Two men, Kevonte Maurice Ridgle and Dequan Antonio Wright, are charged with the fatal shooting of Edward Anderson in 2021. They recently appeared in court for a trial-setting and a motion to suppress evidence. Defense attorney Dustin M. Gordon argued for reinstating a prior ruling, while prosecutor Jason Lianides opposed this, citing that Judge Pendergast had recused himself. Judge Kauffman noted the uniqueness of the situation, setting a ruling date for the evidence motion on September 19, with uncertainty regarding the trial date thereafter.
Nearly four years after their alleged involvement in a killing, two men accused of a fatal 2021 shooting in Vallejo are still waiting to learn the date of their Solano County Superior Court trial.
Defense attorney Dustin M. Gordon represented both men, arguing for the reinstatement of a prior ruling about suppressing some evidence in their case.
Prosecutor Lianides contended that the motion to suppress evidence shouldn't be reinstated, referencing previous recusal by Judge Pendergast and current case conditions.
Judge Kauffman acknowledged the complexity of the motion, noting that there are no prior cases that clarify the situation, setting a ruling for Sept. 19.
