security turnstile. they say the turnstile failed just before the 9.11 remembrance. and now he's suing the city to get his job back. kron four's ken wayne has the story. >> put on the list with felons and and murder. and it's the same list, ok for tsa culture. spurlock doesn't want to show his face on camera because he's concerned it could be blacklisted by airlines because his airport security badge has been revoked on september 9th 2021, just 2 days before the 20th anniversary of the 9.11 attacks, the alaska airlines aviation mechanic was stopped at the employees, security turnstile, one trying to go to work at sfo. >> he used his biometrics security badge to pass through, but it didn't work on. his first attempt started through and then the turnstile froze up and locked up. >> so came back. i tried it again. i use my bad jen fingerprint like exposed to it gave me the green light now on through. and that was the violation. they said that we

had spurlock says he was accused of trying to circumvent security by trying to go through again after the turnstile froze. so what they did is they pulled my badge, astounds me from working at basically every airport that you need. a side of stands for security identification display area. the san francisco city attorney's office responded by saying spurlock, quote. >> tampered with the secured access point which violated airport rules. the airport had previously warned employees that this type of conduct posed an unacceptable security threat, ensuring the safety and security of the airport is paramount. the decision to revoke their security badges is clearly warranted. and within the airports, discretion, the airport followed all necessary procedures. we look forward to discussing this matter. further in court emotionally, it's just been a roller coasters. the coalition used overwhelming air power to defeat a brutal dictator. >> and free a nation spurlock has been an aviation mechanic ever since his service in the air force during the first gulf war working on military

aircraft. >> and holding a top secret clearance. by all accounts, he has an unblemished record and 20 years of work with the airline. not at any point was security jeopardize into the end of the day. the entire incident was a function of the faulty turnstile, which is the responsibility the airport to maintain alaska airlines and the mechanics union have tried to resolve the situation to no avail. we had our attorneys write letters airport commission. it was just a complete storm. all the timing couldn't have been worse for spurlock. i just had a baby and i was going to start my baby bonding leave 2 weeks after this happened, the has since found aviation work. but earning less than before. i was also eligible the right tire for alaska. 55, i just turned 55. so i wasn't able to retire. but i lost my health insurance. they basically took everything spurlock and his union say they think sfo and the tsa overreacted. i don't

understand why the authorities at sfo are taking such a hard line on this and basically ending an individual's it scenes spiteful, it seems emotional and it doesn't seem rational. and the only thing that we're guessing are trying to figure is that it was because it was close to 9.11. >> so they're trying to make a point. >> it was ken wayne reporting. we're going to take a break coming up on the kron 4 morning news. the alexis gabe documentary has officially what her family says now that what her family says now that they've seen .

gate bridge is 37 down to the tolls. is back to you. thanks a lot, 31 and the big story that we're following the east bay. 35 death penalty cases in alameda county. >> are being reviewed because of allegations of racism in the justice system. kron four's terisa sauce here. talk with a legal expert who says this could have. >> huge ripple effects. >> maybe what happened here is that these people were deemed to be opposed to the death penalty. and that's how they got away with removing people based on that city on wednesday, legal experts weighing in on the bombshell dropped by alameda county district attorney pamela price. >> that a federal judge has ordered the review of 35 death penalty cases after these scribbled notes were discovered while examining an appeal for this man, ernest, a 51 year-old was convicted and put on death row for the 1995 killing of 9 year-old lance clark and attempted murder of his grandmother. price says that the notes suggest prosecutors may have blocked

female black and jewish potential jurors from serving on trials. from is a criminal law professor at uc law. san francisco. >> this is probably just the tip of the iceberg. because there were a lot of bats and shenanigans going until california tightened its laws and what could happen next is not only could these death verdicts be set aside, but the entire case could be set aside. and some of these individuals may be given a new trial in its entirety. >> stephen clark is a former santa clara prosecutor and now defense attorney and legal analyst. while the death penalty cases are under the microscope, both a legal analysts say that there has been sweeping changes in the past couple of decades, making jury selection more transparent. there's been a tremendous evolution and how jury selection is you have to have a legitimate reason for removing a juror. >> and you have to articulate that reason to the court. if

asked. >> so we are no suspicious of removals of people on the basis not just of race or gender, but a bunch of other categories like religion, nationality. you know, a lot of other things. and moreover, when the prosecution has to provide a reason, it can't be a silly reason. it has to be a reason that stands like that. that makes some common sense. >> but legal experts say that it could take years before the truth is revealed on whether or not there was misconduct conducted in these death penalty cases in alameda county in the newsroom to recess stasio kron. 4 news. >> 33 is the time and the long anticipated documentary on the alexis gabe murder case has finally aired. that at the time. 23 year-old woman was from oakley and went missing in january of 2022, her partial remains were found near sacramento months later, gabe's family and friends and members of the community gathered at sabrina pizzeria in oakley to watch the documentary together for the first time last night. the

protecting them, some things you do might do more harm than good. oh, my gosh. >> all right. i got to get back out on the kayak because that's the best way, you know, from the distance see them. and the weather's been windy, which is choppy, right? and that's difficult to roll out there. going to come down and enjoy, know you can see the flipper dogs again. when it comes they are. but we're and out at the coastline right now, it is a little choppy out there for sure. we're going to have some winds picking up later on today. >> and a brisk wind at that out of the north and west replacing yesterday's mcgee southern wind. so at least we opwon't be as humid. but we are going to be breezier for sure. a look at radar right now does show peeks of sunshine between what is overall fairly overcast morning. you can see that there are showers directly to the north and west of us. this part of a cold front associated with this low pressure area that is going to dive in across the region tonight into tomorrow morning as it does. so winds will pick up. temperatures will cool down. but this low is going to trend a little further inland.

