Lee Davis IV aka Jimmy Davis
Janice Summerford
( KNZA )--A new sentencing date has been set for a Hiawatha man convicted of second-degree murder in the March beating death of his 4-year-old son.
Despite objections from Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill, District Court Judge Jim Patton today ( Friday ) granted a request by the attorney for 27-year-old Lee Davis IV for a continuance, and rescheduled sentencing for June 28th.
Davis pleaded no contest in late April to the amended charge of second-degree murder and felony child abuse. He had originally been charged with first-degree murder.
Davis’ live-in girlfriend, 28-year-old Janice Summerford, is also charged in the case with aiding and abetting murder in the 2nd degree, aiding and abetting felony child abuse and obstructing apprehension or prosecution.
A preliminary hearing for Summerford is set for June 14th.
Both remain in the Brown County Jail.
