A preliminary hearing in the murder trial of Alexandre Hochstraser, a former De Anza College administrative assistant, is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Wednesday in Department 23 of the Hall of Justice. Attorneys have until Wednesday to possibly delay the hearing.
A court employee said that neither Ken Robinson, Hochstraser's lawyer, nor Ted Kajani, the district attorney prosecuting the case, had filed any motions to delay the hearing. The hearing has already been delayed twice, most recently because Robinson had other court appointments.
Hochstraser is charged with one count of murder. He was arrested last June after police discovered a dismembered body, later identified to be Hochstraser's girlfriend, Dolores Gonzales, in a car outside the couple's apartment. Gonzales was an employee at nMission College in Santa Clara. At De Anza, Hochstraser had worked in the International Student Office and the math department, and held the position of union steward.
The Hall of Justice is located at 190 West Hedding Street in downtown San Jose.

About time this happens! He needs to be accountable for his crime leaving a child without a mother and taking the life of someone is horrible. Hope he enters San Quentin soon!

Death by injection might be painful but there is no comparison to the pain he caused Dee's family and friends.
