Ventura County Superior Court Judge Ryan Wright declared Wednesday there was enough evidence for a trial against Moorpark's Loay Abdel Fattah Alnaji. The D.A. alleges Alnaji bludgeoned to death counterprotester Paul Kessler, and he is being charged with involuntary manslaughter.
A Ventura County Superior Court judge declared on Wednesday that there was enough evidence to hold for trial a Moorpark man accused in the death of counterprotester Paul Kessler last year. Judge Ryan Wright decided that Loay Abdel Fattah Alnaji, 51, would stand trial after listening to 18 witnesses over a two-day preliminary hearing, according to the Ventura County district attorney's office.
The site had been known as a gathering point for pro-Palestianian groups protesting Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip in response to the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas. Kessler, 69, carried an Israeli flag and joined a group of counterprotesters. In total, about 100 people were at the intersection. A “physical confrontation” broke out between Kessler and Alnaji, in which Alnaji allegedly bludgeoned Kessler with a megaphone, according to the district attorney.
