Authorities Reviewed 600 Pieces of Evidence Before Charging Suspect in Paul Kessler’s Death – HotAir

Authorities examined 600 pieces of evidence and spoke to 60 witnesses before charging a college professor with two felonies for allegedly causing fatal injuries to a Jewish protester during a dueling pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian rally this month in California.

Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said Friday at a news conference that the investigation into the death of Jewish protester Paul Kessler, 69, was complicated and ultimately led to felony charges of involuntary manslaughter and battery causing serious bodily injury against Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji, a 50-year-old Moorpark College computer science professor.

“Our task was to search for the truth and to achieve clarity in this case, and that is what we have done,” Nasarenko said. “This was not an easy undertaking, given the disparate, often-conflicting interpretations and statements, and also the fragmentary nature of the evidence.”
