SANTA ANA (CNS) - Orange County prosecutors have been dealt a legal setback in their murder case against at least one of five defendants, including reputed Orange County Mexican Mafia chief Johnny Martinez, due to fallout from the Orange County sheriff s evidence booking scandal.
Unlike his co-defendants, Augustine Velazquez, 24, has pushed for a trial and does not want to waive any more time in the case so he will go on trial first. His trial is scheduled to begin next week.
On Monday, Orange County Superior Court Judge Patrick Donahue granted a motion to dismiss multiple gang-related charges and sentencing enhancements in the case when defense attorney Rob Harley argued prosecutors evidence from a gang expert during the preliminary hearing was tainted because the sheriff s deputy was dishonest on the stand.

SANTA ANA (CNS) - Reputed Orange County Mexican Mafia chief Johnny Martinez and four co-defendants were ordered today to stand trial for an alleged conspiracy planned and organized within state prison with smuggled-in cell phones to kill a reputed drug dealer who was targeted for not paying “taxes to the gang.
An indictment was tossed last year on issues related to evidence presented to the grand jury, but prosecutors refiled charges and the defendants were held to answer at the conclusion of a preliminary hearing that started in November and was interrupted when some of them were infected with COVID-19 during an outbreak in the jails.
