Hearing on Jalil and Herman still scheduled for Wed, June 18, 9:30

On May 22, 2008, Judge Philip Moscone signed an order allowing Herman
Bell and Jalil Muntaqim to return to New York state for their parole
hearings. They will be transported by federal marshals. All parties
agreed that the move would be temporary. Herman and Jalil waived
their rights to fight extradition back to California. They are
expected to be back in San Francisco for the beginning of the
Preliminary Hearing in the San Francisco 8 case, currently scheduled
for September 8.

HOWEVER, THE PROSECUTION IS NOW CHALLENGING THIS AGREEMENT

Arguments will be heard in court on Wednesday, June 18 at 9:30 am
850 Bryant Street, San Francisco

Meanwhile, the first of several conditional examinations of
prosecution witnesses has been postponed. The witness scheduled was
Gus Coreris who is a former SF homicide inspector and was one of the
first people at the scene at the Ingleside police station in 1971. It
is expected that the postponement is until the latter part of August
when 4 other witnesses will also take the stand.
