Autopsy results force delay in Williamsburg murder trial

A Whitley Circuit Judge agreed Monday afternoon to postpone the Jan. 13 trial of a Williamsburg man, who is charged with murder in the 2015 death of his former stepfather, in part because autopsy results showed that the victim died of natural causes.

William "Creed" Keisling, 42, was initially charged with attempted murder in connection with the Feb. 24 stabbing of Sidney L. Satterfield, 59. The charge was upgraded to murder after Satterfield died on March 2, only hours after being released from the hospital.
