The sentencing of Carpentersville Trustee Paul Humpfer was delayed yet again today.
Humpfer was originally charged in August 2007 of hitting his wife twice with a baseball bat in May 2007. He was found guilty of the crime on March 5, 2008, and faces up to a year in jail for the crime.
Today’s delay marks the third time since the conviction that the sentencing has been delayed.
Humpfer retained his elected position after fellow Board allies created an ordinance declaring that the domestic incident was not serious enough to warrant his resignation or removal from office.
Supporters have maintained that Humpfer was justified in threatening, attacking and striking his wife with a baseball bat because of alleged reports that his wife had cheated on him.
A 2005 domestic incident required Humpfer’s wife, Jacqueline, to seek medical treatment for a cracked rib and bruised tailbone, according to reports.
