RITENOUR RE-TRIAL DATE SET

Ritenour re-trial date set

Alicia Ritenour’s re-trial for murdering her 17-month-old daughter will still take place in Mahaska County—at least for now.  Ritenour is accused of killing her daughter, Ava, in January 2014.  She was found guilty at her first trial, but this past December the verdict was overturned after a judge ruled Ritenour’s defense attorney didn’t do a good job in court.  While a Mahaska County Judge set a trial date for August 13, he has not ruled on Ritenour’s request for a change of venue because of pre-trial publicity.  Ritenour remains in custody in the Mahaska County Jail on $500,000 bond.
