SALT LAKE CITY - Numerous hours of secretly recorded video and audio taken by undercover FBI agents has bogged down the case of a Utah militia group leader accused of trying to blow up a federally owned cabin.

A trial date for William Keebler was pushed back indefinitely Friday after his attorney said he had only reviewed a fraction of the recorded evidence.

Lawyer Lynn Donaldson agreed to scrap a September trial date even though his client is jailed while awaiting the proceeding.

Utah has a bad habit of cases being tossed because the speedy trail rules. This is nothing new it seems in recent years.
