May 14th, San Francisco: Ed Rosenthal's Trial Begins
Jury selection begins on May 14th for Ed Rosenthal's re-trial. Opening arguments are likely to begin on Tuesday, May 15th or Wednesday, May 16th. Please come out and support Ed Rosenthal through his re-trial. As many of you may remember, there is a hearing on motions "in limine" on May 10 at 2:15pm. At this hearing, decisions will be made as to the evidence admissible at trial. Judge Breyer has made it known that he will follow the Ninth Circuit ruling in Rosenthal's case and prohibit any entrapment by estoppal defense. This means that Rosenthal will not be able to submit evidence that the City of Oakland had deputized him, thereby granting him protection.
