As of Sunday 2/27/11 it appears as though there were wiretaps and the prosecution has halted the hearing for Francisco Torres of the SF8.  You can find updated postings of the case and situation for Francisco at www(dot)freethesf8.blogspot.com

850 Bryant St, Department 22 (dept may change, ask a bailiff), San Francisco, CA

Visible support is crucial at this point in the push to drop all
charges against Francisco Torres/ the SF 8. This hearing is expected to last all day, please come out when and for however long you can!
The defense will call retired San Francisco police officer Henry Fikkers to testify about wiretaps he has claimed to know about. The police, FBI, and prosecution have claimed all along that there were no wiretaps relevant to the case, an assertion which seems absurd on its face given the well documented use of taps on the left and on the Black Panther Party in particular during the time period of the case (1968-1973). However, many of those wiretaps were illegal and courts have thrown out charges in other cases based on their use.
