A sentencing hearing for the homeless man who trashed the Fredericton Public Library downtown last fall was postponed this week after concerns arose about his mental state.

Kelly Gordon Kleim, 30, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty last month to numerous charges, including a destructive break-in at the main branch of the Fredericton Public Library on Sept. 30.
