Reuben Foster pleaded not guilty to domestic violence and other charges Tuesday, setting up what could be a crucial preliminary hearing for the 49ers linebacker on May 17.
Steven Clark, a former deputy district attorney for Santa Clara County, said it's possible the victim in the case, Elissa Ennis, will testify on that date. Ennis has said through her attorney that she initially lied about Foster hitting her on the morning of Feb. 11 and that the injuries that were documented by police were suffered in a previous fight with a woman.
A video of Ennis fighting with a woman after an apparent road-rage incident in or near San Francisco has been turned over to prosecutors who continue to review it.
