of our mission here at abc seven. and that's why we have team coverage on the topic tonight. >> abc seven news insider phil matier is here to give us some big picture perspective on this. but first, we want you to hear from abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn with details on what the mayor is proposing here. suzanne. >> so, dan, this proposed curfew would not apply to restaurants, bars or event halls. supporters say the proposed curfew could help crack down on people who gather outside retail stores or smoke shops late at night and engage in drug related crimes. this is what the tenderloin looks like during the day. >> the daytime is relatively safe for people that are working here and living here. >> many people say the tenderloin looks dramatically different at night. mayor london breed wants to impose a curfew on some small businesses selling prepackaged food or tobacco products between midnight and 5 a.m. that would affect convenience stores and smoke shops and part of the tenderloin. the curfew would impact this area between o'farrell and mcallister from polk to jones. some say when people gather outside certain
6:01 pm
tenderloin businesses that stay open late, there's trouble. san looper is with the tenderloin community benefit district open air drug markets. >> they will see open air, resale markets. and they're often coalescing around places that are open. and so that's not always the merchants fault. >> as part of the proposed curfew, a $1,000 fine would be imposed for every hour. the business stays open past midnight. we talked to edna rahmani, the owner of underground gift and smoke shop, on weekdays. he closes at 10 p.m, so i was not worth the headache for me to open late. rahmani agrees with the mayor's proposed curfew for business to open late, like 3:00, 4:00 in the morning. >> i don't think that's a good idea, because the only people going at this time at the street, people looking for trouble. >> one corner store employee tells me. restaurant workers and kitchen staff often stop by late at night, and a curfew would
6:02 pm
impact customers. david blood of the tenderloin can relate. >> i was a cab driver. i used to come home and i was so grateful for them to be open. >> blood doesn't think a curfew is the answer to curbing drug related crimes. >> to me, that it seems like, like a cruel, a cruel sort of crackdown on somebody that's not responsible for that. >> the mayor released this statement today about the proposed curfew. this is an idea for the community from the community. the drug markets happening at night in this neighborhood are unacceptable and must be met with increased law enforcement and new strategies. and the proposed curfew still needs to be voted on by the sf board of supervisors in mid-may or mid june. supervisor dean preston, who represents the tenderloin, is requesting a list of impacted stores. he says the legislation, quote, must be highly targeted to be effective and it's important to make sure small business owners are not punished unnecessarily. live in the newsroom suzanne fawn, abc seven news. >> an adjustment for them. suzanne, thanks very much. >> all right. so abc seven news insider phil matier joins us now. phil, is this just going to
6:03 pm
chase the bad actors into other neighborhoods, though? >> it might it might, but the point is, in this area, this is highly visible not only to local residents who, by the way, were the ones that asked for this. this didn't come out of the mayor's shop. this is a result of community meetings. so one, it's for them. two, it's to make the place look better. and three, let's be honest about it. where is the most photographed place in san francisco right now? when it comes to bad images? the tenderloin. so they say if the moths are going to gather around a light at the middle of the night, turn off the light and maybe they'll go someplace else, but it won't be what it is right now. >> great way to express that. well suzanne touched on it in her piece. >> what about people who work odd hours, who get home work, swing shift, and they depend on the convenience store to go? >> you're absolutely right. >> fair to them. >> but in policing and politics and policy, you never have a perfect solution. you have trade offs. and the question is what value are you going to assign to something and not in this case, they say the community concern outweighs that of people who may be inconvenience or the stores
6:04 pm
loss of revenue. and just remember, it was just a couple of months ago and we're still seeing it. the ban on sales on street vendors in the mission district, in which the city said, okay, even those with permits have to go because we have to clean up the streets. and now we're hearing people say the streets are cleaner. so that's the trade off politically. it's an election year as well. so let's not forget that the timing of it all. phil. oh of course, of course it all comes together. and so the mayor is under pressure to show some results. and the key word there is show and if you don't have those people congregating at that store, then you have something to show you do. >> that's true. >> all right phil, thanks very much. >> well, whether you live in san francisco or elsewhere in the bay area, we want to make sure you get the full picture of public safety where you live. the abc seven neighborhood safety tracker gives you a wide range of statistics. you'll find it on the front page of abc seven news.com. new at six u.s. marshals arrested a man today at a san francisco jewish

6:06 pm
risk expulsion, even arrest cal. officials say the situation, while tense, is peaceful. >> if the protest doesn't disrupt university operations, that will be one situation, even if it becomes disruptive, it begins to interfere with the rights of others. the rights of students who want to attend class. and that will dictate a different kind of response. >> they say they'll watch it carefully. students, along with people from the community, are demanding that uc berkeley divest itself from all investments in companies that make weaponry and do business with israel. tensions have run high on campus for months now. last month, jewish students held a rally demanding the university enforce policies equally and ensure jewish students feel welcome as they are on campus this is the scene at cal poly humboldt. it's going to be shut down through tomorrow after police failed to remove dozens of pro-palestinian activists who

