Next sentencing hearing delayed for killer Duncan

Convicted child killer Joseph Edward Duncan III was sentenced to death last month for the 2005 kidnapping, sexual abuse and murder of 9-year-old Dylan Groene.
BOISE, Idaho —

Convicted child killer Joseph Edward Duncan III was sentenced to death last month for the 2005 kidnapping, sexual abuse and murder of 9-year-old Dylan Groene.

But he has yet to be sentenced on seven other federal charges related to aspects of his crimes against Dylan and Dylan's sister, Shasta Groene.

He faces up to life in prison kidnapping, and two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a minor. He faces a sentence of up to 10 years in prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm, transporting a stolen firearm, possessing an unregistered firearm and transporting a stolen vehicle.

U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge originally scheduled the sentencing date for Oct. 15, but postponed it until Nov. 3 to accommodate the schedules of the attorneys involved in the case.
