Juries deliberating two big South Bay cases
Two big South Bay cases are in the hands of juries.
First, a jury in Torrance has begun deliberating the fate of a man accused of trying to kill a Gardena police more than two years ago.
The case against Trevon Willis, 23, of Carson was given to the jury about 1:30 p.m.
He is accused of trying to kill Officer Eric Hyde on Jan. 9, 2008 during a foot chase.
In downtown Los Angeles, jurors also began deliberating the case of Jonathan Fajardo, who is charged with the 2006 killing of 14-year-old Cheryl Green in Harbor Gateway. He could face the death penalty if convicted.
Fajardo and Daniel Aguilar are also on trial in the slaying of Christopher Ash, an associate they mistakenly believed cooperated with police investigating Cheryl's 2006 death.
Ash was stabbed to death.
