Peninsula beheading defendant stalemates cross examination by going nonresponsive

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 04:29:19 GMT

REDWOOD CITY — A man charged with beheading his child’s mother with a sword in San Carlos last year appeared to go into a stupor and become completely nonresponsive to a prosecutor while taking the stand Monday, prompting a judge to call off the rest of the afternoon’s trial proceedings.The bizarre occurrence immediately elicited an insinuation that Jose Rafael Solano Landaeta was putting on an act.Prosecutor Josh Stauffer insisted that it be written into the court record that as soon as Judge Lisa Novak formally ended the day’s hearing, Solano started talking again, in part to complain about how he was physically prodded during his noncommunicative bout. The spell lasted several minutes in open court and likely longer during an impromptu break during which the public was cleared from the courtroom.Before Stauffer’s cross examination of Solano began mid-afternoon Monday, the defendant was terse but responsive to defense attorney Robert Cummings’ q...

49ers’ Shanahan not about to make too much of blowout win over Jaguars

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 04:29:19 GMT

The 49ers returned to form with another blowout win over a quality opponent, but coach Kyle Shanahan handled it Monday the same way he did the others.The end result was great as the 49ers improved to 6-3. But there were plenty of mistakes to be corrected, and it’s not as if a 34-3 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars has any direct carryover to their Week 11 home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5).It was pretty much the same reaction Shanahan had after two other one-sided wins against highly regarded opposition — a season opening 30-7 win in Pittsburgh and a 40-12 victory over Dallas on in Week 5.“I thought we made a number of mistakes on offense, there was a couple of things on defense — with screens and stuff — that got through there,” Shanahan said in a conference call with local media. “We made a couple of mistakes on special teams. But when you just keep fighting and keep going, you have zero turnovers and they have four. Sometime...

Letters: Delinquent rent | Divulging RMDs | Cutting homelessness | No armchair QBs

Read more Letters to the Editor.Governments shouldn’tpay off delinquent rentRe: “Local governments should help with rent aid” (Page A12, Nov. 12).This letter writer may have good intentions by suggesting that local governments help with current rent due rather than expecting property owners to provide free housing again to solve the reported “tsunami” of eviction cases. A problem with this solution is that local governments’ help would come from using the revenue received from taxpayers either directly or indirectly. In addition, such a solution will very likely set a precedent and, in turn, the expectation by some, if not all, renters that they can live rent-free if they don’t pay rent regardless of their capacity to pay rent.Kirit ShahFremontUtilities shouldn’t seeRMDs for incomeConcerning the proposed PG&E utility tax, it’s worth noting that not all of the income shown on a tax return is...

Anderson Dam: Cost to rebuild major reservoir rises to $2.3 billion, tripling from two years ago

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 04:29:19 GMT

The cost to bring Anderson Dam, which holds back the largest reservoir in Santa Clara County, up to modern earthquake standards has increased to $2.3 billion, water officials said Monday. That’s double what was estimated a year ago, triple the price tag from two years ago, and nearly certain to drive water rates higher next year across Silicon Valley.“It’s very disturbing,” said John Varela, chairman of the Santa Clara Valley Water District, a government agency based in San Jose that owns the dam and is is overseeing the project.“The cost escalations are just absurd,” he added. “It’s like a taxi cab when you go inside for a cup of coffee and the meter keeps running and your $5 fare goes to $10 and you say ‘Wait a minute.'”In 2020, federal dam safety officials ordered the reservoir along Highway 101 between San Jose and Morgan Hill drained and its dam rebuilt to modern seismic standards. They feared its 240-foot-high earthen dam, built ...

After making recent strides, Packers run defense takes big step backward in loss to Steelers

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 04:29:19 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — For a couple of weeks, it seemed as though the Green Bay Packers had turned one of their biggest weaknesses into a strength.But the run defense issues that have bothered the Packers for much of coach Matt LaFleur’s five-year tenure have resurfaced.The Pittsburgh Steelers rushed for 205 yards and gained 5.7 yards per carry Sunday in a 23-19 victory over the Packers, who have now given up at least 200 yards rushing three times this season.“It was a combination of missed tackles, missed assignments,” LaFleur said Monday. “There were a couple times where we were playing single-high defense where it’s solo gap football and you got two guys in one gap. There were a couple times where they got us in some two-safety looks, and when you do that, you’re going to be a little bit short in terms of your front, and they took what should be 5-, 6-, 7-yard gains and they made them into explosion plays.”The Packers (3-6) had allowed a total of 130 yards rushing on 57 carries i...

Dak Prescott is on a roll leading the Cowboys. Even if he keeps it up, there will be plenty to prove

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 04:29:19 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott is on one of the best three-game stretches of his career.Even if the star quarterback keeps it up and his Dallas Cowboys keep winning through the rest of November, there will be plenty left to prove.After all, a rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles looms in a difficult December.The Cowboys completed the most lopsided sweep of an NFC East rival in franchise history with a 49-17 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday. The combined margin in two victories over New York was 72 points after a 40-0 win in the opener.It’s the division-leading and defending NFC champion Eagles who are the problem for the Cowboys. Dallas (6-3) trails Philadelphia by two games because of a 28-23 loss two weeks ago.Another second-place finish would mean more road games in January if the Cowboys make the playoffs, and they lost in San Francisco last season, again finishing short of the NFC championship game.It will be tough to catch the Eagles in the division — virtua...
