Highland County Common Pleas Court Judge Rocky Coss has ordered that the second trial for Wesley Coonrod be moved to Pickaway County.
During a hearing held Nov. 5 in Highland County Common Pleas Court, defense attorney William Mooney asked that the court consider the venue change, saying that the amount of media attention the first trial received would make it difficult to seat a jury and difficult for Coonrod to have a fair second trial.
Mooney had made a similar motion prior to the first trial, which the court denied.
