Preliminary Hearing Set in ‘Mall Murders’ Case
A Dec. 2 preliminary hearing has been set for four defendants accused in the series of five San Gabriel Valley kidnap-murders dubbed the “mall murders.”
The four defendants--John Lewis, Vincent Hubbard, Robin Machuca and Eileen Huber--appeared briefly Wednesday in Citrus Municipal Court in West Covina with their attorneys.
Judge Fred Felix said the hearing will take one week. Felix kept in place a gag order sealing the case and preventing attorneys from talking to reporters.
