Stauch preliminary trial rescheduled

A judge on Wednesday agreed to postpone a key court hearing for the woman accused of murdering her stepson 11-year-old Gannon Stauch after granting her request for new court-appointed lawyers.

Letecia Stauch was ordered to appear Sept. 9 for her preliminary hearing, which had been set for this month.

Fourth Judicial District Judge Gregory Werner approved the delay after granting Stauch’s request for a new legal team. Stauch, who stunned onlookers this year when she announced she intended to serve as her attorney, made an about-face last month and again asked for new legal representation, saying she couldn’t work with her public defenders and wanted new lawyers.
