A vigil ceremony was held in downtown Winona on Saturday to remember the life of Madeline Kingsbury.

Saturday was her birthday. Community members, family and friends honored her life while also bringing awareness to domestic violence.

Community holds vigil for Madeline Kingsbury

Dozens were gathered at Levee Park in Winona for a Vigil on what would have been Madeline’s 28th birthday.

Multiple organizations that helped victims and survivors of domestic violence worked together to bring this vigil together for Madeline’s family.

The organizations included The Advocacy Center of Winona, HOPE Coalition, Women’s Shelter and Support Center, and Bluff Country Family Resources.

“It’s a good chance for people to get together and celebrate her and remember her, and then just kind of talk about domestic violence as a whole because it kind of just feels like an invisible epidemic. It’s not talked about a lot, so it’s a good opportunity to do that,” Madeline’s sister Megan Kingsbury said.

For Madeline’s family and friends, it’s great to continue seeing community support them more than a year later.

Adam Fravel’s defense files arguments to move trial out of Winona County

On Friday, Fravel’s defense submitted a nine-page letter arguing why his trial should be moved out of Winona County.

www.kttc.com

In previous contested omnibus hearings, or pretrial business, the court heard arguments from both sides about motions. Fravel’s defense team is looking to suppress evidence and statements, as well as dismiss first-degree murder charges.

Winona County Judge Nancy Buytendorp has yet to make a ruling on any of the pretrial motions.

Attorneys for man accused of killing Maddi Kingsbury continue to push for change in venue

Adam Fravel's defense team claims that he couldn't get a fair trial due to media coverage, a public opinion survey and some material at Winona's Steamboat Days.

www.kare11.com

According to the motion, 98.5% of the people surveyed in an public opinion poll interacted with a news story and "formed an opinion" from those stories. The state argued that that poll, which was brought to the court through the defendant's briefing and in-person testimony back in April, that the poll was a "snapshot in time." The defense also included screenshots of reports they claim were "false or misleading."

The defense also said there was material during 2023 Steamboat Days, including during the parade, with statements like "Justice for Maddi."

"Based on the evidence submitted and the arguments in this memorandum and other briefing by Defendant on this issue, the Defendant respectfully requests that the Court find that there is reasonable likelihood fair trial cannot be had in Winona County given the prejudicial pretrial materials and publications in this case," the defense team concluded in Friday's motion.

Judge moves Madeline Kingsbury murder case out of Winona County

A Winona County District Court judge on Wednesday granted a motion to move Adam Fravel's murder trial out of the county, citing ongoing media coverage and public opinion

Buytendorp denied other motions from Fravel's attorneys to dismiss first-degree murder charges against him and suppress comments Fravel made to police several months before his arrest in June 2023. She also signed off on the prosecution's request to seek harsher sentencing for Fravel if he's convicted based on the deliberate concealment of Kingsbury's body, which was missing for several months.
