Lawyers for a former police officer charged with the murder of Olio Birchmore have formally asked for the trial to be moved out of state. The defense argues a fair trial cannot be guaranteed in the current jurisdiction, likely citing pretrial publicity. The request puts the court in a position of weighing venue logistics against the defendant's right to an impartial jury.
