In an ominous sign for four other criminal defendants, a Newport Beach physician is due back in an Orange County federal courtroom after an appellate court reversed a judge’s dismissal of his charges.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals determined April 23 that U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney erred when he dismissed Jeffrey Olsen’s 34-count indictment because of the court’s pandemic-related ban on jury trials, sharply rebuking a constitutional stance that had become somewhat of a crusade for Carney.

Both the prosecution and the defense made opening statements Monday at Orange County Superior Court in Santa Ana in the often-delayed murder trial of a man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend in Huntington Beach.
Jason Becher of Anaheim, now 46, is charged with first-degree murder with the special circumstance of lying in wait in the death of Marylou Sarkissian. She was 50 when she died just after midnight on Dec. 2, 2016, at her home on Litchfield Drive, when prosecutors allege Becher entered her house, strangled her and beat her to death.
With the addition of the special circumstance, he could face life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.
