Mistrial declared for four defendants in Kevin Quick trial. They will face trial later this year: http://www.newsplex.com/home/headlines/Mistrial-Declared-for-Four-Defendants-in-Kevin-Quick-Trial-303428281.html
WAYNESBORO, Va. (AP) - A published report says court records identify the defendant who obtained a jury pool list for the trial of six people charged in the slaying of Waynesboro Police Reserve Officer Kevin Quick.
The incident prompted a judge to declare a mistrial for all six defendants this week.
Transcripts obtained by The News-Virginian and The Daily Progress show Travis Bell obtained the list. The News-Virginian (http://bit.ly/1Hj0ZmP ) says the transcripts are of a May 7 meeting between U.S. District Judge Glen Conrad and lawyers for both sides.
The newspaper says the transcripts also show that Bell and co-defendant Gert Wright recruited gang members while in jail.
Bell and three co-defendants are charged with killing 45-year-old Kevin Quick in 2014. Wright and a sixth co-defendant are charged with racketeering and obstruction of justice.
One of the suspects, Halisi Uhuru, has now filed a motion for change of venue. Uhuru's defense council says negative media coverage about Uhuru's alleged gang connection will make it impossible to get a fair trial in the Charlottesville district. Defense council is suggesting Roanoke or Richmond for a new venue.
Following the mistrial, the judge said both the prosecution and defense have until June to file all motions and responses dealing with where the trial will be held, as well as securing jury anonymity. A hearing on the motions is set for July 18 in Roanoke.
