I thought Staley ruled against the defense's request to sever the charges relating to minors? IIRC, those charges will be brought into (and used against him) during this trial.
I am going to go out on a limb here. The high number of hardship requests indicates that the jurors are familiar with this case. They don't want their lives on hold for several months. Given their knowledge of the case, Ross is not going to any more any more sympathetic in Glynn County than he was in Cobb County. I sense that jury selection is going to be very reminiscent of the first round.
Have you heard or read about this case?
Panel 1. 10 yes
Panel 2. 8 yes.
Panel 3. 9 yes

27 of 36 prospective jurors called for #RossHarris trial say they've heard about case. 19 have formed opinions
Can the defense ask for a change in locations again since so many heard about the accused? And would the Judge go along with it?
