Henderson Couple Faces Trial In Escaped Inmate Case

A Henderson couple accused of helping a murder suspect who'd been mistakenly freed from a Los Angeles jail hide in a motel room in a quiet Nevada town have a new court date in a felony accessory to escape case.

A Boulder City judge set a July 12 preliminary hearing for Bruce Oliver and Lavera Wilson on charges that could get them up to five years in prison.

Oliver and Wilson and their lawyer declined to comment outside court.

Police allege that Wilson rented a room in Boulder City where Steven Wright was found several days after he was set free Jan. 30 in Los Angeles in what jailers later said was a paperwork error.

Wright has since been returned in custody to Los Angeles.
