John Dolan, Jose Larin-Garcia’s defense attorney, says there are two reasons why it was declared a mistrial: suspicious social media posts and an overall lack of evidence.
After seven days of deliberation in the trial of Jose Vladimir Larin-Garcia, accused of killing four people in Palm Springs, the jury said they were “hopelessly deadlocked” and the judge declared a mistrial.
Four of the six accused in the killings of Jonathan Reynoso and Audrey Moran were ordered to stand trial and details on the couple’s death that were previously unknown have come to light. Authorities claimed in the preliminary hearing that Reynoso and Moran were killed in a “drug deal gone bad.”
Nearly three years to the day, juror deliberations began at the Larson Justice Center in Indio to come to a verdict for defendant Jose Vladimir Larin-Garcia who is accused of killing four people in Palm Springs.
