CHESAPEAKE, Va. (AP) -- The trial of a man accused of killing a Mormon missionary in Virginia and wounding another has been delayed until November.
The trial of James Boughton Jr. was scheduled to begin Friday in Chesapeake. The 21-year-old is charged with fatally shooting Morgan Young, 21, of Utah, and wounding 19-year-old Joshua Heidbrink of Colorado in January 2006.
Broughton's attorney, Andrew Sacks, says a judge granted him a postponement until Nov. 10 after learning of new evidence.
Heidbrink has said that he and Young were going door-to-door when they heard a shot and saw a man running toward them.
The man shot him. Then Heidbrink saw Young on his knees looking up at the shooter, heard a pop and saw Young fall forward.
