A hearing for DragonCon founder Edward Kramer, accused of molesting three teenage boys, was canceled Wednesday after his attorneys withdrew a motion to dismiss the case.

The case has languished for 11 years, but Kramer has been out of jail on bond most of that time. Kramer's lawyers say he can't stand trial, because a degenerative spinal injury makes it hard for him to sit, stand or breathe. Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Karen Byers offered to accommodate him with an orthopedic chair and three breaks a day at a 2009 hearing. However, the case was delayed again when no agreement could be reached.
