The Public Defender has filed a last minute motion to continue convicted murderer Jake Combs' sentencing which had been scheduled for tomorrow. The motion was on calendar for this morning. It was granted by Judge Kaleb Cockrum but only after some words for Deputy Public Defender Ben McLaughlin about making a written motion his priority and that the the late filing is not the preferred way. Judge Cockrum said that at the time sentencing was set, time was not waived, there should have been notice and that this defense filing affects other people involved. Combs waived time today. Ms. Timm said the motion filed yesterday was one day before sentencing, did not have good cause and that Combs had previously indicated that he was going to write an apology to Earley's family.
There were some deadlines given by Judge Cockrum and Deputy District Attorney Whitney Timm agreed to turn in her reply to the motion in a short time so that sentencing could be done a week earlier to accomodate Earley's family. 12 people were in court which included Trevor Earley's family. Sentencing and hearing on motion for new trial was continued to October 6.
