A court filing seeking a new trial caused a judge to postpone sentencing Wednesday for the Rev. Raleigh Trammell, the former Southern Christian Leadership Conference official convicted of stealing taxpayer money intended to help the poor.

There was no word from the judge as to when the appeal would be dealt with or when sentencing would be rescheduled.

On June 1, a Montgomery County Common Pleas jury convicted Trammell on all 51 counts against him in. The trial judge did not revoke Trammell's bond, so he has remained free until the sentencing.

Trammell, 74, faced 51 felony counts stemming from the alleged thefts, all from a home-delivered meals service run from the SCLC Dayton chapter’s headquarters.
