One week prior to the scheduled start of jury selection, attorneys for Grant James Spencer withdrew a motion for a change of venue and other motions that prosecutors hinted might delay Spencer’s trial on charges of felony murder and aggravated battery in the August 2014 death of Michael Joseph Gatto, 18. “Right now, we’re headed in the direction of doing something Tuesday,” Ogeechee Circuit Chief Judge William E. Woodrum Jr. said at the conclusion of the Oct. 4 pretrial hearing. He has jury selection scheduled to begin first thing on Oct. 11 for the trial in Bulloch County Superior Court.
