D.A. to Seek Open Hearing in Killing
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Santa Clara County district attorney’s office will seek an open grand jury hearing into the shooting death of a man mistaken for a fugitive parolee.
It is only the third time that the office has requested a public session. Usually, grand jury reviews of police shootings are confidential.
Community outrage followed the Feb. 17 shooting of unarmed Rodolfo Cardenas, 43, by a state narcotics agent.
