have been convicted of first degree murder but didn't kill anyone to get their sentences reduced. a long tim ago [pkg] [sound of family, etc] the family and friends of adnan khan could not contain thier excitement today as he walked out of jail a free man after nearly sixteen years [sot-adnan khan]i didn't know how to put these clothes on. seriously. wen i was the deputies the family and friends of adnan khan could not contain their excitement today as he walked out of jail a free man after 15 years. >> i didn't know how to put these clothes on seriously. when i was putting my clothes on, the deputies in there were like hey, are you done and i'm like no. i'm still figuring out the belt. >> reporter: in 2003 then 18- year-old khan agreed to help three people rob a marijuana dealer named kevin mcnutt. >> there's another man that mr. khan had just met a few days before and unfortunately this man was seriously schizophrenic and he was having a delusion at the time and he ended up stabbing and killing mr. mcnutt. >> reporter: even though khan was shocked by what the other

man had done, under california law khan was legally responsible for the murder and he was sentenced to 25 years to life. while he was in jail he worked with other activists to change that law and last year the governor signed a new law saying only an actual killer or major participant in a murder can be guilty of first degree murder. also the bill is retroactive and khan says he's learned a lot in prison. >> believing like the goodness in yourself, i think i believe that was taken away -- i took that away from myself growing up and once i rediscovered that i matter and i have value, i think that's the biggest thing that i take away from my experience. >> reporter: khan's mother says while the old law was unjust, she's just happy to have her son back. >> whatever happened, we just leave it behind because he is out here now. >> reporter: now it's hard to know exact numbers, but khan's attorney tells us there are about 800 people in prisons

>> the staff, they felt almost ashamed this happened under their watch. they made sure they tried to lose as little alecoend th for turned around as fast as they did. >> reporter: kpix5 first uncovered problems back in september including the revelation a subcontractor installed more than 1,000 pieces of used equipment, routers and servers that formed the communications and security backbone of the new rail line. the vta said all that used equipment was removed and replaced by the end of last year. the transit agency is now set to begin early testing for the design and construction for the final leg of the extension that will take b.a.r.t. into the heart of downtown san jose and out to santa clara. >> so excited about it. if that could bring us more customers and more customers to downtown san jose, that would be great for me, for us, for our business. >> reporter: because all of the downtown b.a.r.t. stations will be underground, construction crews will drill down 150 feet below the street

to collect soil samples. the vta says these initial tests should not be too disruptive, but commuters say they just want that project on track and on time. >> i could use it now if it was there because a lot of times i'll be coming from fremont trying to get to palo alto. that would be the perfect connection to the caltrain. >> reporter: here's how the vta's new timeline will work. they say they hope to have all the construction and testing on their part done by the ends of march. they will han the system over to b.a.r.t. including those new stations in milpitas and here in san jose. b.a.r.t. will have an additional six months of testing before the first trains and riders start rolling on that system. in san jose, devin fehely, kpix5. >> thank you. the high surf warning ended > t today, the high surf warning ended about an hour ago, but

da? >> reporter: both sides provide evidence to back up their story. the question is which story makes sense and who do you believe? the jogger says she's the innocent victim and she wants the district attorney to file charges against a dog owner who bit her. bitten by a dog owner = i asked her to call the dogs because they were rushing and circling says when is. >> i thought she was trying to kill me. i thought oh, my god, i'm going to die out here. >> reporter: cindy stainer gets emotional thinking about what happened earlier this month. she was jogging in the oakland hills and came across two dogs and their owner, alma cadwalader. >> i asked her to call the two dogs because they were rushing me and circling me and she didn't. >> reporter: cindy said when the shepherd husky mix nipped at her shorts, she pepper sprayed the dogs. >> miss cadwalader started screaming obscenities at me, what did you do to my dog? >> reporter: cindy started jogging away hoping to deescalate the situation. she said minutes later on her way back to the car the 19-year- old dog owner hit her in the head, pushed her to the ground

with her face on the dirt and tried to take the pepper spray. she said when she wouldn't let go, the teen bit her. she said it lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds. >> she was literally latched to my arm, i mean latched to my arm. >> reporter: the dog owner released this video of her dog with a swollen eye. her attorney says cindy was the aggressivor and attacked alma. she said alma bit cindy in self- defense. >> miss strainer grabs her by the hair and starts kneeing her in the groin attacking her and as she has my client's hair firmly in her grip, my client bites to get her to release. >> reporter: cindy says that's a lie. >> probably more than anything is i want a public apology from her for attacking me physically and then maligning my name. >> reporter: cindy is a nurse at kaiser and a handful of her co-workers came to the interview today to defend her character saying that cindy is

a trustworthy person. by the way, police arrested the dog owner. so far the d.a. has not filed any charges against the teenager and cindy's attorney says if the d.a. drops the case, they may file a civil lawsuit against the teen. live in the oakland hills, back to you. >> thank you. oakland teachers banded together and called out sick today, this while the school district and teachers union remain deadlocked on pay raises. today's sickout wasn't a union sanctioned events, but organizers say this is just a preview of what a strike could look like. according to education officials, they might vote to strike within the next month. aside from pail raises, pay raises, the union wants smaller class sizes. >> we're all here because we believe our students deserve the best. >> before another sickout last month the school district said

teachers will face disciplinary action and they will be docked pay for calling in sick. coming up next the lessons elon musk is learning about the auto industry. >> tesla is about to lay off workers by the thousands, why it could make for a lower cost for customers who have been priced out. >> reporter: today i have the incredible fortune of stepping into some pools that some people have waited 3 1/2 years to enjoy. others, frankly, thought this day will never come. i will show you what's going on at harvon hot springs on the eve of reopening, that story coming up. don't miss the grand opening of the new floor & decor

just go away. >> we've been through this and we know how hard it is to get started and again took us three years even to get to this point. >> reporter: so if you come back, the fire really is still all around you. >> hundreds of thousands of trees were lost in this canyon, maybe a million. >> reporter: but some of the trees that burned are still very much alive. harbin, like the land itself, is a collision of what was lost and what has come afterwards, and every guest that returns will have to stop for a moment and sort all of that out for themselves. >> i'm sure there's going to be, since we experienced the same thing, our sense of loss, but it's going to be tempered with being able to slide into the warm waters again and just experience that sense of peace. >> reporter: harbin reopens tomorrow, but only for the days. if you're coming up here, you'll need a reservation because they can only handle so many people, but after 3 1/2 long years you can now come back here and get in the water. in the hot pool at harbin hot
