MADERA - The former prosecutor in the Dustin Gran murder trial is now awaiting his own trial for prosecutorial misconduct. A criminal complaint has been filed in the Madera County Superior Court against former Madera County Deputy District Attorney Edmund Gil. The one charge of misdemeanor forgery was filed by the California Attorney General's office out of Fresno.
This case stems from two motions filed in the superior courts by attorney John Garvin, lead counsel for the defense in the Dustin Gran murder case. Garvin alleged judicial misconduct in his May 2, 2013 motions against the Madera County District Attorney's Office, which included mishandling of evidence.
