Sheley wants next trial moved out of Whiteside
Attorney cities news coverage, ‘community outrage’
MORRISON – Twice-convicted killer Nicholas T. Sheley wants to move his next murder trial out of Whiteside County.
This week, his attorney, Jeremy Karlin, filed a request for a change of venue, contending pretrial publicity and “community outrage” would taint the jury pool and prevent Sheley from getting a fair trial. Sheley is accused of murdering four people in a Rock Falls apartment in late June 2008.
Change-of-venue requests were denied for Sheley’s two previous trials.
