- Conviction tossed in $1 million Bay Area COVID fraud case over juror bias
Attila Colar's 2023 conviction on 44 felony charges related to a $1 million COVID benefit fraud scheme was overturned by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals due to a juror with disqualifying bias being allowed to participate in his trial. The court ruled the conviction invalid and ordered a retrial, citing the juror's inability to remain impartial after reacting negatively to Colar's claims about law enforcement bias.
