Posted: Updated:

By Kody Leibowitz - email

GEORGETOWN, Del. - The case review for both Doctor Melvin Morse and his wife, Pauline, scheduled for this morning have been postponed until February 6th.

Their trial is set to start just five days later.

Police say the Milton pediatrician waterboarded his 11-year-old stepdaughter at least four times since 2009, while the girl's mother stood by and did nothing to stop the abuse.
