Murder trial to stay in Johnson County
Accused serial killer John E. Robinson will remain in Johnson County for trial. Judge John Anderson II rejected a venue change, saying jurors can be fair despite heavy media coverage and noting a possible venue shift if impartial jurors cannot be found during selection. Robinson, 58, of Olathe, faces capital murder charges in two 2000 Linn County deaths and one 1985 unsolved case, with Missouri prosecutors planning separate trials for three Cass County deaths.
