BREAKING NEWS: Medrano Pleads Not Guilty
Former Gardena City Councilman Oscar Medrano appeared in court for the first time since his arrest last week. The story up on dailybreeze.com is just a quick update. Expect a bit more details in the story for tomorrow's
newspaper.
Torrance attorney Gary Eto, who represents Medrano, thought it would be unfair to his client to allow cameras in the courtroom. He told Torrance Superior Court Judge William Beverly that the more this case is in the media, the more the jury pool would be tainted. Beverly agreed to allow Breeze photographer Brad Graverson and his camera, but denied requests by all but one of the local television news stations.
