Prelim set for Monroe in officer-involved shooting

Prosecutors are reporting that a preliminary hearing for Monica Monroe was scheduled for Monday in San Bernardino Superior Court.
Whether that date holds, and the hearing occurs without getting postponed, remains to be seen. In some cases, last-minute objections or motions from lawyers can continue the hearing to another date.
But the schedule was set today when Monroe appeared in court.
This preliminary hearing should be interesting because Monroe is represented by Woodland Hills-based lawyer Dale K. Galipo, who is also representing other folks who have been shot by police officers.
At a preliminary hearing, a judge will listen to evidence and testimony supporting the charges and then determine whether there is sufficient evidence to hold over the defendant for trial.
Monroe was charged with one count of assault on a peace officer, after San Bernardino Police say she raised a weightlifting bar at them when they were flagged down to assist with a domestic dispute on May 19 at her home.
