Judge Delays Decision on Murder Trial Venue

St. Clair County murder suspect Maurice Houle appeared in court Monday, for motions including a request to move his trial out of the county. Judge Cynthia Lane said she won’t decide on a change of venue until jurors are questioned about whether they can be fair, citing the case’s public attention. Houle and co-defendant Amanda Maison face felony homicide charges in the death of Maison’s son, Matthew. A new hearing is set for Nov. 7th, while Maison’s motions are scheduled for Friday.
