2006 shooting trial delayed until December

Written by John Saiz / Patterson Irrigator

Wednesday, 13 August 2008

The trial accusing Kenneth Easily of trying to kill a Patterson teen has been postponed until December.
Attorneys expected Kris Moon of Patterson, who lost his ability to walk following a shooting in May 2006, to take the stand Monday. Instead, because the defense did not receive all the recordings of police interviews, the trial was postponed.

The case will resume Dec. 1.

The district attorney is charging Easily of shooting Kris Moon during the early morning hours of May 6, 2006, during a house party in Newman. Easily, who hails from Antioch, was 18 at the time of the shooting. Moon was also 18.

Moon lost the use of his legs because of the two bullets that entered his body.

After the shooting, Newman police reported Easily and several other men had crashed a party in Newman after failing to find a party they were looking for in Patterson.

The Newman partygoers were unfamiliar with the out-of-town teens, and eventually a dispute between one of the men and a woman at the party ensued.

Police reported that Moon told the men to leave. The men went back to their car and got a gun. Shots were then fired toward a crowd gathered close to the party on the 1300 block of Crabapple Way.

It is unclear if anyone in particular had been targeted, police said. The bullets that struck Moon were fired from at least 100 feet away, police said.

Police arrested Easily and several other men shortly after the incident.
