MONROE - Sentencing for a Brodhead man convicted in January of killing his 2-month-old son was postponed again Tuesday after the court learned his lawyer hasn't seen all the trial transcripts.
Casey J. Shelton, 33, was convicted of first-degree reckless homicide Jan. 17 in the death of his son, Christopher, Feb. 28, 2007, at a Decatur township residence. He faces up to 40 years in prison and 20 years extended supervision.
The court scheduled a June 15 status hearing for the case.
Shelton's attorney, Katherine Findley, told Green County Court Judge James Beer she had four of the five days of trial transcripts. The court learned the final trial transcript has been completed and was sent to Findley last month. She said she hasn't received it.
Findley told the court she needed to see all of the transcripts to adequately represent Shelton at a sentencing hearing.
After Findley receives the transcripts, the court will schedule a sentencing hearing.
In a second case, Shelton is charged with two counts of child abuse, one a class G felony and the other a class H felony. He faces up to 16 years in prison and up to $25,000, if convicted.
Shelton is charged with child abuse in connection to injuries sustained by his son, Christopher's twin brother, Charles, in 2007.
Shelton remains jailed. His bond was revoked after a the jury found him guilty Jan. 17.
