A suspect in the murders of Russell and Rebecca Porter has asked and received a change-of-venue. By agreement, the trial for 68-year-old Robert Campbell will take place in Taney County, but the court will secure a jury from a county outside the Springfield broadcast media coverage area.

Another suspect in the case, 44-year-old Tony Friend, has also received a similar agreement.

Campbell, who is the uncle of Russell Porter, pled not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder. He posted $500,000 bond out of the Taney County Jail last month. Campbell’s next court appearance is May 16th.
