WINDER, Ga. (Court TV) — An accused school shooter will not have his trial in Atlanta, Georgia, after both sides agreed to move it to another location.
Colt Gray, 16, appeared in a Barrow County courtroom on Thursday for the first time in six months. During the status conference, his defense attorney, Charlton Allen, brought up his motion to move the teenager’s trial out of the Atlanta metro area, citing the heavy media presence. The prosecution had no objection.
Judge Nicholas Primm agreed to allow the venue change, but told the court that he received “radio silence” after contacting a few other locations. Primm mentioned that Columbia County was a leading contender for the trial, which he said should happen some time in the fall, later noting the middle of October was a possibility.
