Change of Venue for Teacher Charged with Student Sex?

There may be a change of venue for the trial of Steven Gray. He’s the for­mer Cen­tral Hardin High School social stud­ies teacher, accused of hav­ing sex with some of his stu­dents. The News Enter­prise says the judge in the case is con­sid­er­ing the move, but not until some effort is made to seat a jury. The judge heard from three wit­nesses yes­ter­day. They all said they believe Gray could not receive a fair trial in Hardin County because of exten­sive media cov­er­age and the widely held belief in the com­mu­nity that he is guilty. Gray’s trial is sup­posed to start tomor­row morning.
