Two Interesting EDCA Re-Trials To Start Next Week

In Sacramento, on Monday, 9:00 a.m., a retrial starts before Judge Mueller in United States v. Khan, No. 2:10-CR-175-KJM, a case involving drug and gun charges that ended in a hung jury last year.  Legendary San Francisco defense attorney Tony Serra represents Khan; AUSAs Jason Hitt and William Wong for the government.

In Fresno, on Tuesday, 8:30 a.m., a jury trial in Judge Ishii's courtroom begins in the Coleman police excessive force/obstruction case against Fresno Police Sgt. Michael Manfredi and three former officers.  The first trial ended in a hung jury.  See my prior Coleman case blog posts. The trial is estimated to last five weeks.
