A San Joaquin County judge has pushed back the trial date for four people charged with holding captive and torturing a teenage boy in a Tracy home.

   The trial is now set to begin on Oct. 12. It had been set for Feb. 1, but the attorney for Kelly Lau asked for more time to prepare.

   Lau, her husband Michael Schumacher, the 16-year-old boy's one-time guardian Caren Ramirez and the couple's neighbor Anthony Waiters face charges of aggravated mayhem, torture and false imprisonment.

   Authorities say the teenager was held in the couple's home for more than a year before he escaped to a nearby fitness center last December. According to court documents, he told police he had been shackled to a fireplace grate, beaten with a baseball bat, choked with a belt and denied food for days at a time.
