0 1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, vs. SIALE ANGILAU, Defendant. DISTRICT OF UTAH ---- ORDER IDEPUTY CLERK Case No. 2:08-CR-758-TC On April21, 2014, Defendant Siale Angilau apparently rushed and attacked a cooperating witness and was shot several times by law enforcement in front of the court and the Jury. After the shooting, a group of marshals continued to hold Mr. Angilati at gunpoint near the jury box while the jurors were still present in the courtroom. The court has met with the jury and observed that most of the jury members are visibly shaken and upset by this episode. The court has been informed that the jurors will be interviewed by law enforcement. The court finds that this occurrence in the courtroom would so prejudice Mr. Angilau as to deprive him of a fair trial. The court hereby declares a mistrial. DATED this 21st day of April, 2014. BY THE COURT:
