basis of racial bias. it was up to judge goldstein to decide on legal remedies to address it, caamano says. the judge will also allow the defendants to impeach the officers, or to question the credibility of their testimony or evidence based on the racist texts, and that is crucial because what it acknowledges is that the investigation itself has been compromised. professor greg woods, with the department of justice studies at san jose state university, says striking of special circumstances. under the california racial justice act is historic. but he points out that the judge did not reduce the actual charges as the

dorsey has a look at conditions in one of the hardest hit areas. >> even though the power was off, the power tools were on and running in san jose's willow glen neighborhood. tuesday >> worst storm in 32 years by far this was all from danny hooper's giant redwoods, but across the street, several trees snapped, bringing lines down with them. >> that was sunday afternoon, 48 hours later, still no electricity here. >> p-g-and-e's has told us three times that it was going to be such and such a time, and they didn't show up, they said it was going to be on at 330 yesterday and then it got moved to ten. and then i heard from other neighbors that it wasn't going to be until 4 a.m. tomorrow. >> so sitting in a cold, dark house has been tough for lacey balog and her eight month old son, wade, to be honest, it's been pretty brutal. >> we've been without without heat power for three days now. he's managing good, but we're trying to do our best. we went out on a walk today and we saw this, uh, the power line that
6:04 pm
was down. so we figured, oh, are they working on it? >> but doesn't seem like they are yet. >> p-g-and-e's crews were working just ten miles away in east san jose. a power pole snapped across several backyards on san pablo avenue. the residents of the street were among the 30,000 customers without power in the south bay tuesday morning. >> we've experienced the third most outages of any storm in p-g-and-e's history. it was pretty intense on sunday with hurricane force winds, a first ever for our california coast. >> the utility has more than 3000 workers working 24 over seven since the storm. p-g-and-e's teresa alvarado says the work requires multiple steps for safety reasons, and that takes time. she hopes the lights will be back on in willow glen and beyond soon enough. >> there's one that i know of in willow glen that had 3000 customers out yesterday. today it's down to 900, so we are trying to restore people even in a step fashion, as quickly as we can. >> neighbors hoping for the same
6:05 pm
in san jose. dustin dorsey, abc seven news some. people who lost power went to a hotel where things went from bad to worse. >> their cars were broken into at 630. you will hear from them. >> third and mission streets in san francisco remain closed while p-g-and-e's investigates a vault fire. the san francisco fire department says they responded to reports of heavy smoke coming from underground just before 2 p.m. they determined it was an underground electrical equipment fire. fire officials are telling people to stay away from that area as they work on the repairs, so seek alternate routes. christopher high school in gilroy was vandalized last night in what appears to be a racially motivated incident. gilroy police confirmed three people broke in just before midnight, ransacked classrooms and wrote hateful graffiti on the walls. a parent called abc seven news about this crime, telling us the graffiti included the n-word. the parent says multiple posters of former president barack obama were ripped down. police say this incident is being investigated as a hate crime.
6:06 pm
governor newsom is doubling down on his effort to stop violent crime in the bay area. 120 additional chp officers will head to parts of the east bay, especially oakland. that's a 900% increase in chp officers in that area. they will help with traffic stops, recovery, stolen vehicles and patrolling the hegenberger corridor corridor near the oakland airport. we spoke with abc seven news insider phil matier earlier today. he says the chp has more power to make a difference. >> the chp is not bound by oakland rules and that's a quiet little unspoken deal here. when they're on the ground with oakland cops, they can do things that oakland cops can't do. >> 2023 crime statistics show violent crime in oakland increased more than 20. robberies went up nearly 40, and car thefts rose 45. >> there are new concerns being raised about the plan to build a new city in solano county.
6:07 pm
>> now, the issue is the security of nearby travis air force base, an abc seven news i-team reporter, stephanie sierra, is here with the latest on this story. stephanie. yeah, this is the latest of many concerns raised as we've been covering over the past year. >> tonight, we're taking a closer look at what congressional leaders say are key problems with california forever's plan to build a new city. it's the first time we're getting insight from inside travis air force base about potential impacts to their operations. as we've heard a lot about this new proposed city in solano county, it will be smaller than vacaville, smaller than vallejo, everywhere. >> there is actually a mix of uses. >> we have enough water. >> this was all part of california forever's pitch to voters. last month, ceo jan sramek revealed a ballot initiative detailing what it would all look like, including his vision and goals. thisg bel was to make sure that it would be a great neighbor to travis. >> we knew that we had to protect the base. >> congressman john garamendi is raising new concerns. that's not happening. >> if this city is ever built as
6:08 pm
proposed in the initiative, travis air force base will be in deep existential trouble following a meeting with high ranking u.s. air force officials , garamendi says travis air force base is concerned because the coordinates for this new city are directly beneath flight zones. >> if built, he says. critical training for combat missions, also known as sorties, would be impossible to do right now 120,000 times a year on average. >> travis air force base conducts night vision sorties as though they were operating in a war zone, having to land on a contested air base that would be impossible if there's a city, because of the ambient light from the city. >> commercial community development, ceramic released these maps last month showing the security buffer around the base seen here in light green. >> he says it's nearly doubled in with the orange on this map. >> we are also locating the community 100% outside of the noise contours and outside of
6:09 pm
the accident potential zones. >> but this map obtained by the i-team shows a different perspective. the proposed new city is pushing into the military space designated for radar patterns and airspace. seen here. colored in turquoise and green, the map also shows two red dots labeled museum and creed, where sources say those critical training operations take place. those locations are bordering the city's blueprint. garamendi says that would interfere with practice for combat missions. also known in the military as daytime sorties. >> their daytime sorties, practice sorties would be directly over a good portion of that city where they fly at a high altitude, descend very, very rapidly to 503, make a very tight turn onto a very short runway. they will not be able to do that. if that city has ever built. >> this wasn't a problem until now, in part because the land that borders the base has always been zoned for agricultural use,
6:10 pm
so the only witnesses to these practices are mostly cows, sheep, and endless miles of grazing land. we reached out to california forever about these concerns and received the following statement saying california forever's top priority has always been protecting and supporting travis air force base. that's why we carefully chose a location for the new community that fully complies with all regulations that address the impact of air flight operations on land use around the base. now, the question is, will plans change now? schrameck announced last month they hope to permit solar farms in the area surrounding the base. at least seven other military bases across the country have gone solar, but garamendi says solar panels in that immediate area would pose a reflection hazard to pilots landing at the base. so there are strong opinions on both sides. >> okay, keep us up to date. thank you stefan. thank you. >> and if you have a story for the i-team, you can call this number on your screen. 188840 i-team. or just go to abc7 news.com slash i-team. >> still to come on abc seven

