Murder trial date set in shooting of Sgt. Cory Wride
By Kurt Hanson Daily Herald
PROVO -- It was a full courtroom as a pretrial conference took place Monday for the woman linked to the shooting death of Utah County Sheriff’s Sgt. Cory Wride in January.
Meagan Grunwald stood before Judge Darold McDade as her attorney Rhome Zabriskie tried to define the case with the judge. It’s complicated because, as Zabriskie said, “it’s a multi-count issue.”
The two eventually settled on a trial date for Grunwald. It will begin Feb. 10 and last nine days total, finishing Feb. 24.
Grunwald will be tried on more than a dozen charges, including murder and attempted murder, in the Jan. 30 death of Wride that sparked a cross-county chase that also left another deputy seriously injured.
Her boyfriend, Angel Garcia-Juaregui, shot Wride. Garcia-Juaregui later died from his injuries sustained during a shootout with police. Grunwald, then 17, will be tried as an adult, as the prosecution believes she was an active participant in the criminal acts.
Grunwald will face a second pretrial conference Nov. 3.
