LOS ANGELES – A judge says there is enough evidence for a woman to stand trial on a charge of slashing Leonardo DiCaprio's face with glass during a 2005 party. A preliminary hearing ended Thursday with 40-year-old Aretha Wilson being ordered to face one count of assault with a deadly weapon.
DiCaprio was not in attendance. Wilson was returned to Los Angeles in the five-year-old case after waiving extradition from Canada. She has pleaded not guilty and remains jailed in lieu of $150,000 bail. Wilson's attorney Freddy Sayegh did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
