The question of whether ex-BART cop Johannes Mehserle will ever be convicted of murdering Oscar Grant may come down to whether the case is moved to Los Angeles or San Diego counties. According to the Trib, state officials have recommended those two locales to Alameda County Judge Morris Jacobson, who is expected to make his decision on where to move the trial on November 19. Jacobson had previously ruled that Mehserle can’t get a fair trial in the East Bay because of extensive media coverage and the possibility of jurors being faced with protesters each day at the Oakland courthouse.
