HAYWARD, Wis. (AP) - A man accused of fatally shooting six deer hunters can receive a fair trial in a northwestern Wisconsin county despite the strong emotions the case has aroused, prosecutors argued Wednesday.
In documents filed in Sawyer County court, Wisconsin Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager, who is prosecuting the case, said Chai Soua Vang and his attorneys have not produced sufficient evidence to warrant a change of venue.
Vang's attorneys filed motions in March seeking to move the September trial from the county, contending racial prejudice and overwhelming media publicity would prevent the Hmong man from getting a fair trial.
