Oral arguments in the case of a former Ovid resident whose telephone calls were recorded by police as part of a 1985 murder investigation have been delayed.
Acting Seneca County Judge Daniel Doyle was scheduled Tuesday to hear a request by Doug Zammett to see the contents of those calls. The case was adjourned to May 28.
Acting District Attorney Mark Sinkiewicz said he was prepared to argue the case. After court Tuesday, he said Zammett — who filed court papers on his own — may be hiring an attorney for the oral arguments.
