Sentencing reset

Sentencing for a 17-year-old suspect in a stabbing death last year has been rescheduled for next month.

William Goodbody, who pleaded guilty in January to second-degree murder, was originally set to be sentenced Monday, but that has been rescheduled to 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 2, according to the Bourbon County District Court Clerk's office.

Goodbody, who was 16 at the time of the offense, was arrested in May 2011 in connection with the killing of 23-year-old James C. Enloe. Goodbody was taken into custody, transported to the Southeast Kansas Juvenile Detention Center in Girard and charged with second-degree murder.

District Judge Mark Ward accepted Goodbody's plea in January and ordered pre-dispositional and pre-sentence investigation reports be completed before sentencing. These are done prior to sentencing to determine the juvenile's criminal history and where the crime falls on a sentencing grid.

The Bourbon County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to Hidden Valley Lake, a private recreational development near Mapleton, the evening of May 21 after a report of a disturbance. Officers arrived shortly after 9 p.m. and found Enloe with several stab wounds to his body. Enloe was transported to Mercy Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A continuance was granted in the case last September. Assistant County Attorney Valorie Leblanc is the prosecutor on the case. Goodbody's attorney is Gil Gregory.

No bond has been set and the defendant will continue to be detained at the SEKJDC in Girard until his sentencing.

Enloe was a graduate of Jayhawk-Linn High School.
