MIAMI -- A Miami judge has postponed the trial of four men accused in the slaying of Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor until August.Defense attorneys and prosecutors said Friday they weren't prepared for trial to begin April 7 as initially planned. Circuit Judge Dennis Murphy rescheduled the case for Aug. 25.Taylor, an All-Pro safety, was shot during a botched robbery attempt at his Miami home in November.
