states can use a lethal injection drug blamed for some botched executions. in a 5:4 ruling the court said it is not cruel and unusual punishment to use the sedative midoxalam. the three drug cocktails. the drug was used in three states last year and raised concerns that it failed to put inmates in to a coma-like sleep. the majority of the justices rejected the argument that the drug can cause excruciating pain. but descenting judge sonia sote meyer called it being burned at the stake. the high court ruling could ultimately put executions back on track in california. since 2006 state and federal courts have blocked california from using its three-drug execution method. but officials recently agreed to put a single drug up

for approval. still, it faces lengthy legal challenges before executions can resume. a bay area teen set on fire on a bus. now a new twist in the case. the surprising reason a judge is showing mercy to the teenaged suspect. >> criminals cashing in on your warriors pride.

the most abusive on scheduling, lack of workers getting enough hours to feed their families was coming from the large retailers. many of the local medium sized and smaller retails were actually following better practices. we expect this will be probably the law of the land in many other cities in california and maybe even our state very soon. >> he says other cities are looking to san francisco's law when drafting versions of their own and this could prompt some retailers to change policies chain-wide instead of developing one and then the other for the rest of the state. they worry this could prompt retailers to leave the city all together. we reached out to half a dozen of the affected retailers and san francisco chamber of commerce. they all declined to comment. a statewide version of the bill has already been introduced by now assembly member david chu. he introduced this back when he was a supervisor. >> one of the components is you have to pay people if they're on call.
