A Louisiana woman charged in the death of a boy whose body was found last year inside a suitcase in rural southern Indiana is seeking a change of venue, arguing that public outrage over the child's death would prevent her from getting a fair trial.
Dawn Coleman's attorney, Ryan Bower, filed the venue change request on her behalf Monday. He contends the Shreveport, Louisiana, woman would not receive a fair trial in southern Indiana's Washington County due to public hostility against her, outrage over the boy's death and media coverage, WTHR-TV reported.