and that means us in the bay area are actually going to be right at the edge of any sort of rainfall potential from it. whereas northern california, the sierra see some rain and even snow fall. the bay area literally just a sprinkle or 2 tonight into tomorrow. you see that reflected in future cast. not a lot going on here. as for what we have in the sierra few inches of snowfall. this is not a big snowmaker. don't be canceling any plans over, little bit of slick conditions tonight into tomorrow. up there. temperatures today upper 50's at the coast and then 60's elsewhere. very much. feeling day, albeit a little brisk, especially towards the coast with that cool northwest wind. so i would keep the jackets close at hand. san jose, you'll be at 67 today. fremont through oakland and berkeley. all at 64 while conquered antioch, napa, fairfield among spots, barely getting up to 70 degrees. temperatures tomorrow are going to be even cooler. that's the cold front for you right there. and with the conditions to lingering into tomorrow. the rest of the

weekend calms down a whole lot saturday. cool, sunshine and we keep that cool. sunshine around into next week right now. all right, john, thank you for that old tracking in accident in the city right along northbound 101 south of that 2.80, connector right there. a little slow along 2.80, like patches of delays along 101 this morning. >> not the only highway seeing delays. if you are going to be traveling into the city right now is a little busy. 17 minute ride of the bay bridge. thankfully, the access we had earlier, no hazards here and there on average pay cleared. 22 minutes along the richmond, sandra fell ridge. you typically are as busy as we've been there for most of morning. 23 minutes before antioch, into conquered. checking on. 24 right now on a creek down to 5.80, just it's 16 minutes. and let's take look at things traveling along 5.80. if you are going to be hitting that, that's about 30 minutes north down 8.80, silly up to oakland. little lighter. 25 minute right there. darya james, back to you. thanks. a

>> the giants got 2 impressive wins over a really good mets team over the past couple of days and wednesday, they look for the series sweep, but because some tough news a few hours before the first pitch prize free agent blake snow placed on the 15 day. within the doctor stream. it's been a rocky start to snell's 10 year and is sounds like he could be out way longer than just 15 days. he was set to start all wednesday, but obviously he couldn't so they had to go to a bullpen game. top of the 3rd francisco lindor came into this series struggling mightily, but he broke out of it. all wednesday. he takes on jelly deep. it's 2, nothing. mets lindor hit 2 home runs. the mets build a 6, nothing lead in the 7th tyler fitzgerald. it's the giants on the board with this first homer of the season. but it wasn't enough. giants fall. 82. they take 2 of 3 from the mets. but after the last most

people still had questions about the lake snow. he was there to answer some of them. >> this week's even during the ball some adjustments so. change my focus to >> the giants have the day off later tonight. but big news, san francisco forty-niners in the nfl draft niners pick 31st will have full coverage from the draft all night long. that's a look at sports. all right. thank you, jason. well, like he said, the nfl draft

tonight. let's talk a little more about that because one of the big story lines we're following is the fact that forty-niners legends jerry rice. >> and frank gore both have sons that are waiting to hear their names called. we'll see if that happens. this draft has a lot of college players with nfl bloodlines. but let's start with jerry rice's son brendan, a wide receiver at a pretty great season with usc. >> he'll probably make them a mid-round choice. and then here you have frank gore junior. he played at southern miss. he's a running back like his dad. he's projected to be a later round picks. there's a litany of other names to ed mccaffrey. sunless is coming off a pretty good season at rice. course, we know other christian become a powerhouse for the forty-niners and perhaps the biggest legacy name in the draft. >> is marvin harrison junior receiver like his famous dad and the younger harrison is likely to go in the top 5. that's the odds on favorite to happen. and with all this prime nfl dna up for grabs, forty-niners general manager john lynch says he is pretty excited by it all.

>> there some inherent pressure on who their dad is. but there's also some good genes and and, you know, and i think that was out here at the local pro day and his son to rika, you know, performed really well. and that was that was pretty cool. and you could i saw him running at me and i played against, you know, a lot. and there were some in that stride that was very familiar, that it was it was something about the gate and it's crazy how those things translate. you know, it's is that just shameful is that modeling that they watch their dad? you know, it's just it's interesting to me. and but it's a fun. element to this year's draft that and i think is it's going to be interesting to watch to see how it unfolds. >> all the forty-niners have 10 picks in this year's draft. and for the first time since 2021, they'll have a first-round pick. there are spots. 31, most people think we'll probably use that to draft an offensive lineman. so we shall see. >> we'll be right back.

>> the plan fully reopen. it was always the reopened we're going anywhere. >> oh, in case you haven't heard horn barbecue is back in oakland least coming back. the owner says they're going to be opening a new location after that devastating fire. 5 months ago. we covered it. there's the video. the new location will actually be part of his other restaurant. maddie's in downtown oakland, the grand opening of the new
