The case against George Zimmerman will resume in October, according to new court documents.
Judge Kenneth Lester has agreed to the defense's request to postpone the case until Wednesday, October 3, at 8:30 a.m.
Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder for shooting and killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February.
He remains free on $1 million bond. Zimmerman's current location has been kept a well-guarded secret, though he is forbidden to leave Seminole County while he awaits his eventual trial, and the Seminole County Jail is monitoring his whereabouts to make sure he stays in the county.
The latest update in the case comes as Trayvon Martin's mother said she is seeking money from a state fund that helps crime victims in Florida.
Sybrina Fulton has applied for victim compensation benefits, according to public records.
State officials and an attorney for Martin's parents would not immediately say how much they are seeking.
Money for the fund comes from court fees paid by offenders, as well as other sources.
