Petition Seeks Change of Venue in Sier Case

Murphy, charged with manslaughter and assault in Ronnie Sier's death, be moved from Frederick County due to local prejudice after repeated Frederick News and Post coverage. The court will rule on transferring jurisdiction, with speculation of a move to Maryland's Eastern Shore.
