Fourteen months after a date was set for the third penalty trial of the admitted killer of a Haddon Heights police officer, the case is back in limbo.

Jury selection was to begin next week in Camden for Leslie Nelson, a transsexual who pleaded guilty to the April 1995 murders of Haddon Heights patrolman John Norcross and Camden County Prosecutor's investigator John McLaughlin.

The current block to the trial reportedly is a failure by the state Attorney General's Office to name a prosecutor for the case.
