Apparently the public defender representing Gardner in San Diego asked that the case be pushed back until September because he had not yet received police reports, and the complex case will need "extensive work." The Deputy DA asked the prelim to be held in July.The judge set the August 4 date as a compromise between the two lawyers. A trial judge has not yet been assigned to the case.
