A preliminary hearing in a second-degree murder case involving the son of a Kansas sheriff has been postponed again.

The hearing for Scott Weigel had been scheduled for Monday in Lincoln County District, but it was rescheduled to Dec. 12. The 33-year-old Weigel is charged in the Sept. 9 shooting death of 21-year-old Keith Ancell of Lincoln. Weigel is being held on $750,000 bond.

The hearing was first postponed in September.

Darrell E. Miller, acting Lincoln County attorney, asked the court to delay Weigel’s preliminary hearing during a proceeding Monday afternoon.

Weigel’s lawyer, Roger Struble, said the motion was faxed to his office Monday.

Weigel is the son of Lincoln County Sheriff Mike Weigel.
