Anyone know why GW4 was transferred to Scioto County jail today ?
His name isn't coming up in Scioto County jail. The docket doesn't show he was moved either. Would you list your source please? Thank you.

Maybe to be closer to court house. I had not thought he was probably there during questionaire but he may be. I assume you are talking about the DOC alert that he was moved. I have that and will try to get it posted soon.
I think anyone can sign up for those alerts. (See Below) Will try to post that link also when I get a chance. Not sure why Scioto does not update their system, they may do so.

Thanks for this doc.
I would think many witnesses would not want to be videoed and or recorded. It will be interesting. After reading thru entire document, I honestly don’t see how the local Courthouse can accommodate all people and procedures related to the actual trial. Think about how crowded the courtroom was on the day Jake Admitted Guilt. With all extended family attending, it was standing room only. That did not include much media presence.
I just don’t see how this can work out space wise and then with added security for the Trial.

I am worried there will be several important witnesses that may make that request. Paying for transcripts would be an outrageous amount.
Probably not many besides family would be able to get in the court room. They may have a seperate area for media and some things.
You are right it will be hard to work everything into that space.

Yes, moved for jury selection.
 
Yes, moved for jury selection.
The Courthouse is in Waverly Ohio.

It's 1 1/2 hours from his Montgomery County jail in Dayton to Waverly.

It's 40 minutes from his Scioto County jail in Portsmouth to Waverly.

Defendants are in court for jury duty when the judge and defense and prosecution are asking prospective jurors questions.

So if he was moved to the Portsmouth County jail it makes alot more sense. Might as well keep him there until after trial in my opinion. His trial could last a month. That is a heck of alot of driving back and forth.

3 hour round trip from Dayton. 1 hour 20 minute round trip from Portsmouth.

This makes it sound like he wasn't moved to Scioto County jail in Portsmouth. I'm not sure what to believe at this point. It shows him listed in Montgomery and not coming up in the Scioto jail inmate locator search.

Anyway, we know he is going to court for choosing a jury.

On some entries they have Scioto and on some Montogomery. Maybe the paperwork was prepared before he moved so they are entering what it noted on there.

Do you have a link for that? I would really like to find him in the Scioto jail roster. You posted this and it didn't work:

70.60.28.54:8443/TDT_Viewer/actions/FilterInmateInformation.do

I can't find him in the scioto inmate jail search.

I just called booking at the Scioto County jail and they said they do have him there. So straight information from the Scioto jail they say he is in their jail and on their roster.

Likely moved to be much closer to court.

Can you copy and paste that in a browser and try it that way? You can put in his name or his ID is 20031630.
