Forsyth County Chief Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Bagley had ordered the new site in northwest Georgia be kept secret until February 23rd -- the Friday before the trial there is to begin February 26th. But court documents obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution under the state's Open Records Act reveal the new location for the trial of Lynn Turner.
Turner is charged in the 2001 poisoning death of Randy Thompson, a firefighter and the father of her two children.
She had been scheduled to stand trial last month in Forsyth County Superior Court. But Judge Bagley stopped jury selection on January 16th and ordered the trial moved out of county due to pretrial publicity. At that point, about 100 potential jurors had been interviewed and roughly 90 percent knew some details of Turner's case.
