tonight from the newsroom with more reaction from today's news and his legacy. crystal. >> well, reverend cecil williams was known for leading with compassion and kindness to pursue equality for people from all walks of life. now, during the civil rights movement, he pastored and grew glide memorial church in the tenderloin, known now for providing resources and underserved to the underserved communities and feeding the homeless. he fought alongside people like angela davis and the black panthers for social justice, even if it meant jail time. he provided a lot of hope to the community, and he's known around the world for his impact. >> and even though cecil was 94 and he lived a long and beautiful and impactful life, nothing takes away that sting of knowing that he is gone. and i think that is what we're holding any one who knew cecil will recognize that. and this is something that people around the city and around the country and around the world are going to be feeling. >> mayor london breed shared this photo on x, formerly twitter, writing growing up,

there were members of the african american community that inspired us to dream and to serve, and cecil williams was at the top of that list. cecil mentored generations of san francisco leaders, many of us emerging from the most difficult circumstances. as a young girl, i would have never dreamed i'd grow up to work with him. we all benefited from his guidance, his support, and his moral compass. we would not be who we are as a city and a people without the legendary cecil williams, a loss felt not only here in the bay area, but around the world. glide leaders say that his family is on their way to san francisco if they're not already here. julie. mike. >> yeah. his kindness, his love, truly bringing everyone together, always opening that door at glide for everyone out there on the streets to come in. true, san franciscan lost today. crystal thank you. >> thanks, crystal. well, we have spoken with cecil williams many times over the years in our coverage of glide events. ktvu jana katsuyama spoke to williams at length in 2019 as he was celebrating his 90th birthday and starting to ease back from

his responsibilities at glide. >> on this corner of ellis street, light seems to find its way into the dark corners of people's lives. >> we always talk here, glide about making things better, touching each other's head and heart, and at the heart of glide memorial church in san francisco's tenderloin has been reverend cecil williams and his preaching unconditional love. what we see is a people that needs love, a people that need also to say to each other, i care. i will be with you. i'm not going to give up on you. never, never, never opening his church to all through the civil rights movement and rallies with angela davis and the black panthers fighting for justice, even if that's meant jail, providing hiv screenings and a welcome haven during the aids crisis, growing a church into a 10,000 member family that feeds

thousands and helps the homeless . >> he's walked with people from all walks of life, from warren buffett to nelson mandela, from maya angelou to politicians and presidents such as barack obama. >> a black history is black life , and it's a black experience. it is the human condition, he says. >> he doesn't have a special power or magic touch. >> i reach out to people all over the world. i'm not afraid of anybody. i'm just. i care, and i'm going to show i care by what i do. that's the reason i've done so much. >> and he credits his wife, janice mirikitani, poet, activist and first glide president. >> the one that took me and said to me, i'm going to make you a better human being. i'm going to make you a better man, a man some call saintly people will say to me, you just like jesus. and i'd say, yeah, well, jesus is pretty bad. my jesus. he i said, he's a revolutionary. don't you know that the guiding

light that keeps this revolutionary reverend on the go? i want everybody to know that i'm going to keep changing. i don't care what happens. i'm going to keep changing. cecil williams, he's always into something. he's always doing something. my theology, basically, it's in the doing. it's in the doing that. you know, me in san francisco, jana katsuyama, ktvu, fox two news and we will continue to follow more reaction in the city and around the nation to the death of cecil williams. >> we will have more coverage coming up on the news at 730, as well as the 10:00 news today. >> the u.s. supreme court heard arguments in a groundbreaking case on homelessness. the justices will decide whether cities can fine or arrest people for sleeping in public spaces. the cases from grants pass, oregon, where people face escalating penalties for sleeping outside with a lack of shelters. a federal appeals court classified the law as

cruel and unusual punishment. advocates who rallied outside the court this morning agree. >> can you imagine anything more cruel and unusual than throwing somebody in jail for using a blanket in the middle of the freezing winter? >> some legal analysts say it appears the court's conservative majority is leaning toward a narrow ruling that would leave decisions on how to handle these issues up to elected officials. >> i heard the conservatives saying, i think that we need to leave these decisions to cities, to towns, to counties, to the elected officials, not us, not this group of unelected judges. whereas i think you saw the liberals saying, no, i'm comfortable saying i'm interpreting the eighth amendment, and this violates it. >> advocates say that in oregon, a lack of mental health and addiction resources has helped fuel the crisis. >> federal data shows homelessness is on the rise and is a national issue. according to the latest data from the department of housing and urban development, more than 650,000

people are experiencing homelessness nationwide. this includes those who live in shelters and those who live on the streets or in vehicles. that number has been on the rise even before the pandemic and is at its highest number since 2007. california accounts for more than a quarter of the nation's homeless population in san francisco. officials will be watching that supreme court ruling very closely. >> ktvu is christian, captain tells us now. it's expected to impact the city's own legal battle over how to address homeless encampments. >> the supreme court of the united states heard oral arguments over how cities manage the issue of homelessness. while the case in question came from grants pass, oregon, the case is drawing attention here in the bay area. homeless advocates marched and rallied in front of san francisco's federal court building and through the streets of the city, advocates saying the case will get to the heart of whether cities can criminalize homelessness. >> the reality is, folks are out there because they have no other choice, for almost everyone. and

