NEWPORT BEACH
The trial of an Illinois woman who allegedly stalked and harassed former NBA star Dennis Rodman awaits a judge’s decision next month after a less-than-normal hearing at the Harbor Justice Center on Monday.
After five hours of testimony from prosecution witnesses, Superior Court Judge Susanne S. Shaw decided to wait until Oct. 1 to decide whether there is enough evidence to hold over 36-year-old Marie Boguszewski for trial.
Boguszewski was arrested in March for allegedly threatening Rodman and members of his family through messages left on various answering machines and e-mails.
The frequency of calls reportedly escalated in November after Rodman married actress Carmen Electra.
Boguszewski also left numerous messages with Rodman’s former agency, Dwight Manley Inc. in Newport Beach.
Boguszewski faces three counts of making terrorist threats and one count of electronic stalking. If convicted on all counts, she could spend a maximum of five years in state prison.
