Brown's three attorneys, Michael Massie, Andrew Sacks and Nathan Chapman, say they want the witness testimony excluded from the case, claiming the witness was intoxicated.
Brown's attorneys say the Commonwealth just handed over the nearly 200-page document over the weekend, a couple of days before the hearing.
"We’re disturbed by the continuance. We got some evidence that was received Saturday. Its their witness in the case, there only witness. They had previously made allegations that the witness was the eye witness to the murder, alleging that my client confessed to him in somebody’s house," Massie said.
"We’re disappointed with the ruling of the court regarding the evidence that was handed to us in this late hour," Chapman said.
20-year old Jahari George was a junior at NSU majoring in engineering.
"They have stolen him from his family and world," Jahari's father said.

In court, George’s family was emotional. They mentioned there's not a day that goes by where they don’t think about their son.
""This is not anything that I would wish on anybody. This pain is something that’s indescribable and unfair. Jahari’s legacy will live on far beyond this. They may have taken his body. But his spirit is too bright for this," Teanna George, Jahari’s George's mother said.
