Suspect's preliminary hearing postponed

The scheduled July 30 preliminary examination of first degree child abuse against Chadwick Damon of Marshall was adjourned Monday in Calhoun County's 10th District Court at the request of court appointed attorney Mark Webb of Marshall. Webb said Monday he asked for the delay to give him time to go over police reports, etc. No new date was set and no new charges have been filed against Damon though police and an assistant prosecutor said earlier that they expect Damon to be charged in connection with the little girl's death that occurred July 17, five days after Damon called 911 to his South Kalamazoo Avenue home where the girl was found unresponsive.
