William Epting has not only been in jail awaiting trial for six years, he was coerced into “gassing” inmates by corrupt deputies at Santa Rita Jail, who he eventually testified against.
OAKLAND — Six years after he was arrested and charged with murder in an Oakland shooting that preceded a bizarre series of police chases, a 56-year-old man has been ordered to stand trial, court records show.
Epting, who has two prior manslaughter convictions, is charged with murdering Edgar Trammel, his neighbor, in a July 22, 2017 shooting on the 2700 block of 75th Avenue in Oakland. Afterwards, Epting allegedly fled the area in an easily-recognizable 1999 Mercury Mystique, then returned to the area several times, only to be noticed by police and chased.
“ proceeded to defecate on himself, take off his clothing, and rub himself with feces,” Barocio said, according to a transcript of the hearing released in late May.
