A Costa Mesa man accused of murdering his wife of 50 years last month has postponed entering a plea until December.
Kenneth Joseph Leake, 75, was charged with murder Thursday, nearly a month after police said he shot his wife, Doris, 72, in the head in their home on Orange Street.
Doris clung to life for weeks before dieing Oct. 8 due to swelling in the brain from her wounds. Prosecutors said she was shot four times in the head and once in the wrist Sept. 17.
