A Manhattan man set to be sentenced Monday for first-degree murder in Riley County District Court may now try to withdraw his guilty plea. He faces sentencing on Wednesday.
Hunter Logan Smith, 25, was supposed to receive his sentence Monday afternoon, but the hearing was postponed following a 45-minute recess for Smith to speak with his attorney.
Trey Bryant, chief public defender, said he needs additional time to discuss with his client whether to proceed with sentencing or withdraw his plea, and requested Judge Kendra Lewison grant a continuance to facilitate that discussion.
