The sentencing of convicted murderer Adam Joseph Longoria that was originally set for June 8 has been rescheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 26 in Barton County District Court, in was announced Wednesday.
In May, the sentencing for the man convicted of capital murder in the death of Great Bend teenager Alicia Debolt was postponed.
Barton County District Judge Hannelore Kitts on Tuesday issued the order to continue the hearing date. According to Ron Keefover with the Kansas Judicial Office, the continuance was granted because of a scheduling conflict.  
Longoria, 38, was found guilty of DeBolt’s death in April. DeBolt disappeared the night of Aug. 21, 2010.
The 14-year-old girl’s charred remains were found three days later at an asphalt plant near Dundee where Longoria had worked. Longoria was also found guilty of criminal sodomy, aggravated criminal sodomy, attempted rape and vehicular burglary and theft in his jury trial.
Although he was convicted of capital murder, the state did not seek the death penalty. Under state sentencing guidelines, Longoria  could be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
