A hearing has been postponed for a Delaware County man who pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of a woman killed by a piece of shrapnel from a homemade cannon. The hearing for 31 year old Max Fenton of Greeley, was scheduled for Tuesday in Iowa District Court for Delaware County, but it was postponed after Judge Alan Heavens filed an order recusing himself Tuesday. Fenton illegally fired an improvised cannon made from the sawed-off barrel of a black powder rifle on July 2, 2016. The cannon exploded, and a piece of shrapnel struck 55-year-old Lori Heims in the head, killing her. A new date for the hearing has not been set.
