Monrovia – After 10 months of legal bickering at the Temple of Justice the venue for the murder trial of Oliver Dillion, the case was on Monday, January 13, transferred from Montserrado County to Margibi County. This latest move was taken by Presiding Judge Cianeh Clinton Johnson of the Criminal Court “B”. Defendant Dillion’s lawyer resisted the motion filed for change of venue arguing that the prosecution did not show any evidence to prove any local prejudice if the case is tried in Montserrado County. Judge Johnson wondered why the prosecution could think that the 5th Judicial Circuit Court could be the best place to try the case. She ordered the Clerk of Court to enter the record of the transfer of the case and transmit all records to Clerk of the Margibi Court.
