"Asia Lozano Morton, 25, of Dublin, is accused of helping her boyfriend in the Oct. 3 killing. She was initially charged with accessory after the fact and pleaded not guilty in late October. On Thursday, Morton changed her plea to no contest, waiving her right to a jury trial. Her boyfriend, Richard Lund, 43, also of Dublin, is accused of carrying out the shooting."
"Investigators said they believe the killing was planned and potentially tied to Calcagni's decision to fire Lund and Morton from their jobs at the North Beach landmark, known as the nation's first topless bar. Calcagni, 60, had returned home from work around 5 a.m. when he was shot near his Brookwood Avenue residence. A passerby found his body on a sidewalk nearby roughly 90 minutes later."
Asia Lozano Morton, 25, of Dublin, pleaded no contest Thursday to charges related to the Oct. 3 killing of Mark Calcagni, waiving her right to a jury trial. Morton was initially charged with accessory after the fact and had pleaded not guilty in late October. Her boyfriend, Richard Lund, 43, of Dublin, is accused of carrying out the shooting and has pleaded not guilty to murder and illegal gun possession. Investigators believe the killing was planned and possibly tied to Calcagni's decision to fire Lund and Morton from the Condor Club. Calcagni, 60, was found fatally shot near his Santa Rosa home after returning from work. Lund remains jailed without bail; Morton will be sentenced Jan. 15 and had been under GPS supervision while awaiting trial.
