A judge has ruled there’s enough evidence to try two suspects for murder in the nightclub beating death in Santa Ana of 23-year-old Kim Pham, reports KABC.
Candace Brito, 27, and Vanesa Zavala, 25, has both plead not guilty to the charge.
“You can see both defendants, particularly Ms. Brito, punching and kicking the victim, and you can see Ms. Zavala kick the victim as well while she was down,” said prosecutor Troy Pino.
But the defense maintains that Pham started the fight.
“It was a powder keg. That powder keg exploded. Ms. Pham’s the one that lit the match,” said Brito’s defense attorney, Michael Molfetta.
