STOCKTON – Could the testimony of a grand juror be what embattled Manteca Unified trustee and Stockton politician Sam Fant needs to get a fair trial?His attorney, Yolonda Huang, wants to find out. On Monday morning Fant appeared in San Joaquin Superior Court alongside his Oakland-based defense attorney to lobby Judge George J. Abdullah Jr. to allow her to interview a former member of the San Joaquin Civil Grand Jury who is currently legally barred from discussing the cases that she investigated. Fant is facing two counts of election fraud for allegedly conspiring to get Ashley Drain and Alexander Bronson elected to the Manteca Unified School District Board for area seats where they did not legally reside as required by law.
