On Wednesday, a judge decided that 29 year old Galina Kilova should appear before a jury charged with killing 63 year old Michael Grubbs, who she hit with her car as he was pushing his granddaughter in a stroller on the side of a southwest valley roadway.

Her defense attorney tried to prove that she did not know she had hit him and that the state did not have sufficient evidence to bring the case. However witnesses identified her and one said she was driving erratically.

Kilova turned herself in to police a week after the hit and run incident and is currently being held on $100,000 bail in the Clark County Detention Center. She faces one count of leaving the scene of an accident with injury or death.

She was initially released on bond but later was detained by U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement because her non-immigrant visa ran out six months after she entered the United States in 2006, having arrived in the country from Bulgaria.

The prosecution highlighted that in 2007, Kilova was convicted in a drunken-driving crash and was uncooperative with authorities during the investigation. In addition she was cited earlier this year for having an open container of alcohol while in a vehicle.

On Monday, Health Plan of Nevada reached a settlement with all those remaining clients who alleged they contracted hepatitis C at endoscopy clinics owned by Dr. Dipak Desai.

The lawsuit involved 62 year old Bernard Paul who was required by his insurance company to obtain health care from certain providers. He was treated at Desai’s clinics in 2005 and 2007 and there he contracted hepatitis.

According to their lawyer the terms of the settlement are confidential, but last year, a jury ordered the insurance company to pay $524 million to three people, two of whom contracted hepatitis C at a facility operated by Desai.

The lawsuit named the insurance company, Health Plan of Nevada and its former parent company, Sierra Health Services Inc. as they owned a duty to ensure that the medical practices they asked clients to use were safe.

In July 2013, Desai was convicted by a jury of 27 criminal counts in relation to hepatitis cases, including second degree murder due to the death of 77 year old Rodolfo Meana from the disease. He was sentenced to life in prison.
