A Sept. 2 trial date was set for accused Night Stalker Richard Ramirez. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge rejected a request from defense attorneys that the case be delayed because of their busy schedule of three other murder cases in Northern California. Judge Dion G. Morrow also scheduled a pretrial hearing Aug. 1 on defense motions, which are expected to include a request that the trial be moved out of Los Angeles County because of prejudicial pretrial publicity. Ramirez, 26, is being held without bail on 14 murder charges and 31 other felonies.
