A meeting to set the preliminary hearing for UCLA linebacker Asi
Faoa is scheduled for July 10 at 8:30 a.m. Faoa, his lawyer Milton
Grimes and deputy district attorney Dana Garcetti are scheduled to
meet at the Los Angeles Municipal Court.
Faoa was arrested on June 16 on one count each of mayhem and
assault, six weeks after an altercation at a fraternity party that
left third-year psychology student Rodrigo DeZubiria with brain
damage.
Faoa pled not guilty at his arraignment on June 19. A
preliminary hearing date could not be set at that time, however,
because Grimes was not present. At the arraignment, attorney
MaryEtta Marks represented Faoa in Grimes’ stead.
At the hearing, witnesses from both sides will testify, and the
judge will decide if there is sufficient evidence for the case to
go to a jury trial.
