Ex-L.A. Deputy Mayor Raymond Chan urges a judge to declare a mistrial in his bribery and racketeering case, citing his attorney's unexpected hospitalization.
Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Raymond Chan has asked a federal judge to declare a mistrial in his federal corruption case, saying his attorney is no longer medically capable of representing him in the case.
Braun has been Chan’s lawyer for about four years. He fell ill just over a week into the trial, prompting the judge to order a three-week delay in witness testimony.Prosecutors accuse former L.A. Deputy Mayor Raymond Chan of shaking down developers as another federal trial opens in the sprawling City Hall corruption scandal.
Pratt lacks the legal expertise to safeguard Chan’s constitutional rights, in a case that could result in “decades of imprisonment,” he said.
