The attorney for a man shot by Berkeley police during a recent domestic violence call says she wants off the case, in part because he hasn't paid his bills, court papers show.

On Monday, Alameda County Superior Court Judge David Pereda rejected the request, saying she must continue to represent Ricardo Ruiz — at least for now.

Here's the latest on the case.
