The lawyer for the teen accused of killing Lily Peters in Chippewa County is asking for a change of venue.
The teen’s lawyer says media coverage and public commentary won’t allow the suspect to have a fair trial in the county. Lily Peters was murdered at ten years old almost three years ago. The boy accused of killing her is 17-years-old now, but was 14 at the time. He’s facing multiple charges, including homicide and sexual assault. A hearing on the motion asking for a venue change will be held in June.
