Man accused of killing, dismembering girlfriend waives hearing
11:17 a.m. EDT, August 11, 2011
A Bethlehem man accused of killing his girlfriend and dismembering her body in June gave up his right to a preliminary hearing Thursday morning.
William J. Ward, 45, appeared before District Judge David J. Howells Jr. for only a few minutes to sign the paperwork that sent his case to Lehigh County Court.
From the moment sheriff's deputies brought Ward into the courtroom, sobs from the relatives of Trisha Sadler filled the courtroom. They did not wish to speak after the hearing.
