A California lawyer who was appointed to represent a capital defendant after a longtime absence from law practice is no longer on the case.
Lawyer Gary Turnbull, now 74, was ousted from the case at the request of the defendant, Juan Pablo Vega, who is accused of killing two people at a nightclub, the Los Angeles Times reports. Turnbull had regained his law license in October after he did not practice law for nearly two decades.
