Larry Millete Trial Pushed to March 9, 2026 After Defense Seeks Delay

The case stays in Chula Vista under Judge Enrique Camarena with juror screening planned to address heavy local publicity.

Overview

  • Defense attorneys requested the latest postponement but did not provide a reason during the brief court hearing.
  • Lawyers on the case said the new schedule is expected to be the final delay before trial.
  • Attorneys will reconvene next month to finalize questionnaires to gauge prospective jurors’ prior exposure to the case.
  • The judge has rejected defense efforts to move the proceedings from the Chula Vista courthouse or out of San Diego County.
  • The trial is expected to last about three months, and Millete faces a murder count and an assault-weapon charge carrying up to 25 years to life if convicted.
