Suspects In Taped Road Rage Attack To Face Judge

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – Two Long Beach Women charged in a suspected road rage incident where a man's leg was severed after being pinned to a wall at a Beverly Hills supermarket parking lot will face a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to move forward with a trial today.

The incident was was reportedly captured on video. Abair and Huerta were arrested the next day by Beverly Hills police.

Huerta pleaded not guilty to one felony count of accessory after the fact.

If convicted, Abair faces a possible maximum sentence of life in state prison and Huerta faces three years in county jail.
