While out of jail in pending human trafficking case, Emeryville man allegedly assaulted 71-year-old woman

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:27:30 GMT

OAKLAND — A woman’s discreet call to a Union City hotel employee in December 2021 describing how her pimp was holding her against her will led to human trafficking, pimping and pandering charges being filed against the 38-year-old man.Christopher Card was subsequently released from jail via an electronic monitoring program but he’s back in custody now after prosecutors filed new felony charges alleging he beat his grandmother’s 71-year-old caretaker.The charges stem from a dispute about another family receiving power of attorney over their grandmother, court records show.At a June court appearance for the human trafficking case, Card refused to come out of his cell, and his attorney formally declared a doubt over Card’s mental competency. The legal maneuver means two psychiatrists must now evaluate Card and turn their report over to a judge by July 28, court records show.Card, an Emeryville resident who also goes by Samir Haseen, has filed a motion for a new attorn...

Warriors land coveted forward Dario Saric to one-year deal, per reports

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:27:30 GMT

The Golden State Warriors signed forward Dario Saric to the veteran minimum contract, according to reports. That checks off a prioritized box for general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. in his first foray into NBA free agency as the Warriors’ general manager.Saric, 29, is a 6-foot-10 stretch forward who fits perfectly in head coach Steve Kerr’s scheme. In his 10-year career, Saric has proven to be a big that can move the ball in a motion offense and pose a legitimate threat as a 3-point shooter.There were rumors that Saric had his eye on joining the Miami Heat should they land Damian Lillard in a trade, but his seamless fit is likely a reason that Saric agreed to terms on a veteran minimum — which, based on his 10 years of experience, should slot him in at approximately $3.1 million for the season.“All we’re going to be able to have is minimums, so we have to work with that,” Dunleavy said on draft night. “We’re looking at veteran players who can fit into our rotation.
