BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A federal judge on Thursday delayed the trial of serial bombing suspect Eric Rudolph until next year, ruling his lawyers needed more time to prepare.
U.S. District Judge Lynwood Smith tentatively set opening arguments for May 24.

"The sheer volume of discovery that still must be organized and assimilated by defense counsel is staggering," Smith wrote.

The trial had been set to start Aug. 2, but the defense requested the delay. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

"We are ready to start this trial, and we regret that the victims and their families have to endure further delay in their journey for justice," U.S. Attorney Alice Martin said.

Rudolph is charged with setting off a bomb outside a Birmingham abortion clinic on Jan. 29, 1998, killing a police officer and critically injuring a nurse.

He was arrested last year after five years as a fugitive.

He also will stand trial later in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic park bombing, which killed a woman, and a pair of bombings in the Atlanta area in 1997.
