Murdaugh murder retrial moved to new venue with past testimony and DNA review allowed

A South Carolina judge granted a change of venue for Alex Murdaugh’s double-murder retrial, moving proceedings from Colleton County and allowing jurors to hear his earlier testimony, while also authorizing independent DNA testing of Maggie Murdaugh’s fingernails. The judge indicated she will designate the new host county in a formal order, noting the 2023 conviction was overturned by the state Supreme Court due to pretrial publicity and misconduct by a county clerk.

"James Crumbley Seeks Change of Venue for Fair Trial in Oxford HS Shooting Case"

James Crumbley, facing trial for involuntary manslaughter charges related to the 2021 school shooting carried out by his son, is seeking a change of venue, arguing that it's impossible to seat an unbiased jury in Oakland County due to widespread media coverage and the impact of his wife's recent conviction. His lawyer contends that the public has already convicted him, and requests additional opportunities to strike jurors during selection. The defense also criticizes the prosecutor's media interviews and narratives, while maintaining that the parents never thought their son was homicidal or a threat.

Trump's Lawyers Seek to Move Hush-Money Trial to Federal Court to Avoid Muzzle

Donald Trump is seeking to move his criminal case from New York State Supreme Court to federal court, according to one of his lawyers. The effort to move the case to federal court is likely a long shot and will not have any immediate effect on the state case. Requests for a change of venue are rarely granted in criminal cases, and the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, whose office brought the case against Mr. Trump, will undoubtedly oppose the former president’s effort if necessary.
