Erin Brockovich sits in her home in Agoura Hills, Calif., Friday, March 24, 2000. An arraignment for three men accused of trying to extort $310,000 from Brockovich and her boss was postponed again as lawyers battled over where the case should be tried. Attorneys representing Brockovich's ex-husband, ex-boyfriend and their attorney filed a change-of-venue motion claiming that the case does not belong in Ventura County, where Brockovich and attorney Ed Masry are considered ``local heroes.'' Brockovich's ex-husband, Shawn William Brown, 38, ex-boyfriend Jorg Lawrence Halaby, 46, and lawyer John Jeffrey Reiner, 53, were arrested on extortion charges after a two-month investigation by the Ventura County district attorney's office and the FBI.
