Suspended former Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman was set to go on trial Tuesday, but the Sandusky Register reports that the case has been continued.
Police said Thurman slugged a man and broke his jaw at Kalahari Resort - an indoor water park in northern Ohio - last spring.
Thurman's attorney says it's a case of mistaken identity. The trial was delayed because Thurman's attorney told a judge Thurman was in his hometown of Monticello, Ga., when the fight happened.
Prosecutors say Kalahari security video shows Thurman at the resort the day of the incident. Thurman's lawyer says the video shows a man who "fits the description" of Thurman, but is not Thurman.
The continuance gives prosecutors time to investigate Thurman's alibi.
