A preliminary hearing in the Lawrence King murder case is set for Sept. 23 in Ventura Superior Court to assess if there is sufficient evidence to proceed to trial. Fourteen-year-old Brandon McInerney has been charged as an adult with premeditated murder with a special hate crime allegation for allegedly shooting the 15-year-old, openly-gay King in the head in an Oxnard classroom last February.
