WILSON (AP) - A special prosecutor will be assigned to take over a controversial murder case against a man whose supporters say he was wrongly accused and have mounted a campaign on his behalf.
James Johnson had been scheduled for trial today. But his supporters - including family, community leaders, NAACP officials and lawyers - have raised questions about the state's evidence against him.
A spokeswoman says the state Attorney General's Office will assist in lining up a special prosecutor, who could come from another county.
Johnson, 21, has been in jail for more than three years awaiting trial in the death of Brittany Willis, who was killed just days after her high school graduation.

DOVER, Del. (AP) - Police arrested an 18-year-old in the shooting of two students at Delaware State University, authorities said Monday. As they led him into a courthouse, he told reporters: "I'm sorry."
Loyer D. Braden, arrested about 3 a.m. in his dorm room, was charged with attempted murder, assault and reckless endangerment, as well as a gun charge.
A justice of the peace ordered the Delaware State freshman from East Orange, N.J., to stay away from the victims and Delaware State.
Braden was also accused of firing at a third student, James Richmond. The shootings followed a fight Tuesday between Braden and one of the victims in a university parking lot, according to a university police affidavit.
University officials, who had assured the campus community during the weekend that the gunman was not on campus, could not explain how or when Braden returned to his dorm room.
