SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Sentencing for the man who planted a bomb at the Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade in Spokane has been delayed to Dec. 20.

Kevin Harpham had been scheduled for sentencing Wednesday in federal court.

The 37-year-old pleaded guilty and faces a prison term of 27-to-32 years.

A bomb loaded with lead weight shrapnel coated in rat poison was discovered before the parade last January and disabled before it could explode.