6:25 pm
anything about women selling stories, i would notify michael cohen. >> of course, what david pecker is saying on the stand is something donald trump never wanted anybody to know, that any time a damaging story came to his attention via other sources, or from donald trump or michael cohen, he was in agreement that he would catch those stories, kill them, pay the person off and make it go away. >> trump, shaking his head in court as pecker testified about a false story from a trump tower doorman in 2015 claiming trump fathered an illegitimate child with a maid at the building, pecker, testifying he ultimately bought the story for $30,000, even though michael cohen was adamant it wasn't true. prosecutors say pecker told trump that adult film actress stormy daniels had a story that could turn into a sex scandal. at trump's direction, prosecutors say his fixer, michael cohen, wired daniels $130,000. and then to hide the true nature of the payment, trump allegedly decided cohen's reimburse amounts should be

is asking for new dna testing now the people are firing back. >> abc seven news i-team reporter dan noyes obtained the court filing today and joins us with the latest. dan. >> dan and ama, the original prosecutors in the case argue there is no need for new dna testing. the scott peterson's lies about his role in his wife's death make it unnecessary. the prosecutors from stanislaus county, who actually got scott peterson his murder conviction in 2004, argued in this motion filed yesterday that there was no need for additional dna testing. peterson filed a motion and had dna testing done in 2013 and again in 2019 that was equally fruitless, wrote the prosecutors. >> i think what the prosecution is saying here to the public and to the court is we got this right. scott peterson did have a fair trial and nothing that can be done. now is going to change
6:31 pm
the outcome of what that jury decided, because the evidence was so overwhelming as to his guilt. >> the prosecution spent much of the 337 page court filing outlining how peterson repeatedly lied about his involvement in the death of laci and their unborn child, conner, and how those lies outweigh the need for any additional dna testing. >> the prosecution has taken some hits during these hearings, suggesting that they hid the ball from the defense team during discovery. and what they're saying here is look at all of this evidence that was brought forward at the trial. there is no reasonable explanation for any other killer than scott peterson. >> the document describes how a friend who didn't know he was married set peterson up with amber frey and when that friend learned peterson was married, she threatened to expose him the next day, according to prosecutors, peterson bought the boat and began planning the murder. the document also shows a pair of pliers found on the
6:32 pm
boat with the hair consistent with lacey's. the bodies of laci and conner were found in san francisco bay months later. after a strong april storm. the filing also says that before his arrest, peterson played a cat and mouse game with law enforcement changing his appearance. at the time of his arrest, he had $15,000 in cash. other people's ids and credit cards, multiple cell phones and outdoor equipment. still, steven clark believes that chances are the judge will order new dna testing. >> the fact that the court is having these hearings is very significant, and i think says a lot that the innocence project got involved in this case in the first place. they believe there's a good faith reason to at least go back and look at this evidence to make sure that the jury got this right. >> the hearing on the dna issue is at the end of may. that should give us a good indication of whether peterson's attempt for a new trial has a chance. the prosecutors also argue that lacey's family deserves the
6:33 pm
right to have this case over. they say this new push by peterson is just harassment. painful for sure. yeah, definitely. absolutely >> all right, dan thank you. thanks. >> well, if you have a story for dan and the i-team, you can call the number on your screen one 888 40 i-team. they'd like to hear from you or go to abc seven news.com slash i-team. >> recall supporters say they don't want to wait. they want an election soon to determine the fate of alameda county district attorney pamela price. they rallied today in oakland to call on alameda county supervisors to set a recall election date. they requested a meeting with each supervisor for recall. supporters say price is soft on crime and they want an election in august. >> we want her recalled. we want her recalled in the next few months and we're going to fight for that today. we're going to fight for it next week and we're going to get it done. >> alameda county supervisors plan to set a recall election date during their meeting next tuesday. enough valid signatures were submitted last week to get the recall measure on the ballot. price's supporters say she hasn't been given enough

6:35 pm
reached an agreement with the alameda county da's office. they pleaded no contest to killing blake while robbing a pleasanton home depot in april last year. blake worked as a security guard and tried to stop them. a confrontation broke out in naps, pulled out a gun and shot blake. guillory, drove away with naps and their infant child in the car. the plea deal means lori will not spend more time in court fighting for her son's justice. she wanted to avoid a trial. >> they would clothe the mannequin in my son's clothes with all the blood, and then they would play by, play every single scene over and over of his murder. >> naps will serve 19 years to life in prison for second degree murder. guillory will serve seven years for child endangerment and accessory charges, both could have faced longer sentences, but with this agreement, lori and the moss family can move on. >> the joy that it brought us yesterday to walk into home depot to that crew and tell him they didn't have to testify, and the relief and the joy to text

