California college professor to stand trial in death of pro-Israel protester last year
VENTURA, Calif. (AP) — A judge decided Wednesday that a Southern California college professor will stand trial for involuntary manslaughter and battery in the death of a Jewish counter-protester during demonstrations over the Israel-Hamas war last year. Superior Court Judge Ryan Wright judge declared after a two-day preliminary hearing that there’s enough evidence to try Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji, according to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office. A preliminary hearing requires a lower burden of proof to move forward, compared to the “beyond a reasonable doubt” needed for a conviction during a trial. Alnaji, 51, is accused of striking Paul Kessler with a megaphone in November during a confrontation at an event that started as a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Thousand Oaks, a suburb northwest of Los Angeles. Kessler, 69, fell backward and struck his head on the pavement. He died the next day at a hospital.
