Hearing moved to July for driver charged in crash that killed Bakersfield married couple
Paul Brar, the attorney representing Anabell Aleyna Correa, was granted the postponement Monday after telling the court he has a trial starting in Los Angeles that would conflict with the previously scheduled June 9 date.
The hearing is now set for July 16.
Suspected drunken driver in SW Bakersfield crash that killed married couple admitted to drinking: search warrant
Correa, 21, is facing two counts of second-degree murder, among other charges.
She's accused of driving drunk early March 16 and running a red light, colliding with a rideshare vehicle carrying Max Austin Mooney and Desiree Paula Noelle Mooney, both 30.
Max Mooney died at the scene. Desiree Mooney was pronounced dead at Kern Medical.
Correa had a blood-alcohol content of 0.088%, above the legal limit of 0.08%, according to a court filing. She showed signs of being intoxicated — including slurred speech and bloodshot eyes — and told police she drank two 24-ounce cans of Twisted Tea, which contains alcohol, the filing says.

Judge expected to decide if Aliza Sherman murder suspect should be placed on GPS
CLEVELAND (WJW) – A Cuyahoga County Common Pleas judge will be asked Wednesday to place an accused killer, who is now out on a $2 million bond, on a GPS monitoring device. Judge Kira Krivosh is expected to hear arguments on the matter during a pretrial for Gregory Moore. Moore, a former divorce attorney, is accused of killing his client Aliza Sherman in March of 2013. Her case had gone unsolved for 12 years. Local doctor indicted on ethnic intimidation in threats against Jewish-American congressman Max Miller A grand jury secretly indicted Moore in May on several charges including aggravated murder. He was arraigned May 28. At that time, Judge Deborah Turner set his bond at $2 million and the only restriction she placed on him was that he stay away from Sherman's family. Moore posted the bond July 3 and walked out of the Cuyahoga County jail. A short time later, prosecutors filed a motion asking he be placed on an electronic monitoring device. Moore's attorney, Jon Paul Rion, however, objects. Rion said he does not believe it is necessary to place any additional restrictions on Moore.'Moreover, for 13 years, Moore has been in plain sight, not hiding and not on the run,' Moore's attorney wrote in a motion opposing the GPS monitoring device. 'Moore is prepared to face these false allegations against him.' Tornado confirmed in Medina County on Monday The prosecution, however, disagrees. 'This case is not weak by any means,' prosecutors wrote in their motion. 'The fact that Gregory Moore thinks it is, is even more reason for his whereabouts to be monitored by this court until the trial in this matter.' Moore's trial is set for March.

[WATCH: In the video player above, watch as the former mayor is greeted by family and supporters immediately following his sentencing.] CLEVELAND (WJW) — East Cleveland Mayor Brandon King was sentenced to three years of probation on Wednesday and ordered to pay more than $27,000 in restitution after he was found guilty on public corruption charges in May. In addition, the former mayor was ordered to receive random drug testing, find full-time employment, and complete 100 hours of community service. He is also disqualified from holding a position of public office. King, who had been mayor since 2016, is accused of pushing more than $75,000 in city money to businesses owned by himself or his family. RITZ cracker recall over potentially life-threatening error: FDA He had previously been found guilty on charges including theft in office, having unlawful interest in a public contract and soliciting improper compensation. Prior to sentencing, King joined others in the courtroom and held hands in prayer. Prosecutors requested a prison sentence due to the 'seriousness' of the crimes and said King used his position of power to facilitate some of the offenses. Convicted killer free after toilet tunnel escape 'He did hold a position of public trust in East Cleveland, not just any position, the highest position, and he betrayed that trust,' said prosecutors in court on Wednesday. King's defense attorney said King planned to file an appeal, therefore he would not be commenting. 'The purpose of sentencing is to protect the public, it's our belief that a prison sentence is not necessary to protect the public. It's our belief that Mr. King not being able to run for office is a punishment,' said King's attorney. Tuesday, East Cleveland councilman Ernest Smith was also sentenced in the corruption case, receiving three years probation. Smith had previously been found guilty on charges including theft in office, theft, soliciting improper compensation and misuse of credit cards. The theft reportedly amounted to more than $13,500.
