Macon trial goes dark until Tuesday

The trial for three men charged with the deadly shooting of 20-year-old Edward Griffin will go dark until Tuesday to give lawyers a chance to review new evidence in the case, court officials said Thursday.
Deputy District Attorney Lisa Rogan gave the lawyers for Patrick Shaun Macon, Marsean Lamont Macon and Norris Anthony Crawford a stack of police interviews, reports and other documentation Thursday morning, before the trial proceedings got underway.
San Bernardino gang officer Travis Walker had been scheduled to resume his testimony today, after the court cut short his testimony Wednesday following defense objections.
But after a short sidebar between the lawyers and Judge Ronald Christianson, the judge asked the jury to return Tuesday.
San Bernardino Police say the three defendants were in a red Saturn that pulled up to a car containing Griffin and another man on Feb. 9, 2007 at the intersection of Ninth Street and Medical Center Drive, on the city's Westside, prosecutors said.
Gunshots were fired into the victim's vehicle, killing Griffin and wounding the other man. Unbeknownst to the suspects, police were nearby on an unrelated traffic stop and gave chase.
