San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster was back in court Tuesday, where he formally entered not guilty pleas to the three felony charges. A preliminary hearing has been set for May 17th, with a potential trial developing from there. There is also an evidentiary hearing this Friday that could end up cancelled if certain evidence is provided before then.
Foster did not choose to “waive time,” according to Robert Salonga. If a defendant “waives time,” it can result in a lengthier process. By not waiving time, Foster’s attorney is putting pressure on the prosecution to potentially present their case before they are completely comfortable with it — particularly in light of the accuser recanting her statement.
