Ed Buck’s Trial Delayed Until January 2021, and a New (Black) Lawyer Joins His Defense Team (Schiffty's big sigh of relief)

Ed Buck’s Laurel Avenue apartment apparently is still empty and on the market. But his cell at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles will remain occupied for longer than originally anticipated.

That’s because the date of Buck’s trial on two federal charges of providing drugs resulting in death of two black men and three counts of distributing methamphetamine to young black men, once scheduled for Nov. 26, 2019, then moved to Aug. 4 of this year now has been postponed to Jan. 19, 2021.

Buck, 65, is a white gay man known for his donations to Democratic Party candidates on national, state, county levels and to West Hollywood City Council members and for his successful campaign for West Hollywood to adopt a ban on fur sales. The charges against him are related to the deaths in his Laurel Avenue apartment of Gemmel Moore, 26, a young black sex-worker, and Timothy Dean, 50, also black, who had worked at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. Those deaths and other allegations that he solicited young black men for sex and provided them with illegal drugs resulted in months of protests outside his Laurel Avenue apartment and were covered by media around the world.

When his trial eventually begins, Buck will be represented not only by Christopher Darden, the black lawyer famed for his role as a prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, but also by Ludlow Barrington Creary II, another African American lawyer.

OJ approves...

Darden seems like a sincere guy, but didn’t he ask OJ to try on the shrunken leather gloves? Or, did Marcia do that? That was one of the most spectacular visual trial fails ever.

Of course...AFTER THE ELECTION!! Chhristopher Darden wasn;t very good, but he must have gone to the dark side.

This is Adam Schiff’s best buddy..supposedly there have been rumors that Schiff was seen at his West Hollywood apt many many times..Schiff knew what this scum bag was doing, he has to answer some questions about his knowledge and involvement with this guy

Ludlow Barrington Creary II,

I bet Mr Creary is thankful his parents didn’t go in for more stylish ‘black’ names.

“and were covered by media around the world”

Covered by media around the world? Do they ever stop lying?