6:42 pm
including tom mcclintock from the central valley, broke ranks and voted against impeachment. mayorkas would have become the first cabinet member impeached in more than 100 years. this comes as a bipartisan bill on border security and immigration appears to have collapsed. now, not surprisingly, there is a lot of finger pointing. >> we got a supplemental funding proposal with immigration provisions. it's not a border security bill. it doesn't do anything of the sort. >> all indications are this bill won't even move forward to the senate floor. why a simple reason donald trump, former president trump has criticized the bill and rallied republicans against it. >> the senate is expected to take a procedural vote tomorrow. >> we are expecting more rain tomorrow. sandy lays out the timing for that, and the rest of the seven day forecast next

6:49 pm
>> his high school coach, preston jones, says any play he would draw on a whiteboard. brock would be able to execute. he's a servant leader. >> i mean, he's there for his teammates. he's there for his family. he's there for his friends. and that's that's who he is. and, uh, it's hard not to get behind a guy that's like that. >> being a leader is the reason brock went on to lead perry high school to runners up in the state championship, while also winning arizona high school player of the year in 2017. but it wasn't just his footballing skills. his teachers say his humility and focus is why they knew he would be destined for success. >> sometimes kids will complain like, oh, i got to wash the dishes, whatever had to get done, he would just do it. no complaining. you know, just whatever. help the class, whatever helped his team. like he did it in his second year in the league, brock has a chance to help the forty-niners win their first super bowl in 29 years. >> to celebrate the game, it's brock purdy spirit week at school. >> this is, um, an entire week dedicated to supporting one of