6:40 pm
news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains, some are also worried about privacy. residents in the plata arroyo neighborhood of east san jose love where they live, but they worry about their safety. >> we've had shootings. we've had murders, we've had, auto theft. we had tons of crime. so the quality of life issue that we need in the east valley, that's what this helping us, this is helping us with. >> this is one of the 500 flock safety automated license plate readers being installed throughout san jose. it aims to make this neighborhood safer. just like other cameras have done across the city. >> our alpr network has helped our officers catch suspects with ghost guns, drugs, stolen packages, outstanding warrants for rape and domestic violence, and even a group of teens responsible for 60 vehicle break ins. >> the cameras take a picture of the back of a car to identify the make, model, color, and license plate characters. when a crime occurs, police use the cameras to search for these identifiers to solve the case. >> these cameras make a
6:41 pm
difference by helping to identify and apprehend suspects, curbing criminal activity, and providing crime victims with a feeling of closure and justice. >> the videos retained for 365 days. that's ten times longer than most cities that use flock cameras and privacy expert mike katz worries the longer a video is kept, the higher the risk not only of the information being compromised, but for the ability of someone who has access to that to abuse it. >> and the fact is, we do not have good mechanisms of oversight that would actually review the logs of who's accessed it and what for to determine whether or not there's abuse. >> acting chief paul joseph says the cameras are never used for immigration control or other non investigatory causes that would impact privacy, he says. they're used to solve crimes and make the community feel safe, like here in plata arroyo. >> we're not afraid to go up and down alum rock avenue because our community has been fighting for these protections. and slowly but surely and financially, they've been coming

6:46 pm
>> since 2017, i've been talking with katy perry, luke bryan and lionel richie about american idol for what's now in their seventh season. through katy's various haircuts and outfits, even through covid, we all kept on the idol beat, where every year the judges critiqued and then america crowned the winner in the competition. ryan perry is coming up on the end of her idol run next month, but she is moving ahead with nothing but fond memories. >> i've learned a lot and it's been so wonderful this growth for myself personally. i'm going to utilize it in the future for all of my future interviews. like i used to shoot a little bit more off, you know, the cuff shoot from the hip, and now i, i understand, there's a lot of different dynamics and a lot of things to be considered when you're speaking. words are really powerful. i really like when you draw us in and you create this intimate moment, and if you don't give them that feedback, it's they're not going
6:47 pm
to get better because you just need a coach. and coaches aren't always peachy keen. jelly beans. i really hope whoever comes to the show continues to speak their mind constructively. that's really important for me because, like, it helps these kids sharpen up after all they've been through as a team, fellow judge luke bryan told me he'll miss katy by his side from season one. >> we're machine. i didn't really know each other to really respecting what each other does. it's been really, really fun. >> thank you for taking it to the next level. >> she's just a pro at. she's just a pro at being herself. >> how do you take advantage of your final weeks on this show? so when you leave, you leave knowing you've done everything you possibly could, just trying to stay really present, really intentional, really grateful you're the one i'm going to miss the most. are you? oh was that on camera? >> yes. >> you are the one i'm going to miss. the most. >> katie's fellow judges, lionel richie and luke bryan, have both suggested taylor swift as
6:48 pm
someone to fill the seat. katie is leaving, so taylor, if you're interested in los angeles, george pennacchio abc seven news, you can watch american idol sundays at eight right here on abc seven. >> i don't know, do you think taylor swift would be successful in that role? >> would anybody i mean, she good at anything. can she can she handle it i don't know i'm waiting for us to rename the planet. >> i know. >> so true. all right, well, can she give us some good weather? i'd like that santa. >> maybe she could do a better job than i can. uh- ama and dan. let's take a look at a live picture right now from our east bay hills. camera. you are looking at the marine layer. it is so deep you could barely see the rays of the sun. it's about 3000ft deep right now, so do expect another night of cloudy skies and some spotty drizzle. you can pretty much see the footprint of the marine layer all the way up into the north bay. all the way out towards the delta. the east bay socked in the peninsula and the monterey
6:49 pm
bay. there are only parts of the south bay and the east bay that are seeing sun right now. tomorrow you're going to see peeks of sun, a lot of cloud cover near the coast, breezy upper 50s to upper 60s like today. it's going to be below average. and then thursday still in the 50s 60s range. but by friday, i think after the morning you will see milder weather. afternoon highs will be in the low 70s for the warmest spots, and we'll do it all over again on saturday. now speaking of saturday, there is a system that's trying to get here, but right now it looks like it's going to stay well to our north. it's not going to make it so other than holding our temperatures down really won't do a whole lot for us over the weekend. as a matter of fact, you're going to see lots of sun over the weekend. so here's your accuweather seven day forecast. we'll backtrack morning clouds and drizzle tomorrow. chance of spotty showers thursday into early friday. really spotty. i mean, that's why we don't have a storm impact scale up there yet. and then sunshine and warmth returns for the weekend, but it's not going to be terribly warm. just 70s inland saturday through tuesday, 50s, 60s coast side, but very pleasant. yes,
6:50 pm
beautiful. >> all right. larry beals here with sports. i have a friend who's obsessed with iuk and really was all she could talk about at her kids birthday party this weekend. >> are we sure it's a friend? yeah i kind of. well, anyway, are. well, okay, as far as the obsession goes, the 40 daughters are obsessed with them too. but are they really thinking about trading brands in iu? what's the real deal there? plus, who's got a better introduction than this? camilla duval of the giants with the red lights and the spotlights. that is so cool. sports

