warning in effect for the santa clara valley, which had a record low of 29-degrees last night. otherwise in the city of san jose, it will be freezing, 20 to 30s east of the bay, pinpoint now when the rain will arrive and that is coming up in this broadcast. >> all right, thanks roberta. we are learning more about what led san francisco prosecutors to charge the sheriff with battering his wife. linda yee tonight on the disturbing details spelled out in the court documents. including some powerful words from the couple's two-year-old son. >> i really don't have anything to say. sorry. [ applause ]

all right, we are going to come back to that story in just a little bit. but in the meantime, tonight a 14-year-old boy who oakland police say sexually assaulted two women is in custody. police say the suspect turned himself into alameda county juvenile hall this morning. they say both attacks happened within a half mile of each other. and in a rare move, investigators released the suspect's name because they considered him armed and dangerous. >> we strongly believe that if we did not put this information out in the interest of public safety, he would not have turned himself in. >> since he is now in custody, we are no longer identifying him because of his age. police have not determined whether the suspect actually used a gun in those attacks. well it's a commonly held belief that in a disaster at sea, the captain goes down with

his ship. but recently released recordings reveal the captain of a capsized italian cruise liner fled well before some of the passengers got off. elizabeth cook tonight explains the consequences he could face. >> the furious exchange between the coast guard and the captain schettino made it clear. with 100 people on board, you abandon the ship, expletive. schettino grossly under estimates the count and can't give a precise answer. the coast guard captain asked, my rescue officer is at the stern. go. there are already bodies, schettino. schettino replies with, how many dead bodies are there? the coast guard captain fires back, i don't know. i know of one. i've heard of one. you are the one to tell me how many there are. >> when a vessel capsizes like

that, you need to imagine the fact that every hall way is on its side and every passage way that goes from port becomes like an elevator shaft. >> an expert in law and is the cofounder of the usf journal. the captain's actions are reckless and potentially criminal is not legally obligated to give his life for his passengers. >> he doesn't need to go down with the ship, but he certainly should be in command of the situation. he should not be leaving the vessel. >> if there are women and children on board. the law doesn't specify certain groups should be led off the ship first. it was the captain's job to make sure the most vulnerable passengers were accounted for. >> if he's not doing that, that would be a dereliction of his duties under maritime law. >> so far, 11 people are confirmed dead and 23 are still

missing. it could have been much worse. >> we may be very fortunate that the loss of life is as low as it is, given the actions of the captain and the severity of the casualty of the vessel. >> schettino is under house arrest and faces charges of causing a ship wreck. they are blowing holes in the side of the vessel so divers can search for survivors. >> elizabeth cook, thank you very much. we want to go to linda yee's story about what led san francisco prosecutors tay charge his wife. >> this is unbelievable. this is completely wrong. >> this is lopez standing beside her husband denying charges. san francisco sheriff physically abused her. but now, court documents and a police investigation reveal a

marriage unraveling and a fight on new year's eve that left lopez bruised and crying. mirkarimi's arrest warrant affidavit spells out the explosive details and how lopez was afraid mirkarimi would take their two-year-old son from her. she sought comfort from a neighbor. she lives three doors away. she told police that on january 1, mirkarimi's wife came to her residence in tears and said mirkarimi grabbed her right arm causing it to bruise. madison took pictures of those injuries. in mirkarimi's arrest warrant affidavit, richard danielle said he and his partner reviewed the video and saw lopez pointing to her bruises, telling madison, this happened yesterday. two times in 2011, and this is the second time this is happening. the inspector wrote the victim, lopez, explained why she was letting the neighbor take the

picture, saying i'm going to use this just in case he wants to take theo away from me because he says he is very powerful and can do it. madison told police the fight happened when the couple and his son were driving to a restaurant. lopez asked mirkarimi if they could visit her family in venezuela. that's when he went crazy, screaming. you're trying to take him away from me. mirkarimi then turned the car around saying, you don't deserve to eat. the fight continued after they got home and involved pushing, pulling, and grabbing. police inspectors talked to a second neighbor who claimed he had been physically abusive last march and that she can sometimes hear mumbling and fighting. the second neighbor said lopez said her son saw what happened on new year's eve, saying daddy made booboo on mommy's arm. >> they both have denied any

physical abuse ever happen. mirkarimi's attorney said he is aware of arguing, but it was simply arguing. and attorney bob wagner is not happy this affidavit was made public. he said he now has no choice but to ask for a gag order because he says, quote, we keep getting ambushed from this thing. >> linda yee with that update. thank you linda. a big shakeup in silicon valley. jerry yang is parting ways with his own company. the company said today that yang is stepping down from yahoo's board. no reason was given, but the move launched a lot of speculation about yahoo's future. >> i would be surprised if there isn't an announcement soon, within a week or two, about yahoo being acquired or some sort of majority stake deal. it's hard to imagine leaving yahoo while the story was independent. >> yang helped find yahoo!.

to hurt because it's trying to break the internet and sort of stop the desemination of what to be out there. >> if passed, the bills would give content creators new powers to stop websites. the legislation is supported by the cbs corporation, parent of cnet and cbs 5. >> require u.s. internet service providers to prevend these pirate web sites only existed. >> read it is another sight going dark and craigslist and google will be posting on their home beiges, but will remain -- >> it's the law. you go to jail for anything else, show them the website for breaking the law. >> 24 hour protest won't make much of a difference. >> it's uneffective and i
