CALDWELL, Idaho — On Wednesday, Delbert Cornish appeared in court for the first time since being arrested for the murder of his 18-year-old adopted daughter in Caldwell last month.

The hearing lasted just a few minutes, but it was clear this case is far from over. The judge granted a continuance, pushing the contested hearing back to Sept. 17 at 8:30 a.m.

The judge made it clear he's blocking off the entire day for the case, indicating the complexity of the proceedings ahead.

Prosecutors told the court they're still going through evidence, and some of what they've reviewed could support an additional charge against Cornish.
