NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP) - The murder trial of Davarious Clemons scheduled for this week was postponed because of a scheduling conflict with the court.

Adams County District Attorney Ronnie Harper tells The Natchez Democrat (http://bitly.com/TekTmq ) it's not uncommon for the court to schedule multiple cases for the same day, and if 1 of the cases on the docket moves forward then the others have to be bumped.

In Clemons' case, the trial was delayed because a civil trial before Judge Forrest Johnson started first.

Harper said the case has not yet been rescheduled.

Clemons is accused of fatally shooting 30-year-old Cedric Morgan during a botched robbery.
