As Santa Clara Vice Mayor Anthony Becker stands trial for allegedly leaking a confidential civil grand jury report to the San Francisco 49ers, his attorneys have zeroed in on emails from former team executive Rahul Chandhok claiming he received the document from “multiple press outlets” — despite Chandhok’s testimony that Becker was the source of the leak.

Becker’s long-awaited trial got underway last week as the current District 6 representative fell to dead last in a challenging re-election bid where he struggled to get endorsements and the 49ers spent big backing one of his two opponents. Just two years prior, the NFL team had shelled out more than $1.4 million trying to get Becker elected mayor, and another roughly $1 million attacking Mayor Lisa Gillmor.
