A rally will be held at 12pm on Tuesday, November 1st in front of San Jose City Hall (200 E. Santa Clara Street, San Jose, CA 95113) to protest delaying tactics by the City of San Jose in the case of the killing of Bich Cau Thi Tran. The City of San Jose has filed a Notice of Appeal in Tran v. City of San Jose. A trial date had originally been scheduled for November 1, 2005, and it was later rescheduled for December 2005. The delaying tactics by the City of San Jose may effectively deny the Tran family their day in court for 18 months to 2 years. Members of the Coalition for Justice and Accountability, or CJA, demand that the City of San Jose negotiate in good faith with the attorneys for the Tran family and allow justice to be heard by agreeing to a trial date in December of this year. CJA formed in 2003 following the death of Ms. Tran and has advocated for justice in the Tran case and for changes in police practices. Read more
