The
sentencing of a former Mingo
County
Michael Thornsbury was scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 13. Court
documents show that U.S. District Judge Thomas E. Johnston on Monday granted a
prosecution request to delay the proceeding.
Thornsbury's sentencing is now set for April 21, 2014.
Federal prosecutors sought the delay to given them more time to
investigate information Thornsbury provided in a corruption probe.
Thornsbury pleaded guilty in October to a federal conspiracy
charge and resigned from the bench.
He faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
