Craig Titus sentence hearing postponed

October 14, 2008 - 11:04 am

A judge today postponed a hearing for former champion body-builder Craig Titus, who is seeking to have his prison sentence reduced.

District Judge Jackie Glass postponed the hearing until Nov. 18 because authorities didn’t transport Titus from the prison to the courthouse.

Titus' attorney is asking for about four years to be knocked off his sentence because he believes Glass agreed to sentence Titus to 17 years after pleading guilty to second-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping and first-degree arson.
