The trial for the former El Camino student accused of threatening to massacre the campus was postponed until Monday morning, Torrance District Attorney Patrick O’Crowley said.
The 35-year old James Lemus, former student, threatened to “create a massacre” last fall and has been in custody ever since.
Just recently Lemus was assigned a new public defender, who needed more time to get familiar with the case.
“There were all sorts of issues,” O’Crowley said. “Scheduling issues, that’s it.”
Lemus’ next appearance will be on Monday morning, where expert testimony is to be heard about his condition at the start of the trial.
