Huey P Newton retrial postponed by one week
Oakland Superior Court postponed Huey P Newton’s retrial for the 1967 killing of patrolman John Fray. Judge Lyle E Cook ordered the delay so court employees could reproduce transcripts from Newton’s second trial, covering his bid to overturn an 1984 assault conviction and efforts to remove the grand jury indictment.

Watson found legally sane in murder trial verdict
The Los Angeles Superior Court jury ruled Charles Tex Watson legally sane at the time of the August 1969 Sharon Tate murders, clearing the way for a separate penalty phase to decide death or life in prison. The six men and six women rejected diminished capacity claims, while Watson’s dual plea and defenses hinged on brainwashing and drug use. The penalty phase was set to begin today. Also, California Senate votes to extend time for absentee ballots and voter registration ahead of the election.

Overcrowding Sparks Jail Riot at Solano County Facility
Sheriff Al Cardoza blamed overcrowding inactivity and rising costs for a Solano County Jail disturbance that caused about 3000 in damage. Nineteen inmates tipped bathroom fixtures broke windows and burned towels during a 30 minute melee while prisoners were brought to the day room for breakfast. Deputies restored order and the inmates issued verbal demands which were rejected as authorities planned to discuss issues calmly.
