San Francisco's 'Shrimp Boy' trial: Here's what to expect

It's the FBI vs. Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow in what could be one of the juiciest cases California has seen in quite some time.

Last year, Chow, a reputed gang leader in San Francisco's Chinatown district, was swept up along with former state Sen. Leland Yee as the result of a federal sting. 

Howard Mintz of the San Jose Mercury News joined the show to tell more about the story, and what to expect in the coming weeks.
