Kong to be Retried on Pot Growing Charges

After a jury deadlocked 10-2 in favor of conviction the San Mateo District Attorney has decided to try once again for a conviction against Kenny Kong, the San Francisco man accused of running a marijuana grow operation in a San Bruno home. 

The first trial lasted 11 days.

Kong was also a suspect in a robbery that occurred at another San Bruno grow house.

While awaiting the new trial slated to begin July 15, 2013, Kong will remain free on $250,000 bail.
