.GOOD
.GOOD EVENING. THANKS FOR JOINING US TONIGHT. I'M BARBARA LEE EDWARDS. I'M CARLOS
SHIKATA. THIS STATE SAYS IT
EXPECTS TO HAVE GUIDANCE ON
THE REOPENING SOME BUSINESSES
NEXT WEEK. NOW THAT WE'RE OFF
THE WATCH LIST BUT THAT DOESN'T
MEAN IT WILL NECESSARILY HAPPEN
RIGHT AWAY. MEANWHILE, TWO
ADDED 14 NEW CASES WERE
CONFIRMED OUT OF NEARLY SIXTY
EIGHT HUNDRED TESTS. THAT'S A
POSITIVE RATE OF ABOUT 3
PERCENT. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF
CASES IS THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND
THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX FIVE
NEW DEATHS BRING THAT TOTAL TO
SIX HUNDRED THIRTY EIGHT. MORE
THAN THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE
HAVE RECOVERED NEWS AIDS
BRANDON LEWIS LOOKS AT HOW
GUIDANCE FOR REOPENING COULD BE
STRUCTURED AND WHERE WE'RE
HEADED NOW THAT WE ARE OFF
THE LIST. CARLO AND BARBARA LEE
OFFICIALLY DIG TWO OFF OF
THE STATES WATCH LIST IN OUR
CASE RATE CONTINUES TO HOLD
BELOW THAT ONE HUNDRED
THRESHOLD TODAY WE TAKE A LOOK
AT WHERE CASES ARE STILL RISING
AND WHAT'S AHEAD FOR OTHER
INDUSTRIES. THE COUNTY'S CASE
RATE REMAINS BELOW 100 FOR
THE EIGHTH STRAIGHT DAY BUT A
DATA DELAY AT THE STATE LEVEL
MEANS IT'S ONLY DAY TWO OFF
THE WATCH LIST. COUNTY
OFFICIALS PRAISED THE WORK OF
RESIDENTS HELPING TO DROP
THE RATE FROM ITS PEAK OF 158.
ABOUT A MONTH GO. THE GOAL IS
TO KEEP IT DOWN AND TO KEEP IT
BELOW. AND THIS IS NOT A FINISH
LINE WE'VE CROSSED. IT'S MERELY
A WAYPOINT IN THE MARATHON
AROUND CORONA VIRUS. TOTAL
CASES ARE UP 6 PERCENT. COUNTY
WIDE ON A ZIP CODE LEVEL
THEY'RE INCREASING FASTEST AND
THOSE THAT INCLUDE MCI OR D
POTRERO AND RAMONA. WHILE
THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF CASES
REMAINS IN THE SOUTH BAY, THEY
ARE RISING SLOWER THAN
THE COUNTY AVERAGE OFFICIALS
CREDIT OUTREACH CAMPAIGNS AND
INCREASED TESTING. WE DON'T
WANT TO UNDO THE PROGRESS WE'VE
MADE AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT AS WE MOVE INTO THE NEXT
PHASE OF WHERE WE GO THAT WE DO
IT CAUTIOUSLY. WE DO IT
RESPONSIBLY AND THAT WE KEEP
OUR CASE COUNT DOWN. GETTING
OFF THE WATCH LIST ONLY AFFECTS
SCHOOLS. ALL CAN REOPEN WITH
DISTRICT APPROVAL SEPTEMBER 1ST
IF OUR CASE RATE REMAINS LOW.
THE COUNTY IS WAITING ON NEW
INDUSTRY GUIDANCE TO FULLY
REOPEN SOME BUSINESSES.
GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SAYS
THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON
DRAFTS. WE'LL BE SOCIALIZING
THAT MORE FORMALLY OVER THIS
WEEKEND WITH OUR LOCAL HEALTH
OFFICERS AND WE'LL BE MAKING
PUBLIC NEXT WEEK. THE DETAILS
OF OUR STRATEGIES AS IT RELATES
TO REOPENING WHEN WE SEE
THE DATA STABILIZED. BASED ON
NEW CRITERIA, NEW CONDITIONS
THAT WE'RE SETTING FORTH AMONG
THE HANG UPS IS HOW QUICKLY TO
REOPEN SOME U.S. AND COUNTY
EPIDEMIOLOGISTS SUGGEST A
STAGGERED REOPENING THAT MAY
SHIFT FROM A 14 DAY TO 21 DAY
WINDOW TO BETTER STUDY AND
CATCH OUTBREAKS. YOU NEED TO
HAVE THAT 14 DAYS AND THEN AN
EXTRA WEEK TO DO THAT. ANALYSIS
TO LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE. SO
THREE WEEKS IS A REASONABLE
TIME PERIOD TO ASSESS AND LOOK
BACK WHAT'S HAPPENED WHERE WE
ARE NOW. OF COURSE IT'S
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT
THE CASE RATE IS DYNAMIC AND IF
IT GOES ABOVE 100 FOR THREE
CONSECUTIVE DAYS THEN WE GO
BACK ON THE WATCH LIST AND OUR
COUNTDOWN STARTS ALL OVER
AGAIN. CARLO AND BARBARA LEE
THANK YOU, BRANDON. AND TONIGHT

TRULY. THANKS SEAN. LOCAL CAL
FIRE STRIKE TEAMS ARE BATTLING
FIRES UP AND DOWN THE STATE
TONIGHT AS DRY HEAT. POWERFUL
WINDS AND LIGHTNING COMPLICATE
THEIR EFFORT TO TAME
THE FLAMES. WE HAVE SEVEN
THOUSAND FIREFIGHTERS ON THESE
FIRES RIGHT NOW. THE SITUATION
THEY SAW UP THERE OVER THE PAST
FOUR DAYS HAS REALLY BEEN
SOMETHING WE DON'T SEE A WHOLE
LOT. IT'S A LOT OF DRY
LIGHTNING SITUATIONS AND NOW
WE'RE WE'RE TRYING TO TRY TO
PLAY CATCH UP AND GET THESE
FIRES OUT. THE BLISTERING HEAT
WAVE BEARING DOWN ON US FOR A
SECOND WEEK IS ONLY
COMPLICATING THEIR EFFORTS.
CHRIS MARTINEZ PICKS UP OUR
COVERAGE FROM LOS ANGELES. HIGH
WINDS, TRIPLE DIGIT
TEMPERATURES AND THOUSANDS OF
LIGHTNING STRIKES ARE HELPING
TO FUEL HUNDREDS OF WILDFIRES
BURNING ACROSS CALIFORNIA TEN
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND
FORTY NINE LIGHTNING STRIKES
ALONE JUST IN THE LAST NUMBER
OF DAYS. THIS OUT-OF-CONTROL
WILDFIRE IS TEARING THROUGH
VACAVILLE CITY LOCATED BETWEEN
SAN FRANCISCO AND SACRAMENTO.
IT JUST SO FAST, SO FAST
THE FAILURE INCINERATE AT LEAST
50 HOMES AND OTHER STRUCTURES.
BUT OFFICIALS EXPECT THAT
NUMBER TO GO MUCH HIGHER. WORST
PART OF IT BY FIRES. MAKES 14
FIRES IN SIX YEARS.
THE VACAVILLE FIRE IS AMONG
SEVERAL FIRES BURNING IN
THE SO-CALLED EL AND USED
LIGHTNING FIRE COMPLEX THAT
SCORCHED MORE THAN FORTY SIX
THOUSAND ACRES. FIRES MARCHING
ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA'S
WINE COUNTRY ARE ALSO PART
COMPLEX WHERE THOUSANDS ARE
UNDER EVACUATION ORDERS. SMOKE
IS CAUSING A HAZE FROM SAN
FRANCISCO'S ALCATRAZ ISLAND ALL
THE WAY TO THE SACRAMENTO
VALLEY TO THE SOUTH. ANOTHER
SET OF FIRES SPANNING FIVE
COUNTIES HAS CONSUMED NEARLY
EIGHTY SIX THOUSAND ACRES. IT'S
A TOUGH DAY TO DAY RESOURCES
ARE STRETCHED THIN BUT CREWS
FROM ARIZONA, NEVADA AND TEXAS
ARE COMING IN TO HELP. THE 2020
FIRE SEASON IS OFF TO A ROUGH
START. SO FAR THIS YEAR
CALIFORNIA HAS RECORDED ABOUT
20 700 MORE WILDFIRES COMPARED
TO THIS TIME LAST YEAR. CHRIS
MARTINEZ, CBS NEWS, LOS
ANGELES. TODAY WE'VE LEARNED
THAT A CAL FIRE HELICOPTER
PILOT WAS KILLED IN A CRASH.
THIS MORNING OFFICIALS SAY
THE HELICOPTER WAS ON A WATER
DROPPING MISSION WHILE FIGHTING
THE HILLS FIRE. THAT'S IN
FRESNO COUNTY WHEN IT WENT
DOWN. THE NTSB IS NOW
INVESTIGATING A DEADLY CRASH
NEAR THE SAN DIEGO AIRPORT THIS
MORNING. THIS ONE HAPPENED AT
ABOUT TEN THIRTY ON HARPER
DRIVE NEAR LAUREL STREET.
POLICE SAY THE DRIVER OF A BLUE
SEDAN CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF
A PICKUP TRUCK AND THEN SLAMMED
INTO A LIGHT POLE. HE DIED AT
THE SCENE. THE DRIVER OF
THE PICKUP WAS NOT INJURED.
