The setting for the preliminary hearing of former PCC student Isaac Campbell was postponed Thursday at the Alhambra Courthouse.
Campbell, who is charged with the murder of one-time PCC student Liya Jessie Lu, will make a new appearance in court on July 3.
“The defense filled a request for continuance,” said Deputy District Attorney Steve Ipson. “The defense is not ready for the preliminary hearing.”
Meanwhile, Lu’s parents, who are in China, are following the case through the help of Lu’s friends.
“I try to keep [Lu’s parents] up to date with the case,” said Lu’s friend David Gibson. “[Lu’s parents] are not completely healed from the loss of their daughter.”
Opinion: Sexism in Media’s Reportage of Clinton’s Campaign
Brittany Wong, Asst. A&E Editor
The night after Barack Obama and Hillary’s secret meeting at Senator Dianne Feinstein’s Washington home, Clinton supporters waited with bated breath for information on what was discussed and looked forward to a mysterious campaign event her people had scheduled for June 7.
As they waited for what would be a well-crafted concession speech and endorsement of Obama, the obituaries for their candidate’s failed presidential bid continued to pour in, though at a less steady pace than before (Throughout the Democratic primary, the media seemed prematurely intent on declaring the race over).

David McCabe, director of the Teacher Preparation Program at PCC, spoke to students and PCC visitors in a symposium about his manuscript, “Without Sin” and the experiences of unpublished writers.
“Without Sin,” his novel told from the backdrop of the US-Mexico border about a relationship that develops between a young Mexican prostitute and a border patrol agent, is currently being shopped around to publishing houses by a literary agent.
The first half of the April 24 symposium, held in the Cross Cultural Center, was spent discussing the writing process and what the current state of reading in the US means for writers.
With literary reading in steep decline, especially among young adults, McCabe suggested would-be writers engage in reading themselves.
“The focused attention required and the growth of imagination that comes with reading enriches public life. To lose connection with the written word is to become less independent in your thinking. If you’re a writer, take the time to learn from those who have written,” he said.
Most essential to writing is actually writing, McCabe said. “You have to write,” he said, suggesting journal writing and carrying post-it-notes to collect random thoughts. “Writing is an act you have to be fully engaged in or it just doesn’t get done.” [Read more →]
