FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Justice was delayed again Thursday because, for the second time in just 30 days, accused murderer Adam Canales was not ready to enter a plea. He is accused of a deadly pursuit by law enforcement.

“The request is to continue the trial until January 16,” his public defender said. “Canales continues to seek private counsel.”

Canales now has two months to hire a private attorney to defend him against two counts of murder, eluding an officer and leaving the scene of an accident.

Action News legal analyst Tony Capozzi says it’s likely the last delay Canales will get.

“At the end of those two months, if there is no lawyer, the public defender or someone will be assigned to represent this defendant in court,” Capozzi said.

While Canales hires his lawyer, the horrific trail of destruction he’s accused of causing is still visible at this Central Fresno home.

Prosecutors say he led deputies on a 27-second chase last month. It ended in this dramatic accident, killing 25-year-old Mang Yang and 18-year-old Eliza Yang, who were in the house at the time.

Neighbor Sylvia ran to help the innocent victims.

“I had to get the father out of the room because he was trying to lift the SUV by himself, trying to get his daughters out. It was just sad.”

At last check, the victims’ family was staying in a hotel because their home is unlivable. Sylvia says they just moved a few months before the accident. Now, she says, it has been vandalized by homeless people.

“They see the candles (and) the pictures here and they still come here and they just — they’ve come into the house I don’t know how many times,” Sylvia said.

Canales is due back in court in January.

He is being held on $2,140,000 bond.