POLICE ARE NOW INVESTIGATING
WHAT LED UP TO THE CRASH AND
THEY'VE NOT SAID WHETHER DRUGS
OR ALCOHOL MAY HAVE PLAYED A
PART. WE'RE HEARING FROM
SEVERAL MORE VICTIMS SPEAKING
OUT AGAINST THE GOLDEN STATE
KILLER BEFORE HIS SENTENCING
THIS WEEK INCLUDING ONE OF
THE YOUNGEST VICTIMS WHO WAS
ONLY 13 YEARS OLD. THE CRIME
SPREE BEGAN NEARLY 50 YEARS AGO
SPANNING FROM SACRAMENTO TO
ORANGE COUNTY NEWS. IT'S
HEATHER HOPE HAS MORE ON
TODAY'S EMOTIONAL STATEMENTS.
YES, FOR THE SECOND DAY IN A
ROW WE'RE HEARING IN DRAMATIC
DETAIL. VICTIMS DESCRIBE
THE HORROR AND THE DAY THAT
THEY SAID THAT GOLDEN STATE
KILLER CHANGED THEIR LIVES AND
THE LIVES OF THEIR LOVED ONES
FOREVER. SOME EVEN BROUGHT
LETTERS AND PROPS WITH THEM TO
DRIVE HOME THEIR MESSAGE. I
WANT YOU TO LOOK AT ME. JANE
CARSON SANDLER WAS VERY DIRECT
WITH 74 YEAR OLD JOSEPH
D'ANGELO KNOWN AS THE GOLDEN
STATE KILLER. YOU SHOVED YOUR
KNIFE INTO MY NECK. YOU BOUND
MY WRISTS AND ANKLES IN A
SACRAMENTO COURTROOM. SANDLER
DESCRIBED THE TERROR FROM HER
ATTACK IN 1976. BUT YOU ALSO
DID THE SAME TO MY PRECIOUS 3
YEAR OLD SON. HOW DARE YOU THEN
YOU REPEATEDLY THREATENED TO
KILL US A COUPLE BOB AND GAY
HARDWICK SAID AND I'LL ATTACK
THEM IN 1978 WHILE THEY WERE
SLEEPING AND HE RANSACKED THEIR
HOME. HE FROM MY REFRIGERATOR
AND HE DRANK TWO BEERS. GAY
HELD UP THREE CLEAN SHEETS OF
PAPER TO DEMONSTRATE HER LIFE
CRUMPLED BY D'ANGELO. MY LIFE
WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES
SPOKE ONE BY ONE. WELL, I
SURVIVED BUT THE NIGHTMARE
BEGAN THAT NIGHT HAS NEVER
ENDED. D'ANGELO ADMITTED TO 13
MURDERS AND MORE THAN 50 RAPES
DURING A CRIME SPREE FROM 1975
TO 1986 SPANNING 11 COUNTIES
FROM SACRAMENTO TO ORANGE
COUNTY. OF THE 87 VICTIMS, MARY
BURWOOD IS ONE OF THE YOUNGEST
AT 13 YEARS OLD NOW 54. HE
RAPED ME. HE STOLE MY
INNOCENCE, MY SECURITY. SANDLER
EVEN WROTE A BOOK TITLED FROZEN
IN FEAR DETAILING MY JOURNEY.
SHE BROUGHT HER FRIEND BONNIE
COLWELL WHO WAS ENGAGED TO
D'ANGELO A 19 70 BEFORE
BREAKING IT OFF. WHEN YOU
THOUGHT YOU COULD KIDNAP HER
AND FORCE HER TO MARRY YOU EVEN
A GUN POINTED AT HER FACE COULD
NOT MAKE HER CHOOSE YOU.
SURVIVOR SPOKE OF THE SHOCK
THAT D'ANGELO, A VIETNAM WAR
VETERAN AND FORMER POLICE
OFFICER WHO INVESTIGATED
BURGLARIES, WAS THE GOLDEN
STATE KILLER. ONE PERSON CHANGE
ALL THESE LIVES. ATTORNEYS READ
OFF STATEMENTS INCLUDING VICTIM
ADVOCATE LAURA VALDEZ ON BEHALF
OF THE MULTIPLE VICTIMS OF YOLO
COUNTY SHOUTING ORDERS WITH A
FLASHLIGHT AND A GUN IN HAND.
MANY VICTIMS TOLD D'ANGELO. HE
DID NOT TAKE ALL THEIR POWER. I
MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF YOUR
VICTIMS, D'ANGELO, BUT YOU KNOW
WHAT NOW I AM A SURVIVOR.
SHRIVER THIS SENTENCING HEARING
IS EXPECTED TO PICK BACK UP
TOMORROW GOING UNTIL FRIDAY
WHERE THE GOLDEN STATE KILLER
IS EXPECTED TO FACE HIS
SENTENCE OF LIFE WITHOUT
THE POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE.
