Ashlee Nicole Haley, the former SF State cheer coach who prosecutors say stole $20,000 in club funds, appeared in court around 10:30 a.m. today for a preliminary hearing.

Haley told the judge she had enrolled in a process group and was also serving one day of community service per week.

The prosecution stated they still had extensive evidence to explore before the criminal trial could begin, forcing Judge Chan to schedule a further pre-hearing conference on October 27.

Haley, who was charged with 29 felony counts ranging from embezzlement to obtaining money under false pretenses earlier in the month, refused to comment on the ongoing investigation.

The hearing was held in Department 12 of the San Francisco Hall of Justice and was presided over by Judge Bruce Chan.
