Lawyers for Casey Cole White say news coverage of his escape last April with jailer Vicki White has “severely prejudiced” his case. The man, whose murder trial begins June 12, is asking for a change of venue from Lauderdale County.
Lawyers for Casey Cole White in a Monday court filing say national and international news coverage of his escape last April with jailer Vicki White has “severely prejudiced” his case.In a four-page motion, White’s lawyers mention news stories by new organizations, tweets by the actor Rainn Wilson, and a Facebook group with more than 50,000 members devoted to news about White and his escape last year with Vicki White, who was not related.
Having the trial in Lauderdale County, they argue, would violate his rights to a fair trial under the 6th and 14th Amendments. Vicki White took her own life with a gunshot to the head as police were closing in, according to authorities. Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connolly said Casey White was charged with felony murder because Vicki White’s death occurred during the commission of a felony – escaping from jail.
