Gabrielle Nestande will stand trial beginning Sept. 17 in the case of a fatal hit-and-run accident in Tarrytown in May 2011.
Nestande did not appear at a hearing setting her trial date in Travis County District Court this morning, although friends and family of victim Courtney Griffin turned out in force, as they have for most previous hearings.
Nestande, a former legislative staffer, is charged with failure to stop and render aid after allegedly hitting Courtney Griffin, who was walking home.
