A preliminary hearing that was scheduled for this past Friday was delayed to Monday for a salinas man accused of murder. Not all of the prosecution’s witnesses were available on Friday, which caused the re-scheduling. Also at issue at Friday’s pre-trial hearing for 54-year-old Adnan Nijmeddin, was a request by the defense to ban cameras from the courtroom. The defense argued that the constant images of the defendant in shackles would taint a potential jury. The judge disagreed, and ruled that cameras can remain, for now. Nijmeddin is facing murder charges for allegedly running over 47-year-old billy rajah junior on January 17th.
