It will now be May before a 47-year-old Peter Fonteece will know his fate.
The Waterloo man was in a Thunder Bay courtroom on yesterday to face a possible jail term in connection with the death of his wife in a city motel room a year ago.
However the judge postponed sentencing.
Fonteece was convicted of criminal negligence causing death.
The crown says his failure to call for help after his wife Yanisa took 40 sleeping pills warrants jail.
