A Pennsylvania court hearing in the case involving the man charged with murdering a local Amish woman who has been presumed dead after disappearing more than six months ago has been delayed, according to a recent report.
Justo Smoker’s preliminary hearing, which was set for Wednesday, was canceled and had not been rescheduled as of that day, LancasterOnline.com reported.
The purpose of the hearing was reportedly for Lancaster law enforcement to lay out the evidence they’ve uncovered so far to show that the suspect likely committed the crimes for which he was charged. It was not clear why the hearing had been postponed.

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., introduced two bills on Wednesday after high profile killings of Black Americans at the hands of police officers and growing calls for policy changes to prevent future violence.
During a virtual roundtable discussion, Casey announced the Law Enforcement Education and Accountability for People with Disabilities (LEAD) Initiative, to help bring about racial justice and address the high incidence rate of police violence involving people with disabilities. The LEAD Initiative is comprised of two bills â the Safe Interactions Act and the Human-services Emergency Logistic Program (HELP) Act â which would reduce calls to 9-1-1 call systems regarding non-criminal emergencies and provide robust training to law enforcement on interacting with people with disabilities, including those experiencing a mental health crisis.
