California murder suspect's lawyer detained

A mistrial was declared in a California murder case after the defendant’s attorney was arrested for suspicion of being under the influence and failed to appear in court. The attorney, Christopher Loethen, was detained at the Stanislaus County courthouse following concerns during the trial of Kelley Marie Ball, who faces charges related to a 2020 DUI hit-and-run involving a 12-year-old girl. After Loethen's arrest and subsequent absence from court, he was removed from the case, and another attorney was appointed. The trial was scheduled to resume with a new defense lawyer, but the mistrial allows prosecutors to try Ball again.
