In San Francisco, a judge has ruled that a felon who fired into a crowd on a busy Tenderloin street in September, killing one man and injuring another, will face trial. In another case, charges against Richard Everett, a homeless man shot by police in August after brandishing a knife, were dropped when one of the officers declined to testify. The trespassing case against KJZZ reporter Alisa Reznick, arrested while documenting police activity at a Tucson protest in November, was dropped yesterday. In a significant verdict, a San Francisco jury found 25-year-old Garret Doty not guilty of three felony assault and battery charges for beating former Fire Commission member Don Carmignani with a metal rod in self-defense.
