unflattering media accounts of his erratic behavior in the past, severence blurted out those statements are against my interest. and he told the judge, he was opposed to the change of venue requested. but in the intense fear experienced in the community after transportation planner ron kirby and music teacher ruth ann were gunned down in their front doors within months of each other and another ten years before, prosecutors turned to a different example in boston saying if a jury could be seated there in a terror trial of the marathon bombing suspect, then surely an alex and earea jury could be found. but the judge said the fear factor was too high to take a chance, moving the case to fairfax county. this longtime severence frnd thinks this is the right move. >> i definitely think that it would be hard to get an impartial jury in the locality where it occurred. >> reporter: john kelly, a family friend of the la dot toes has attended all of the hearing
