(10-15) 13:29 PDT BERKELEY -- The dean of UC Berkeley's law school said Monday that he was "extremely troubled" by the arrest of two law students who allegedly beheaded an exotic bird in Las Vegas.
Christopher Edley Jr., the head of UC Berkeley School of Law, said he was concerned about "the students' actions off campus, but it's up to the Nevada legal system to examine the facts and rule in this case. It's premature to speculate about any possible consequences. The justice system must run its course."
Eric Cuellar, 24, and Justin Teixeira, 24, appeared in a Clark County court on Monday morning, but have not been charged. Prosecutors are seeking more information about the incident from police. The two were ordered to return to court on Feb. 11.
