A judge has ruled for a change of venue in a Okfuskee County murder case. Kevin Sweat, who is accused of killing his girlfriend Ashley Taylor as well as two young Weleetka girls, was granted the change of venue request Tuesday.
His trial in Taylor's death will take place in Bristow, Judge Lawrence Parish ruled.
