Roy Inge Junior was supposed to go on trial November 4th for the murder of Pittsylvania County deputy Frankie Betterton.
But defense attorneys said they wouldn't be prepared because a mental evaluation is not yet complete.
The judge in the case agreed and set a new trial date of February Third.
Defense attorneys still hope to move the trial out of Pittsylvania County, but the judge said he'll try to seat a jury before making that decision.
