Muschany asks for jury to be brought in from another county

Former Rep. Scott Muschany, R-Frontenac, does not want a Cole County jury to decide his fate when he goes to trial on felony sex charges.

According to Cole County Circuit Court records, Muschany's attorney, James Deutsch, filed a motion Friday asking for a jury to be brought in from another county.

The next court date for Muschany, who is charged with the felony deviate sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl, is Oct. 27, when a trial date will be set. Muschany resigned his House seat on Sept. 9, the same day he pleaded not guilty during his arraignment.
