The postponement came after a doctor who will be testifying as to Day’s capability to be incarcerated was unable to attend on the previous date. A rrangem ents have been m ade for the d o c to r to appear by phone at the Sept. 8 conference. The case has been set with open sentencing, in which the judge will decide • whether jail time should be included in the sentencing, but he needs to know the parameters of the medical con d itio n before he can make a judgment, said Allen.
