Alyssa Middleton Requests Venue Change for Trial Amid Fairness Concerns
Alyssa Middleton, a 19-year-old EMT, has pleaded not guilty to charges of voluntary manslaughter, aggravated vehicular homicide, and leaving the scene of an accident causing death. Her defense team has filed a motion to change the venue of her trial, citing concerns over the ability to have a fair trial due to public knowledge of the case's location. The prosecution is in the process of obtaining a medical examiner's report, which the defense argues is crucial for the fairness of the trial. A status conference is scheduled for September 11, but it may occur sooner if the report is received.
