Agreement Reached on Moving Salcido Trial
- Share via
SANTA ROSA, Calif. — A Superior Court judge said Tuesday that both sides in the Ramon Salcido mass murder case have tentatively agreed on moving his trial to Contra Costa, San Joaquin or San Mateo counties.
Salcido is charged with the murders last April of his wife, Angela, 24; daughters, Sofia, 4, and Teresa, 1; his mother-in-law, Marion Richards, 47; Richards’ daughters, Ruth, 12, and Marie, 8; and his boss, Tracy Toovey, 35.
He also is charged with attempting to kill another daughter, Carmina, 3, and fellow winery worker Ken Butti, 33.
Public Defender Marteen Miller has successfully argued that intense publicity surrounding the case would make it impossible for Salcido, 38, to get a fair trial in Sonoma County.
