Loay Abdel Fattah Alnaji pleaded not guilty to all charges stemming from a deadly confrontation that happened at dueling rallies in Thousand Oaks in Nov. 2023.
A Southern California college professor pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges that stemmed from a deadly physical confrontation that happened during dueling protests over the war in the Middle East in late-2023. Loay Abdel Fattah Alnaji, 51, was charged with felony involuntary manslaughter, felony battery causing serious bodily injury and a special allegation that he personally inflicted great bodily injury on Nov.
During an information arraignment hearing in May, Superior Court Judge Ryan Wright judge declared after a two-day preliminary hearing that there's enough evidence to try Alnaji. Among that evidence was DNA analysis of blood that was found on the megaphone, which Alnaji is accused of using to strike Kessler. 'The blood evidence is a match to Mr. Kessler,' said a statement from the Ventura County District Attorney's Office.
