Newton County Circuit Court Judge Timothy Perigo will be in charge when the trial of Bobby Dean Bourne takes place.The Missouri Supreme Court appointed Perigo today after Judge James Bickel recused himself from the case.
Because of the change of judge, the March 17 hearing on the request by Bourne's lawyer, Thomas Jacquinot for a change of venue from the Barton County Courthouse in Lamar will be postponed.
Jacquinot filed the motion last week, citing the amount of publicity the case has received.
Bourne, 35, Lockwood, is charged with first degree murder, kidnapping, statutory rape, and armed criminal action in connection with the August 19 murder of 12-year-old Adriaunna Horton of Golden City.
Barton County Prosecuting Attorney Steven Kaderly has filed his intent to seek the death penalty.
This Adriaunnas grandma Brenda Brewer I live in Oregon I hope that sorry excuse for a human life form fry's in the electric chair for what he has done. I also feel that James Horton Adriaunnas dad needs to be held responsible for her death also if he hadn't of slept with Bourne's wife my grand baby just might still be alive
