{Charleston, West Virginia}...The sentencing of former Upper Big Branch Mine superintendent Gary May has been delayed as the government continues its criminal investigation of the April 2010 explosion that killed 29 miners. May has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the federal government and is cooperating with prosecutors in a continuing investigation. Prosecutors say the government needs more time to develop the extent of May's cooperation. Sentencing was originally set for October, but has been pushed to mid-January.
