Prosecutors said they have reviewed 600 pieces of evidence and interviews with 60 witnesses so far.

that led to the death of a Jewish man during dueling protests in Thousand Oaks because prosecutors lack evidence to justify the charge, the Ventura County District Attorney announced on Friday, Nov. 17.

The charges include a special allegation that Anjali personally inflicted great bodily injury on Kessler, which if found true could elevate the two felony charges to strikes on California’s three-strikes law, Nasarenko said. He noted Kessler had injuries to the left side of his face. Kessler’s death drew national headlines and left the local Jewish community in fear as it occurred in the midst of rising tensions in Southern California over the Israel-Hamas war.

Nasarenko said his office did not file a murder charge because it’s believed Alnaji did not intend to kill, harm or injure anyone that day.
