Testimony expected this morning in Valdivia sword killing case
A woman accused of murdering her husband with a sword in the couple's Upland apartment is scheduled to face a preliminary hearing this morning in West Valley Superior Court.
Prosecutors accuse Naomi Valdivia, 33, of killing Jose Luis Gonzales, 36, on April 26, 2008 in the 800 block of West Orchid Court.
Valdivia rejected a plea offer from prosecutors last week that would have landed her a 13 year, 4 month prison sentence. Her family says she acted in self-defense.
If the hearing goes forward today as scheduled, prosecutors will likely call witnesses such as police officers to testify about Valdivia's alleged crime.
