"Becker's appeal seeks a certificate of probable cause to contest the jury's guilty verdict for perjury related to leaking a Grand Jury report."
"Evidence presented in the trial focused on Becker's alleged dishonesty regarding leaking the report, with testimonies from key figures like Chandhok."
Former Santa Clara Councilmember Anthony Becker has filed an appeal in his felony perjury case in response to a guilty verdict reached by jurors in December 2024. Becker was convicted of leaking a Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury report prior to its official release and subsequently lying about it. Following a monthlong trial, he was sentenced to 40 days in a county sheriff's work program. His lawyers have requested a probable cause certificate and the assignment of an appellate public defender to support the appeal process.
