Former taxpayer advocate Gregory Eyler, one of several people suspected of political malfeasance and fraud in the San Bernardino County Assessor's Office, has been scheduled for a jury trial in January.
Eyler appeared for a pretrial hearing on Wednesday before Judge Michael Smith in San Bernardino Superior Court.
The trial was set to start Jan.30. Smith said he was "treating this as a firm date." An assignment calendar date, to ensure the case is ready for trial, was set for Jan.27.
