Citing media and social media coverage of the Ritenour proceedings, Judge Myron Gookin ruled yesterday that Alicia Ritenour’s defense team would be prejudiced by a Mahaska County jury pool and ordered that her trial be moved to Lee County. Ritenour was re-charged after her convictions for first-degree murder and child endangerment for killing her two-year-old child Ava were overturned in December of 2018. Ritenour’s new trial in Fort Madison is slated to begin on August 13, 2019.
