A jury trial was underway Monday for a man charged in the Bolsa triple murder case.
Nick (Nicholas) Chan is charged with the first-degree murder of Sanjeev Mann.
In his opening statement to the jury Monday, prosecutor Adam May said the Crown doesn’t believe Chan shot Mann–or anyone else–at the Bolsa restaurant, but the Crown believes Chan was a “leader” of the gang (FOB) responsible, and “encouraged” a fellow gang member to kill Mann.

It was believed Mann had killed Roger Chin, a member of the FOB gang in July 2008, and that this would have been retaliation for that killing.
