AlCo's new DA hits the ground running by rescinding a handful of ousted DA Price's policies on day 1 including a provision that required prosecutors to seek approval before adding certain enhancements to charges including gun enhancements. More on https://t.co/FNUjixhyLP @KPIXtv

@KPIXtv "Our theory is that our client stood his ground & used the amount of force necessary to make sure he wasn’t hurt and he didn’t sustain serious body injury or death and he did that’s our theory," Momeni's attorney said. They stopped short of suggesting Lee stabbed himself. @KPIXtv

NEW : Defense for Momeni plans to argue that Momeni redirected the knife used in Bob Lee's fatal stabbing. An expert tapped by the defense said in sworn testimony that Lee's wounds are "consistent with someone performing a defensive hand maneuver" while Lee held knife @KPIXtv

[laurenetoms @laurenetoms]

The expert, a family practitioner and former county medical examiner from FL, said it is possible Momeni redirected a knife in Lee's hands to push it back on Lee. He also testified that the prosecution's theory that Momeni directly attacked Lee is possible. @KPIXtv

[laurenetoms @laurenetoms]

We’re outside the courtroom where prosecutors and defense attorney’s for Nima Momeni — accused of fatally stabbing tech exec Bob Lee last year — are continuing pre-trial hearings in a closed session. We expect hardships for jury selection to begin soon. @KPIXtv

I'm back!! Four months of a hacker, I've been restored. Looking forward to bringing reports on the SF mayor's race, a high-profile murder case, and much more from across the bay. Thank you to the @CBSNews, @KPIXtv and X tech teams for your help getting this restored.

We will not stand for this vile racism and hate. Seeing someone spread this hideous message is a sobering reminder of the racism that sadly still exists in our society. The SFPD will assist @SheriffSF in finding whoever did this and bring them to justice.

VERDICT A-COMIN'

[London Breed @LondonBreed]

In the first year since launching the Homeless Engagement Assistance Response Team
(HEART), we've made significant strides toward a more compassionate, effective approach to addressing the challenges faced by our unhoused residents. HEART teams have responded to over 80% of 311 and 911 calls related to unhoused individuals, helping nearly 300 people weekly with resources like shelter, public benefits, and medical care.

San Francisco is setting a national standard for community-based safety and support. Let's keep building on this progress to create a sater, more compassionate San Francisco for all.
Thank you to all the dedicated practitioners at HEART.

Your commitment and personal stories are crucial to this initiative. Your hard work supports those in need and keeps our city safer, allowing police to focus on critical issues.

Steve Kerr just went for more than 5 minutes on his love for Draymond Green because he’s a flawed human, how his actions can be detrimental to his career, and how he changed the last 3 months of the season.

@KPIXtv SF’s lawsuit seeks injunctive relief to immediately stop usage of the infringing new name & seeking an order declaring Oakland has infringed on SFO’s trademark, requiring Oakland to destroy or transfer all physical & digital materials containing the new name, & damages and fees.

BREAKING: The city of San Francisco is suing Oakland over their proposal to use “San Francisco Bay” in the title of OAK airport citing trademark infringement @KPIXtv @SFCityAttorney

[laurenetoms @laurenetoms]

@KPIXtv The airline using OAK’s revised name appears to be Sata Azores airline @KPIXtv

[laurenetoms @laurenetoms]

@KPIXtv SFO Airport Director Ivar C. Satero says the renaming “will have a detrimental impact on the passenger experience, creating confusion and frustration for travelers, especially those from foreign markets. For these reasons, we support this legal challenge.” @KPIXtv

[laurenetoms @laurenetoms]

At least one airline has already begun using the proposed name, according to SF city attorney David Chiu. He says the revised name of “San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport” will very likely lead to widespread passenger confusion and avoidable travel mishaps. @KPIXtv
