The defense team argued, in its motion filed on March 13, that due to the widespread media coverage of Casey White’s escape, a jury in the area would not be impartial.
The motion claimed it would take a resident living without electricity or communication to not know a significant amount of information about Casey White.
The motion claimed social media generated significant interest in Casey White. The motion mentioned celebrities talking about the event on social media including actor Rainn Wilson tweeting a story link. According to Casey White’s legal team, the sixth and 14th amendments protect his right to be tried by a panel of impartial jurors. The defense team also noted that Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure state that in any criminal case prosecuted by indictment or on appeal in which a jury is needed, the defendant should be entitled to a change of venue to the nearest county free from prejudice.White’s murder trial is set to begin June 12.Copyright 2023 WAFF.
