It comes after a defense request for a change of venue sent the trial more than 200 miles away to the Springfield, Missouri, area.Lincoln County Prosecutor Mike Wood wrote in a news release, “I agree that a change of venue from Lincoln County – the scene of the crimes – is still appropriate. However, as my office has continued its in-depth planning to conduct what we estimate will be a month-long trial, it is more and more apparent that the physical distance between the scene of the crimes and green county will cause cumbersome and inefficient delivery of justice.”  Pam Hupp is currently serving a life sentence for the 2016 murder of Louis Gumpenberger.
