BROWN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – A Friday extradition hearing for the man convicted Thursday of a Brown County murder has been canceled.
Court records show George Burch is facing a heroin possession charge in Hampton, Virginia, having admitted on the witness stand that he was on probation in Virginia for grand larceny when he came to Green Bay in 2016.
A Virginia trial was scheduled for March 24, 2016.
Burch says a probation violation could land him in prison for five years, citing that for not reporting what he claimed happened to Nicole VanderHeyden.
The Brown County conviction carries a mandatory life sentence, with a sentencing hearing to determine if he is eligible for parole set for May 4.