our own. >> hoping this once smiling kid in class can become a super bowl champion. ryan curry, abc seven news. what a great story. >> that good attitude and work ethic in evidence. still, right now it's nice to hear such good things about him. yeah, he seems like a great guy. another great guy, a sports director. larry biel live in las vegas tonight. larry >> but questionable work ethic, right? can can patrick mahomes, can brock purdy actually beat patrick mahomes on sunday? we'll hear from the 40 niners on that. and also one nfl analyst who is absolutely fed up with the purdy slander sports live from vegas is next

6:54 pm
to super bowl sunday. look patrick mahomes is flat out spectacular. and he's the primary reason the chiefs have been in the big game three of the past four years. as for brock purdy, this is going to be his very first time. this is all brand new to him, but if you look at his regular season statistics, purdy has been off the charts. he actually leads in so many categories. it would take too long to list all of them, but he has been up and down in the playoffs. it's hard to know exactly how he's going to react to the pressure on super sunday. the niners, they're confident in their quarterback. i've been fortunate enough to be able to call plays for a long time, and i've been in a lot of different situations, but having brock, um, it's been a lot of fun. >> i mean, you could feel it last year, just each game i got more comfortable with him seeing what he could do and how aggressive he is. and sometimes guys are aggressive. you get a little too aggressive, and then all of a sudden you get them in trouble and you got to pull it back. and. but brock's been pretty impressive with that stuff. >> how can i play my best brand of football for this
6:55 pm
organization and my teammates? >> um, that's what the ultimate goal is. and that's what i like. i understand that and, um, obviously with the media and all the stuff going on in the outside, you get a lot more attention than you ever have probably in your life. um, and that's okay. but i got my family and friends that text me just like normal. um you know, and i got really good teammates around me. so i keep it simple. and i understand that when i step on the field, it's about playing football more than anything. >> the biggest thing is his consistency is the fact that he's gone out there each week and just proved it. and done it. um, i mean, there's no faster way to earn our trust, uh, than for us to see it. >> now, there's this national narrative going on that brock purdy is merely a game manager, is a system quarterback denigrating his skills. one espn analyst, louis riddick, strongly disagrees. >> these people will do. jim nastics in their mind, trying to cut him down. but the fact of the matter is objectively, the stats say he's one of the best
6:56 pm
quarterbacks in the nfl, if not the best. and if he wins this super bowl, i can't wait to see how people twist themselves into a pretzel trying to diss credit what he did. i cannot wait. i'm going to get my popcorn and i'm going to sit back and watch them twist it, because it's going to be hilarious. if he wins, i can't wait either. >> love lou riddick since we're in vegas, we have a's. news. the mayor of vegas, carolyn goodman, came out today and said the a's plans to build a stadium at the tropicana site. don't make sense, and the team should stay in oakland. goodman went to on say the a's would not be a strong fit here, unlike the golden knights and the raiders, who have both been widely embraced at abc, seven sports, sponsored by your northern calif honda dealers. before we go, before we go, i have a feeling we're about to win $1 million. chris alvarez, come on, big money is going to hit the jackpot. big money. come on, come on. how are we doing, chris? not great. hit it again. hit it again in. >> we won. >> this could be it.
6:57 pm
>> where's the confetti? >> where's the money? never mind the confetti. do we get a cut? nothing. nothing? nothing oh, this is so disappointing. classic vegas. oh, man. >> dan, you were about to be the new sportscaster. >> well, we had it all planned out. oh, well, let's try it again. imagine that. >> we went to vegas and we lost. >> who? who who does that happen to? yeah. come on, chris, odds of that. all right. that sounds good. that sounds good. yeah. this is just no disappointment. then keep hit that button. >> hit that back to us at 11. >> i won 34 bucks. >> us. >> all right. for all of us here . we appreciate your time. i'm dan ash, i'm ahmad tsay at 11. dan ash, i'm ahmad tsay at 11. who's got.