but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga, like: hazy or blurred vision, so it's hard to see fine details, colors that appear dull or washed out, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. if you think you have ga, don't wait. treatments are available. ask a retina specialist about fda-approved treatments for ga and go to gawontwait.com deo for your whole body? that actually works! how do they do it? native combines the best of nature with the best of science to make a deodorant spray with naturally-derived ingredients that fights odor at the source and is clinically proven to keep stank at bay.

good evening. with the nfl draft, only two days away now, so many rumors about brandon aiyuk, the niners wide receiver. he wants a large contract extension, neighborhood of $25 million. he's the subject of a lot of trade speculation. clearly the niners don't want to trade him their super bowl window is right now before they have to pay the huge money to brock purdy. so we'll see what happens there. speaking of purdy , he's been working out with ex-ufc star caleb williams, who will likely be the first pick in the draft. purdy's rise from last pick in the draft to starter made trey lance expendable. the niners. you can't even describe how much they locked out after giving up three first round picks to move up to get lance, who was traded to dallas last season. >> yeah, we gave up a lot. we
6:54 pm
did it for, you know, reasons that that we had and motivations and, you know, it didn't work out. but thank god for mr. irrelevant. he he helped us last year. >> just i heard, you know, people talking about the amount of quarterbacks drafted and all that kind of thing. and maybe i had an effect on that. i'm not really sure, that's really what's what's gotten to me, like everyone's got their own story. and so, that's that's really all i, all i've heard and, and how i look at it, but obviously i'm a big believer in doesn't matter where you're drafted, it's what you do when you get there. you know, with that opportunity. so that's my advice to guys that are drafted day three or undrafted guys or whoever the nfl draft live right here on abc seven this week. >> round one is thursday starting at 5 p.m, followed by after the draft, we'll break it all down. rounds two and three are on friday starting at 4 p.m, so nba officials were told that the all star break allow more physical play and that just killed the 76 ers last night.
6:55 pm
today's nba two minute reports that tyrese maxey was fouled not once but twice in the final seconds. and nothing was called. knicks end up with a turnover. and ex-warrior donte divincenzo hit the game winning three for the knicks in the lakers nuggets game. another x dub. d'angelo russell got whacked in the face. i mean, this was so obvious. take another boom right there. that call was actually overturned by the replay center. they said it was incidental contact. lakers lose at the buzzer leaving lebron frustrated and confused. >> what do we have a replay center is going to go that doesn't it doesn't make sense to me. it makes no sense to me. it bothers me. >> it makes no sense to anybody. cool and crisp for the a's and yankees in new york, 51 degrees uh- paul blackburn has been awesome to start the season. first inning? not so much. anthony rizzo says. i'll show you the bronx a la bobby bonilla, a four run first inning for the yankees. they open up a41 lead. a's close the gap in

the fourth. lawrence butler high, deep. aloha to make it a one run game. but the a's in a game that went final just moments ago, come up short four three. the giants they're playing the mets tonight. they unveiled a new introduction for closer camilo duval. although maybe you want to wait until he's done in the bullpen before you turn the lights out on the catcher throwing 99 miles an hour, duval jogs out in a sea of red lights with a spotlight focused on him. the giants installed all these fancy new led lights and a bunch of speakers at oracle park in the off season, but this was their first chance to use them because duval hadn't had any home games to save until last night. but that is a super cool intro now. now every player wants it. turn the lights down. i want the red light thing. abc seven sports. sponsored by your northern california honda dealers. a one more point on brandon on that. yeah, brandon aiyuk, deebo samuel did the same thing last year holding out the niners gave him a contract just before training camp started. same thing last year with nick bosa. this is the niners strategy. wait till the end. we'll see if they get a great offer on
