Man receives 2 years of probation for poisoning co-worker's water bottle

 

Criminal defense attorney Donna Rotunno joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss David Xu's petition to dismiss his felony poisoning conviction after being caught on camera in 2019 pouring toxic chemicals into a Berkeley co-worker's water bottle.

Poisoning conviction dismissal sought by David Xu sparks outrage after he was caught on camera contaminating a Berkeley co-worker's water bottle. Lawrence Jones and criminal defense attorney Donna Rotunno analyze the controversial case where Xu received only two years of probation despite the victim suffering for 18 months. Now, Xu wants his record completely expunged.

UPDATE: A Berkeley engineer whose co-worker was convicted of poisoning her is speaking publicly about the case for the first time after a court agreed to expunge his felony conviction despite objections from prosecutors. Rong Yuan said she spent years trying to understand a series of unexplained health problems starting in 2017, including vomiting and hair loss, before discovering what she says was happening at her workplace. "Shocked. I don't know why," Yuan said when asked what she thought after reviewing video she recorded.
