Following former state Sen. Brian Kelsey’s request to withdraw his guilty plea in a federal campaign finance case, the judge overseeing the matter has canceled a sentencing hearing set for March 28. The prosecution now has an April 14 to respond to Kelsey's motion to withdraw his plea, the Tennessean reports. Kelsey's co-defendant, Joshua Smith, asked the court to delay his sentencing as well while the Kelsey situation is decided. The judge agreed to postpone that hearing as well.
