SALCIDO: Taxpayers could get a price break if accused mass murderer Ramon Salcido comes to UC Irvine for state-of-the-art brain- imaging tests (B1). . . . UCI charges $6,000 for the tests but in the interests of research might charge $2,500 to scan a criminal suspect. “It could provide some useful information,” said spokesman Randy Black. UCI’s scanner has been used before by defense attorneys. One scan was said to support the idea that an accused killer was schizophrenic.
