This is the second time kidnapping suspect Chai Her's bench warrant was recalled

Setting of preliminary hearing was scheduled for kidnapping suspect Chai Her this morning.

This is the second time Her's bench warrant was recalled. Judge Lawrence Killoran withdrew the bench warrant issued at the last hearing.  Today, a representative from Bill Davidson was present in court and Her had a letter establishing there was consent to restablish his bail bond. Judge Killoran ordered that Her be present for all future dates.

Her is charged with Count 1, kidnapping; the alleged victim is Jennifer Talynn Hurn. Count 2 is False imprisonment by violence; alleged victim is Hurn. Count 3 is Fleeing a pursuing peace officer's motor vehicle while driving recklessly; special allegation for Count 3 is that Her has a prior conviction of a serious or violent felony or juvenile adjudication.

Intervention is scheduled for April 16;  preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 20. The People made an offer to resolve the case if Her pleads to Count 2 and 3 as misdemeanors. That offer will remain open until intervention.

Deputy Conflict Counsel Owen Tipps is Her's attorney. Deputy District Attorney Candace Myers is the prosecutor for this case.
