Ryder’s Preliminary Hearing Again Delayed
- Share via
A judge on Wednesday again delayed a preliminary hearing in the shoplifting case against actress Winona Ryder, despite strong opposition from prosecutors.
Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox said the hearing to determine if Ryder will stand trial “must go” on June 3 after being delayed several times since her arrest in December. Ryder’s attorney, Mark Geragos, requested the latest delay because of his scheduled appearance in another case.
Ryder was arrested Dec. 12 for allegedly stealing about $4,800 in clothing from Saks Fifth Avenue. Police said she also possessed a painkiller without a prescription.
She has pleaded innocent to theft, burglary, vandalism and possession of a controlled substance.
