Trial Delayed Amid Venue Debate | Charleston News
Description
Alyssa Middleton, a 19-year-old ambulance driver charged with running over and killing a man, faces a delayed trial as the judge waits for a state Supreme Court ruling that could reshape how venue changes are handled in high-profile cases. With social media fueling public scrutiny, the court must balance transparency with fairness. The defense sought to move the trial to avoid media pressure, but the judge refused to seal the location, insisting all proceedings remain open. The case hinges on critical evidence — including a pending medical examiner’s report and subpoenaed medical records — while technical delays further stall progress. A status hearing is set for September 11, but the judge is prepared to act sooner once the key report arrives.
