A Winona County murder case might still be moved to another Minnesota county, because of pre-trial publicity.

Fravel

The attorney for Adam Fravel is seeking the change of venue, following extensive media coverage of the disappearance last March of his ex-girlfriend, Madeline Kingsbury. Madeline’s body was found in June, and Fravel was arrested the same week.

Meanwhile, the Winona County prosecutor wants to restrict public access to information from grand jury transcripts, to prevent some evidence from being made public before a trial.

Two pre-trial hearings for Fravel are scheduled on March 19th and 20th before a Winona judge.
