Monday's court appearance for a woman convicted of killing her autistic child in a house fire was adjourned due to a scheduling conflict, officials said.
Cayuga County Chief Assistant District Attorney Christopher Valdina said a re-sentencing hearing for Michelle Davis, 45, would be moved to this Friday.

The hearing will decide if Davis, who already served a prison sentence for first-degree manslaughter and second-degree arson, can be sent back to prison because Judge Peter Corning forgot to add state mandated post-release supervision to her sentence in 2000.
