(ABC 6 News) – Adam Fravel’s 1st-degree murder trial for the death of Winona mother Madeline Kingsbury will take place in Blue Earth County.
According to judge Nancy Buytendorp’s order filed Aug. 21, the trial is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 7 at the Blue Earth County Justice Center, 401 Carver Road, Mankato.
Fravel’s defense filed motions to move the trial out of Winona County, claiming extensive coverage of the murder made it impossible to select an impartial jury from the residents.
Some Winona residents argued that moving the trial was a “disservice” to Kingsbury.
