(WED.) Yesterday, Adam Longoria, the man charged with the Capital Murder of 14-year-old Great Bend resident Alicia Debolt appeared in Barton County District Court for a motions hearing. The defense made a motion to change the venue of the Jury trial, claiming they would not have enough impartial jurors to have a fair trial. The defense called Shirley Drew, a Communications Professor at Pittsburgh State University to the witness stand. She testified about a survey that she helped organize, that polled over 400 people in Barton County. 75 percent of that sample group said they thought Adam Longoria was guilty. Defense Attorney Jeffery Wicks argued for a change of venue in the case.
