The previously delayed criminal trial of Ed Buck on federal
charges relating to the methamphetamine-overdose deaths of two
Black men, on separate occasions, at his former residence in
West Hollywood has been rescheduled from next week to April 20.

A source close to the case says that another postponement is
almost certain to follow, if for no other reason than the
logistics involved in pooling a jury, a process presumably
complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Relatives of Buck’s alleged victims and prominent Black Lives
Matter activists have expressed their desire to see swift
justice in the case. However, L.A.-based journalist and
prominent BLM advocate Jasmyne Cannick (a Los Angeles
contributor) was deferential to the current need to hunker down
in the face of a raging COVID-19 crisis by delaying jury trials.

Cannick, inarguably the person most singularly responsible for
pressuring authorities to arrest and prosecute Buck more than
two years after the death of his first alleged victim, 26-year-
old Gemmel Moore, remains laser focused on the case.

“We are looking forward to 2021 being the year that the victims
of Ed Buck get some semblance of justice with his conviction for
his crimes,” she said in a January 7 blog post marking the two-
year anniversary of the death of Buck’s second alleged victim,
Timothy Dean, 55.

Confirming to Los Angeles that Buck’s trial has been delayed
until spring, the United States Attorney’s Office for the
Central District of California declined to say whether or not
further delays were likely.

“April 20 is the trial date,” a spokesperson for the U.S.
Attorney’s Office said via email. “Mr. Buck is in custody at the
Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles. We have
no further comment.”

Buck, formerly a noted philanthropist, animal-rights advocate,
and Democratic campaign donor, is charged with nine counts in
his federal criminal case. Charges range from enticement of
prostitution across state lines to felonies such as distributing methamphetamine resulting in death.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office International Narcotics, Money
Laundering, and Racketeering Section is handling the case, with
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Chelsea C. Norell and Lindsay Bailey
prosecuting.

Buck’s defense attorney, former O.J. Simpson prosecutor
Christopher Darden, has not yet responded for comment regarding
the postponement of his client’s jury trial.
