Woman Denies Helping Skinheads Kill Teenager
A Ventura woman accused of helping two skinheads kill a teenage girl pleaded not guilty Friday to murder charges as her defense lawyer demanded access to documents he contends support claims of misconduct by law enforcement.
State prosecutors last month dismissed a murder indictment against Bridget Callahan, 30, to avoid a possible legal challenge and filed a new criminal complaint.
On Friday, Callahan pleaded not guilty in the October 1998 slaying of Nichole Hendrix, 17, of Ventura. A preliminary hearing was set for July 9. She remains in custody without bail.
