SYCAMORE – Janey O’Connor will leave Sycamore knowing no more about the fate of her stepfather than she knew when she came.

O’Connor, the stepdaughter of Jack McCullough, flew in from Seattle to offer support during McCullough’s scheduled sentencing hearing Friday, but the hearing was delayed after pre-sentence reports failed to make it to defense attorneys in time. McCullough will now be sentenced Dec. 10 at 10 a.m.

For O’Connor, whatever sentence is handed down will in essence be a lifetime term for her stepfather, which is why she is hoping his appeal will be successful.
