Oh No, Ed Jew!: We're Back!

We're bummed we were out of town for all the ins and outs of Ed Jew's preliminary hearing -- but thanks to SFist Jer for covering it for us while we were gone! So today's latest? Ed Jew is going to stand trial. That is, Judge Harold Kahn found that the DA had enough evidence for the case to be presented to a jury, Next court date: August 20, presumably to set the trial date.

In other Ed Jew court news, Ed Jew's father worked out a deal where he wouldn't have to testify despite receiving a subpoena from the DA, and Ed's lawyer says "Ed has not yet begun to fight." We shudder to think what this trial's going to be like if he's not fighting now.

And what's with all these other Ed Jew situations coming out of the woodwork? Someone on the Berkeley rent board may actually live in Oakland, and a LA councilmember purporting to rep the gritty Inglewood actually lives in a gated community in hoity-toity Brentwood. Why on earth would you want to represent an area you don't live in? Do you just love reading proposed legislation and sitting through public comment sessions that much?
