Lawyers for the woman charged in the disappearance and presumed death of three-year-old Khaleesi Cuthriell are attempting to move her upcoming trial out of Augusta County.

 

Attorneys for Candi Jo Royer argued during a circuit court hearing yesterday that because of the case’s heavy media coverage, it would be hard to get a fair trial locally.

 

It is not known when the judge will rule on the case but it may not come until after Travis Brown’s trial, which begins next Friday.

 

According to court records, Brown is charged with eight counts related to the case, including aggravated murder. He entered a not guilty plea during a hearing yesterday.
