BRUNSWICK, Ga. — UPDATE 2: The sentencing hearings were reset to accommodate the federal prosecutor who will be out of town, but they will still happen in August.
All three hearings are scheduled for Aug. 8. Tavis McMichael will be sentenced at 10 a.m., Greg McMichael at 1 p.m. and William "Roddie" Bryan at 3 p.m.
All three hearings will take place in Courtroom No. 1 at the Brunswick federal courthouse before Judge Lisa G. Wood.
UPDATE: Shortly after the hearing dates were set Tuesday, the federal prosecutor on the case requested the sentencing be pushed back because she will be out of the area on Aug. 1.
Her filing to extend the dates says the defense attorneys "do not object" to pushing back the dates, indicating the hearings will actually be held at a later date.
