CADIZ, Ky. (AP) — A judge has moved the trial of a Kentucky man charged in the deaths of his parents, his sister and the man who was his alleged accomplice.
The Paducah Sun reports Trigg Circuit Judge C.A. Woodall on Friday granted Ryan Champion’s request, moving the trial to Livingston County. Champion cited pretrial publicity and his family’s ties to Cadiz in requesting the trial be moved from Trigg County.
The 36-year-old Champion is charged with murder, three counts of complicity to murder and one count of kidnapping. He’s charged in the 2014 deaths of his father, Lindsey Champion; his mother, Joy Champion; his sister, Emily Champion; and his alleged accomplice, Vito Riservato.
