Woman accused in deadly Metro bus crash due in court

Good morning. This is a preliminary setting hearing, basically a hearing to set a date for the prelim. But we could see some important things come from it, including her public defender asking for a bail reduction. Right now she's behind bars on a $4.1 million bail set. Now take a look. The last time we saw Bailey Lynn Rios in court, she was on a gurney being wheeled in from an ambulance. That first time, a judge ruling she was in no medical condition to be charged, we saw several postponements, and eventually she came back again on a gurney and was charged with two counts of murder, driving under the influence of drugs, and reckless driving, before crashing into a metro bus in Chatsworth, killing two passengers and injuring five others. She was represented by a public defender, and the 36-year-old has officially entered a plea of not death. Now, today's hearing again is to set a date for that prelim hearing and that is where prosecutors will lay out just enough of their case against her to Hopefully, from their perspective, convince a judge that there is probable cause to send the case to trial. They will charge that on September 15th, Rios was under the influence of drugs while speeding, running a red light, and then crashing into the middle of that bus, killing 46-year-old Daniel Castillo and 31-year-old Gage Wida. Again, a judge will then decide if she should be held to trial. Meanwhile, online records show that she She does remain behind bars. Again, her bail set at $4.1 million, and we could see her public defender ask for a bail reduction. We could also see them ask for a continuance for that preliminary hearing. A lot of things could happen, but again, Bailey Lynn Rios expected in court today. Reporting live, I'm Gigi Graciette. Back to you. Gigi, thank you.
