NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) A Nashville judge has postponed the trial of two former Vanderbilt football players who were convicted of rape but ordered to be retried.
Former players Brandon Vandenburg and Cory Batey had been scheduled to be retried Nov. 30. A Nashville judge granted a request Monday for the delay over objections from prosecutors, who said the victim had already been through one trial and had set time aside in November for the retrial.
Criminal Court Judge Monte Watkins agreed that new lawyers hired by Vandenburg needed more time to prepare.
