Preliminary hearing set for sailor accused in death of Angelina Resendiz
Media have been invited to the Article 32 hearing — which is a pre-trial hearing in the Uniform Code of Military Justice — to determine whether the case can go to trial.

However, Copeland has yet to be named publicly by Navy officials. The sheet states that Copeland is accused of committing the murder while on active duty at or near Norfolk on or about May 29 — the date Navy officials say Resendiz was last seen.
