Marc Anthony Nichols is accused of molesting a 7-year-old girl when he was living with a family in San Bruno. He was convicted of child molestation in the first trial.
A 44-year-old man who was convicted in 2011 of molesting a girl when he was living with a family in San Bruno will get a new trial, a judge ruled Monday. In October, a jury found Marc Anthony Nichols guilty of committing a lewd act with a child and committing oral copulation with a child. The charges stemmed from a 2008 incident in which Nichols allegedly molested a 7-year-old girl while he was renting a room from a woman in San Bruno. Nichols was facing up to 25 years to life in prison. But in a court hearing Monday, Superior Court Judge Clifford Cretan granted Nichols a new trial after determining that one of the jurors during the first trial failed to disclose her own experience with abuse as a child. The juror also had apparently …
