Hearing Postponed For Fort Wayne Mayoral Candidate

Last updated on Monday, December 3, 2007

(FORT WAYNE) - A judge has postponed until early February a hearing on nine criminal indictments against defeated Fort Wayne mayoral candidate Matt Kelty.

Judge Kenneth Scheibenberger granted a request by both sides for more time. Special Prosecutor Daniel Sigler had sought more time to respond to a defense motion to dismiss the charges that argued Kelty did not break any laws. Kelty's attorneys, meanwhile, asked for more time to respond to Sigler's response.

A grand jury issued the indictments against Kelty in august, alleging that he improperly handled campaign contributions and lied in his testimony to the grand jury.
