Speedy trial, change of venue motions filed in Kentucky murder case

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.

LATEST KENTUCKY NEWS:

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.
