This morning's hearing for Alan Bear's trial on felony vehicular manslaughter was continued to Thursday, June 18.  District Attorney Paul Gallegos apologized at having to request a continuance.  A last minute piece of evidence came up that had to be shared with the defense.  There is some concern that this may require the charges to be downgraded to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.

Alan Bear struck down bicycle commuter Greg Jennings last August on a straight stretch of Route 299 just west of Blue Lake.

About fifteen familymembers friends and supporters of Greg's wife, Lisa Hoover, attended the hearing to support her and received a more detailed breifing about the situation from Mr. Gallegos afterward.
