Robert Malsch had a case-setting hearing on Tuesday and the judge has scheduled a new trial for June 6, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. He pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide, hit-and-run felony and reckless driving in Redmond in February 2015.

First, an omnibus hearing is scheduled for May 19. According to the Washington Courts website, an omnibus hearing allows sufficient time for counsel to: initiate and complete discovery; conduct further investigation of the case, as needed; and continue plea discussions.

Malsch — who is booked into King County Jail with bail set at $700,000 — failed to appear for his initial trial on Feb. 29, according to King County Superior Court documents. He was apprehended and arrested by Everett police on March 17.

A Reporter story noted that Malsch — a 21-year-old from Lynnwood — was involved in a two-car collision early Feb. 28, 2015, which resulted in the death of the driver in the other car. The other driver was identified as Michael Ey.

A Redmond Police Department spokesperson said Malsch was traveling at a high speed and rear-ended Ey, whose vehicle was stopped at a traffic light off State Route 520 and Avondale Road.

Malsch took two blood tests at Harborview Medical Center, one of which was sent to the Washington State Toxicology laboratory and one that revealed his blood-alcohol level to be approximately three times the legal limit of .08, court documents state.
