The murder case I am writing about will definitely not be tried in the county where it occurred, Cass. No alternate site has been announced, but by the time the court date rolls around in February, a new location for the trial will have been determined.
I have also learned that the defense made a motion to remove the district judge who will preside over the case, Ralph Burgess. It seems Burgess was a member of the firm who represented the suspect's father -- then a deputy sheriff -- in his suit against the county when he thought he was fired illegally because of his alleged interference in the investigation. He advised his son not to take a lie detector test in the early hours following his initial arrest.
A judge denied the defense motion, but they are appealing. It seems weird that they would want to dismiss a judge who was in the firm that represented the suspect's father. Wonder what their reasoning was?
Anyway...more fodder for the book. Stay tuned.
Keep writing....
