Ferrer defendants held to answer on all charges

Arraignment for jury trial on June 10 at 2 p.m. in Ctrm 4. Judge Christopher Wilson said counsel had good arguments and while he saw evidentiary issues and potential problems with jury instructions, he said Juan Ferrer's actions did meet implied malice and that  use of a knife in a physical altercation was similar to bringing a gun to a knife fight.

He said Sophie Rocheleau and Nicholas Stoiber continuing to attack a disabled opponent made him decide to hold them to answer to charges filed. He said he did think a lot about these two defendants before making a final decision.
