LINCOLN, Kan. (AP) A preliminary hearing in a second-degree murder case involving the son of a Kansas sheriff has been postponed.
The hearing for Scott Weigel was scheduled Tuesday in Lincoln County District but it was rescheduled to Nov. 25. The 33-year-old Weigel is charged in the Sept. 9 shooting death of Keith Ancell, 21, of Lincoln.
The Salina Journal reports Lincoln County Attorney Jennifer O’Hare asked that the hearing be delayed to provide attorneys more time to review the evidence.
Weigel is being held in a jail outside of Lincoln County. His bond is $750,000. He is the son of Lincoln County Sheriff Mike Weigel.
