Judge Denies Request To Move Petters Trial

(WCCO) A judge has denied the defense's request to move Tom Petters' trial out of the Twin Cities, just a day before the trial is supposed to start.

The judge also ruled that incriminating recordings made by Deanna Coleman, the whistleblower in the case, can be played before the jury.

Petters also asked that he be moved from the Sherburne County Jail in Elk River to the Ramsey County Jail in St. Paul during his trial, but the judge said no to that too.

Jury selection in the case starts at 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle denied Petters' bid to move his trial out of the state.
