Geans was convicted of the murder by a jury in September. He was set to be sentenced in October, but the hearing was rescheduled because two witnesses who were supposed to testify on his behalf were hospitalized and unable to attend Geans’ sentencing.
The new sentencing hearing is scheduled for Dec. 4.
