Valley briefs: Murder trial set after juror misconduct

A new date has been set to retry a Fresno County man whose murder verdict was set aside because of juror misconduct.

The trial for Chris Lavalle Washington, 31, is set for March 11, Judge Alan Simpson ruled Thursday.

Washington was found guilty last February of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Kay Daniels III, 31, at Helm and Ashlan avenues in Clovis on March 24, 2011. He was found not guilty of first-degree murder and can't be retried on that charge, said his attorney, Michael Aed. Washington denies he was the shooter.
