Judge Postpones Arraignment In Xinran Ji Defendants' Case
A judge postponed the arraignment of three defendants charged in the beating death of USC graduate student Xinran Ji.
The arraignment was postponed while the District Attorney's office decides whether to pursue the death penalty for the two adult defendants, Jonathan Del Carmen and Andrew Garcia.
A preliminary hearing has also been scheduled to decide whether Garcia should be regrouped with the other three defendants. Garcia was assessed for mental competency after an outburst in court. A committee has since declared him fit to stand trial.
Rose Tsai, an attorney representing the victim's family said they are hoping for justice.
ATVN reached out to the defendant's attorneys, but they declined to comment on the case.
The arraignment has been rescheduled for May 14th.