it's not okay to then cite them and arrest them, because they're destitute. that is, in essence, a pauper's prison that we're creating there. and i think we've moved beyond that. >> san francisco's city attorney's office has a very different take. the city says it has laws on the book to offer compassionate care for homeless, but also to clear streets when necessary. those policies have been blocked for now by the courts waiting for a decision on this case. city attorney david chu says whether and how san francisco can manage its homelessness crisis will be determined by this ruling. >> hopefully have a much more nuanced ruling that strikes a balance between what san francisco has been trying to do, which is our compassionate approach to homelessness, but also giving us the ability to have some tools to ensure that our streets are clean and safe. >> while it's difficult to predict how the court will rule, levine says it appears the court is leaning toward giving cities more control over how they combat homelessness. >> listening to the oral argument, it seems like a

majority is likely to go there. then the judge in this in the case in san francisco, would have to be more deferential to what san francisco thinks is an appropriate way to handle the local homelessness problem. >> the united states supreme court is expected to issue a ruling on this case in late june. in san francisco, christian kafton ktvu, fox two news children are also among those living on the streets in san francisco. >> homeless advocates are now calling on city leaders to prioritize families seeking shelter. today, the board of supervisors hosted a hearing on child homelessness supervisor asha sapphire says many of these families are immigrants and asylum seekers living under gas station roofs and inside vehicles. >> this is not a conversation about those that are drug addicted or mentally ill. this is really about families with children that are suffering on our streets. they're part of our school system. they're

contributing to our economy. they're working families, they're just not getting adequate shelter and or the resources that we have to be able to house them in our city. >> the supervisor says they're still working on solutions, but right now they're looking at ways to increase shelter spaces and voucher programs. and be sure to stay with ktvu for continuing coverage of the bay area homelessness and the impending supreme court case. we have more coverage at ktvu .com and on the fox local app. >> the criminal trial against former president donald trump in new york is officially underway. and in today's opening statements, prosecutors begin with some explosive claims. while trump's attorneys provide their defense. >> also ahead tonight, a new review of a number of cases in alameda county that resulted in death penalty sentences. why the district attorney says bias in jury selection in the past may have clouded trials, and in whether a warm earth day across most of the bay area. >> but here's a live camera looking out toward the golden gate bridge. this area cooling

penalty cases is now underway. >> this is not about left or right or any kind of politics. this is about ethics. >> alameda county da pamela price says she has evidence showing former prosecutors illegally kicked off jurors from death penalty cases. >> prosecutors in the alameda county district attorney's office may have intentionally appear to have intentionally excluded jewish and black jurors from death penalty cases, she says. >> this has led a federal judge to order a review of about three dozen death penalty cases. >> my office discovered evidence of a pattern of misconduct, prosecutorial misconduct that may well impact all of the death penalty cases in alameda county. >> the allegations surfaced during a review of the case against ernest dikes, who is on death row after being convicted of murdering nine year old lance clark in east oakland in 1993 and injuring his grandmother during a robbery attempt, price said her office found these handwritten notes, which apparently show prosecutors purposefully excluding jewish and black female jurors from the

jury pool. >> this is something that's been going on in alameda for it's been it's been, the worst kept secret. brian pomerantz is an attorney representing dikes. >> he says those notes also included purportedly race neutral reasons as to why jurors were tossed. >> so these aren't notes that just are showing we don't like this juror for this reason. they it was a scheme to be able to get away with it. he provided at least one rationale as to why prosecutors may have chosen to exclude jewish jurors. there was a belief at the time that because the gas chamber was what was used in california, that jewish jurors would not want to send people to the gas chamber, pomeranz said it took price, a progressive da who ran on a platform to reform the criminal justice system, to bring these allegations to light. it took pamela price to bring this about . it should have happened in previous administrations, the attorney tells me. >> one of those prosecutors is now an alameda county superior court judge in oakland. henry lee ktvu, fox two news. >> new information now on a

stabbing of a parishioner at saints peter and paul church in north beach, san francisco. police identified 25 year old marco asauliuk as the suspect. officers responded to the church just before 1:00 yesterday afternoon. the archbishop of san francisco was there for a confirmation mass for children. police say when the man went inside the church, concerned parishioners escorted him outside. that's when he reportedly pulled out a knife and stabbed one of them in the leg. the victim is expected to be okay. church officials and parishioners say they're on edge by what happened. >> we all know that what has happened is our life has become defined by the most dysfunctional people, because there's no consequences for their behavior. >> the man was detained by parishioners until police arrived. he faces charges now of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon. >> details are now being revealed about a child predator sting operation that resulted in the arrest of 20 people, including a san jose fire

captain. officials in sacramento today said the operation involved several law enforcement agencies over the course of three days. about 100 undercover officers posing as children conducted chats with adults seeking to meet children for sexual acts as undercover detectives posed as children 13 years old and younger on various social media platforms. >> as suspects often directed. these kids to commit sexual acts and or asked for material. some of the suspects would send material to our undercover officers. suspects arranged to meet and have sexual contact with the undercover officers. >> the san jose fire captain, spencer parker, is no longer employed by the city. he is facing three felony charges of lewd acts with a child after allegedly trying to arrange sex with a 13 year old girl. >> well, today was the last day in our warm weather stretch with some 80s inland. overall, a beautiful earth day here in the bay area, but if you were coast
