Almost a year to the date after Eunice civil rights activist and retired educator George Fisher, 63, died in an auto accident, the other driver pleaded not guilty to killing him.
Fisher and a passenger in his car, Calvin Cheeks, 63, of Church Point died last March after Fisher’s car was hit by a pickup driven by Gerardo Robles-Velasquez, 29.
Proceedings 15th Judicial District Court in Crowley were initially delayed due to the defendant’s critical injuries, then by the need to have an interpreter in court for Robles-Velasquez’s arraignment.
