The pretrial hearing for Syracuse University student Timothy J. Ginocchetti, which was to take place at 4p.m. today, has been waved to the grand jury, representatives from the Onondaga County District Attorney’s office said.

Ginocchetti is charged with second-degree murder for allegedly stabbing his mother to death on Aug. 23, police said.

Manlius police found the body of Pamela Ginocchetti inside the home at 11:30 p.m., after Ginocchetti, a senior civil engineering major, called 911. During that call, Ginocchetti admitted to emergency dispatchers that he killed his mother, that she was covered in blood and that he was alone with her.

It is unknown if Ginocchetti is still set to appear in court Thursday.
