The trials for two men accused of robbing and killing Clinton tavern manager Pamela Widner in January will be delayed. In court Tuesday, the trial of 37-year-old George Prentiss of Clinton was moved from September to December 3rd as his co-counsel is moving to Ireland. A new co-counsel will be appointed. The attorney for the other suspect says he has a conflict of interest with one of the witnesses, so the trial for 45-year-old Robert Jackson of Clinton was moved from this week to October while a new lawyer is appointed. Jackson and Prentiss are being held in the Clinton County Jail under one million dollars bond each.
