Colt Gray, the 14-year-old suspect in the deadly Apalachee High School shooting on September 4, is seeking a change of venue for his trial, citing extensive pre-trial publicity and bias among potential jurors in Barrow County. His attorneys argue that both he and his father, Colin Gray, who faces separate charges, cannot receive a fair trial in their home county due to strong public sentiment against them. The motion highlights the significant media coverage surrounding the case and the pre-existing opinions of local residents, which could impede the selection of an impartial jury.
