Hearing delayed until Nov. 7 in Kalamazoo bike crash case
KALAMAZOO — A preliminary examination for the Battle Creek man charged in a June bicycling accident that killed five cyclists is rescheduled for November.
Charles Pickett Jr., 50, was scheduled to appear for the hearing Wednesday, but it will be held in a full-day session Nov. 7.
Kalamazoo County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Carrie Klein said the hearing was delayed to allow for more than just a half day. The examination, set before District Judge Vincent Westra, will determine if enough evidence exists to send the case to Kalamazoo County Circuit Court for trial.
