here today is that california operates two systems of justice. one for the rich and one for the poor. >> today, at the state capital, a debate over california's bail system heats up with the vote on a bill that would ultimately help defendants who can't afford bail. good morning, everyone. it is tuesday, april 18. i'm michelle griego. >> i'm kenny choi. california could be one step closer to making those changes. jessica flores reports. >> reporter: today state lawmakers will consider a major overhaul of california's bail system. the reform bill goes before a state public safety committee today and if it eventually becomes law it would eliminate the requirement to post money to get out of jail. the big would essentially require courts to release defendants without bail while awaiting trial on misdemeanor crimes. under the plan, judges could keep defendants in jail if the person is a flight risk or risk to public safety. supporters of the bill say the

current system punishes the poor, who often can't afford bail. this call this system a debtor's prison. >> we shouldn't have a system where your detention is based on your income. and the allegations being made that that's the system we have. >> opponents of the bill say it is similar to the controversial new jersey plan where there have been reports of offenders committing crimes while out on free bail. the bill doesn't completely eliminate the bail system. under the proposed law judges would make the final decision in each waste. if it moves forward a vote is expected in june. jessica flores, kpix 5. on storm watch now, we are starting our day with more soggy weather. hi-def doppler is lit up in some areas. you can see the green there. roads are slick this morning and sandra osborne has more on the traffic report. but first, roberta has a check on how long you will need windshield wipers. >> we have a half inch of rain overnight and now we have low

level moisture that heavy drizzle so grab the umbrella out the door this morning. we are picking up some showers in the santa cruz mountains but that frontal boundary is due east of the bay area but again, it looks like we have raindrops on the camera lens looking out from the transamerica pyramid from the heavy drizzle. temperatures mild now into the 50s. meanwhile, our winds speeds are under 10 miles per hour but once we pick up the wind that will blow the fog that's been developing out of the bay and out of the coastal areas. meanwhile, these winds will be pretty consistent and persistent later today out of the south and southwest 10 to 15 miles per hour. here's the front and it is slicing to the east. behind it here is the core of the center a lot of instability associated with that as it breezes through the bay area this afternoon. sparking a random scattered shower and even the potential of an isolated thunderstorm. so we keep our eye to the sky today. 60s and 70s around the peninsula. temperatures in the south bay

at 70 in san jose, 70 also in pleasanton and danville and blackhawk and tassajara. low 70s towards brentwood tracy or wood and discovery bay. 70 in fairfield back through vacaville. north bay with that breeze to 15, 60s at the immediate seashore. in stinson beach. to the high 60s in napa and in sonoma and mostly cloudy skies this afternoon with that chance of an isolated thunderstorm in cloverdale. one more storm after this one and then temperatures near 80. we'll have that full forecast coming up. >> we have several incidents on the road this morning including one in the maze causing slowdowns. finally in the clearing stages. so we are seeing some improvement there. according to chp, they still have the westbound 580 to eastbound 80 connector closed but it looks like that's opening up so we are keeping an eye there. we were seeing a lot of red on our sensors , but we are seeing

some improvement. an earlier crash on eastbound 80 on the bay bridge has been cleared but right now you can see the line as you head toward the toll plaza there to go on to the carquinez bridge to the maze will take 20 minutes this morning. and a rollover crash has one lane blocked northbound 280 at page mill road so we'll keep an eye on it. you can see the 280 still slow . today president trump will head to wisconsin to visit a tool factory and sign an executive order called buy american hire american. this comes as white house continues its tough talk on north korea and its nuclear ambitions. overnight in japan, vice president mike pence offered

h1b visa program a program that allows american companies to hire overseas employees. and the white house says today's executive order will prioritize the hiring of america workers over foreign labor. president trump's trip to wisconsin comes as the new poll shows a majority of americans no longer believes he keeps his promises. this month 45% of those surveyed said they think he does. that number has dropped since february when 62% said they thought president trump keeps his promises. the so-called "calexit" campaign is being dropped as the vice president of the yes california campaign is withdrawing the ballot measure. the proposal called for california to secede from the rest of america. the movement got extra interest during the presidential election. the group gathered nearly 100,000 signatures. but measures need more than 580,000 signatures to reach the

ballot. the push for a vote isn't over. a new group called california freedom coalition says it will file a similar ballot measure in coming weeks. sentencing begins this morning for two drifters who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the deaths of two people in the bay area. drifters morrison lampley and lila alligood could face life in prison. a third drifter involved in the murders sean angold took a plea deal and will be sentenced for second-degree murder. their crimes in 2015 made national headlines. they shot and killed a canadian tourist as a group camped in golden gate park and days later they moved to marin county where they shot and killed steven carter on a hiking trail near fairfax. prosecutors say that the victims' families signed off on the plea deal to bring closure in the case. they have been invited to speak during today's sentencing hearing. right now, a manhunt is under way for the ohio man who allegedly shot and killed an elderly man then posted a

gruesome video of the incident on facebook. the search area now includes at least five states including southern california. so far there are no credible sightings of steve stephens. this morning facebook is vowing to do better when it comes to taking videos off their site. the social media giant responded to this recent incident in a blog post spelling out the timeline of how long it took to get the video down. organizers continue to dismiss reporters' repeated questions about the video. >> unfortunately i can't comment about that. we are here to ballpark about f- 8. >> the live streaming service has been used to stream torture and sexual assault live. requesting to expand next the number of jobs a sonoma casino could add if it gets the green light to add 200 room hotel. >> here we go again. some lingering showers across the bay area. then one more storm to go before we hit 80 degrees. i'll tell you which day that's going to happen. >> plus, we have several

incidents to talk about this morning including this one. for those of new marin traveling toward the golden gate bridge, we'll have all the details coming up in just a bit. >> plus, in our tech report, how snapchat is responding to a lawsuit that claims the company's ceo says the app is only for the rich. >> closed captioning for this newscast is sponsored by "living spaces." ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

of a thunderstorm that and the core swings in from out over the pacific ocean. watch our futurecast. lunch hour a little hint of clearing. partly cloudy during the late afternoon hours and then we'll start off with partly cloudy skies for your wednesday. but by lunchtime, we start to see the clouds thicken across the north bay and here comes the rain overnight wednesday to thursday. by the time it hightails it out of here, we'll have a tenth inch of rain throughout most reporting stations a little heavier to the north, .05" in the san jose area so after today, one more storm before we clear out. this could be the end of that extreme rainy period. nearly 70 state capital with rain showers. 62 monterey bay. 45 high sierra with rain today a. raining on the south shore right now. 50 spring-like skiing and boarding on wednesday. our sun-up at 6:29. i think we'll see a hint of sunset tonight with the
