Four people accused of torturing a 16-year-old boy are scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m. on Tuesday for further arraignment.
Kelly Layne Lau, 30; Carén Ramirez, 43; and Anthony Waiters, 29, pleaded not guilty last month. Lau’s husband Michael Schumacher, 34, is expected to enter a plea this week.
All four face charges of torture, aggravated mayhem and several charges of child abuse and endangerment.
Schumacher and Lau lived at a Tennis Lane home in Tracy, where police said a boy identified only as Kyle R. was chained to a fireplace and beaten with belts and baseball bats. He escaped from his alleged captors on Dec. 2, when he scaled a soundwall bordering the home and a health club.
The boy is now in state custody.
The arraignment will be held in Dept. 36 at the San Joaquin County Superior Court in Stockton
