San Diego
An illegal immigrant identified two of three men Thursday from the San Diego Job Corps program as the ones who had robbed him Aug. 30.
The man testified at the preliminary hearing for the men, who are charged with robbing seven undocumented workers and trying to rob four others near the border.
All witnesses are being videotaped in San Diego Municipal Court in case they cannot be found in the event of a trial.
The defendants are Donald Tyrone Young, 22; Ruben Saucedo, 20, and William Barnes, 24. Identified were Young and Saucedo.
A 17-year-old co-defendant has been arraigned on the same charges in Juvenile Court, but he might be tried as an adult.
The defendants have been in custody, in lieu of $50,000 bail each, since their arrests two weeks ago.
