Manslaughter Trial Of Mexican Soap Star Pablo Lyle Postponed Until August

MIAMI (CBSMiami) - The manslaughter trial of a popular Mexican soap opera actor has been postponed.

During a brief virtual hearing on Thursday morning, the attorney for Pablo Lyle asked for more time to prepare the case.

Lyle, 33, is accused of involuntary manslaughter.

Back in March of 2019, Lyle was captured on surveillance video running out of the passenger side of the vehicle towards Juan Ricardo Hernandez, 63. His brother-in-law also got out of the car, but it was not in park and it started rolling into the intersection.

SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS CAPTURED THE PUNCH:

The brother-in-law ran back to the car to stop it from rolling and Hernandez walked back toward his own car. That is when the surveillance video shows Lyle running towards Hernandez.

The judge postponed the trial to August 2nd.

The trial was supposed to start in just a few weeks.

Lyle is on house arrest until the start of the trial.

Lyle was the star of the Mexican telenovela "Mi Adorable Maldición," or "My Adorable Curse." He also stars in a newly released Netflix drama called "Yankee."
