Judge Moves Kott Trial to Fairbanks

Anchorage--

Judge Ralph Beistline has ordered that the trial of former State Rep. Pete Kott (R.-Eagle River) be moved from Anchorage to Fairbanks. The order came in response to a request by the defense to move the trial out of Anchorage due to concerns that publicity in Alaska's largest city would make it difficult to find an unbiased jury. The selection of Fairbanks as the site for the trial was made by the judge, who frequently notes his origins in the Golden Heart City.

When scheduled for Anchorage, the trial date was December 5, but the shift might cause a change in the date.
