By rssfeeds-admin FLOYD COUNTY, Ky. (FOX 56) — A pair of motions were filed on Wednesday, which may throw a wrench in a Kentucky murder trial.
A motion for a speedy trial and a motion for a change of venue were filed around 2 p.m. on Wednesday in Floyd County Circuit Court on behalf of Michael McKinney III.
McKinney III was charged with murder in July 2024, accused of stabbing Amber Spradlin to death.
In a change of venue motion, McKinney III’s counsel said due to “continuous and widespread gossip, innuendo, and social media campaigns,” he would not receive a fair and impartial trial in Floyd County.
According to a motion for a speedy trial, McKinney III’s attorney said waiting for the Kentucky State Police to test evidence isn’t his fault and keeping him in jail during the entire process is a violation of state law.
