The father of the suspected Apalachee High School shooter says he cannot receive a fair trial in Barrow County, claiming the case’s high-profile nature has biased local jurors against him.

Gray’s attorney, Brian Hobbs, argued for a county that isn’t close to Barrow, where he argues people have seen less media coverage.

Prosecutors agreed to a change in venue but argued everyone in Georgia has seen coverage of the case, and a venue closer to Barrow County would cut down on transportation and other associated court costs.
