A Kanawha County judge on Monday postponed the sentencing hearing of Steven Craig Coleman, who allegedly gave a woman a dose of heroin that killed her last year.
Coleman's hearing is now scheduled for July 18 at 11 a.m. in the courtroom of Kanawha Circuit Judge Jennifer Bailey.
Prosecutors had originally charged Coleman with murder for the death of Melody Ann Oxley on Feb. 14, 2015.
Coleman pleaded guilty to a felony drug charge and a involuntary manslaughter misdemeanor in April. As part of his plea deal, prosecutors dropped the murder charge against him.
Coleman faces a maximum one-year sentence for the manslaughter charge and a one- to three-year sentence for an attempt to deliver a controlled substance.
