Court may hear jailed man's claim |
Byline:JOHN MCDONALD
A Garden Grove man won a court ruling that could lead to a hearing on his claim that he did not commit a 1999 robbery for which he is imprisoned.
George Arnulfo Lopez, 19, says he was working at a Santa Ana frame shop when Commercial Credit Corp. of Anaheim was robbed by several men.
The 4th District Court of Appeal issued an order late Tuesday sending the case to a trial court to decide whether a hearing is justified.
James Crawford, Lopez's lawyer, said he is confident a hearing will be granted and his client proved innocent.
