"As Courthouse News reports, the scene at the Solano County Courthouse in Central California earlier this week was pandemonium as 30-year-old Alex "Somni" Leatham and 24-year-old Suri Dao awaited the official date for their trial, in which both are charged with the attempted murder of their former landlord, Curtis Lind, who was blinded during a 2022 katana attack over a rent dispute - an assault that ultimately became the first of six violent crimes associated with the loose group."
"The co-defendants are also charged in connection with the killing of their friend Emma Borhanian, who was shot by Lind during the first of two violent incidents with the Vallejo landlord - who was, to make things all the more convoluted, killed earlier this year by yet another associate of the cult when he was set to testify against Dao and Leathem."
"Almost as soon as the hearing began, Leathem - who, like Ziz and others in the loose group, is a trans woman - began screaming. "I am an innocent woman! I have done nothing wrong! This is a show trial to coordinate the genocide of transgender people! What will you do when they come for you?" Leatham hollered. "Where have the good men gone? Where are the gods?""
A pretrial hearing in Solano County turned chaotic when two alleged members of a group known as the Zizians appeared. Alex "Somni" Leatham, 30, and Suri Dao, 24, await trial on charges including the attempted murder of former landlord Curtis Lind, who was blinded in a 2022 katana attack tied to the group. The defendants are also charged in connection with the killing of friend Emma Borhanian, who was shot by Lind during an earlier violent incident. Lind was later killed by another associate when he was set to testify. Leatham repeatedly shouted claims of innocence and alleged denial of estrogen in custody before being escorted out by armed guards.
