Judge rules against conspiracy charge for Hilltop Crips | Crime News - The News Tribune: against L. Hender Eugeneson, 35, but gave prosecutors the opportunity to file another charge against him by the end of Friday. Prosecutors responded by filing a single count of leading organized crime against him. He pleaded not guilty.
Felnagle’s ruling means the defendants likely will be broken into small groups for trial.
For instance, the nine defendants charged with causing a December 2008 fracas at a Tacoma Denny’s restaurant in which a security guard was beaten and shots fired in the parking lot probably would be grouped together for trial.
That would alleviate concerns about how and where to hold a trial with 20 or more defendants.
County officials have discussed renovating part of the County-City Building if holding a single trial for all the defendants became necessary. County Executive Pat McCarthy has yet to sign off on that plan, which would cost between $300,000 and $400,000."
