Change of Venue requested

I believe he can get a fair trial here in Bexar County.

Try him anywhere in Texas.

Just try him quickly and let him get his punishment if when he is found guilty.

A hearing Thursday for Mark Anthony Gonzales, accused of fatally shooting Bexar County sheriff's Sgt. Kenneth Vann, brought five police officers, three TV crews and a relatively full courtroom.

Usually, proceedings short of a trial wouldn't draw so much security and media, and that is exactly why the venue should be changed to ensure Gonzales, 42, has a fair trial, defense attorney Michael Gross said.

State District Court Judge Mary Roman said she would need until Tuesday to read attorneys' briefs and make a decision.
