Stories you shouldn’t miss:
1. The Johannes Mehserle murder trial likely will come down to whether jurors believe the tears shed by the ex-BART cop were genuine or staged, the Chron reports. Was Mehserle telling the truth when he wept openly and told jurors: “I didn’t think I had my gun,” at the moment he fatally shot Oscar Grant in the back? Or will jurors question why Mehserle never told fellow officers after the killing that it had been accident — that he meant to pull out his Taser but mistakenly grabbed his gun instead. The case could go to the jury as early as the end of this week.
