Johannes Mehserle to appear in court for bail appeal
Story posted 2010.12.03 at 05:50 AM PST
Johannes Mehserle will returns to court today in Los Angeles. His attorney will ask the judge to let his client go free on bail while his conviction in the fatal shooting of unarmed BART passenger Oscar Grant is appealed.
Mehserle was sentenced to two years in prison for involuntary manslaughter last month.
The former BART officer says he made a mistake, thinking he was shooting his Taser at Grant's back, instead of his gun.
The Oakland Tribune reports Mehserle's attorney will ask the judge today to release his client, arguing he has a good chance of overturning the jury's verdict.
