The attorney for Kendall Batchelor, the daughter of a prominent San Antonio businessman Ken Batchelor, has filed a motion asking for a venue change ahead of her trial on intoxication manslaughter charges, slated to start May 15. In a May 1 filing in Kendall County District Court, Batchelor’s high-profile San Antonio-based DWI attorney, Louis D. Martinez, argues that “negative” press coverage will affect the outcome of the trial. However, in a response to the motion, Kendall County Assistant Criminal District Attorney Robert F. Lipo wrote that news coverage of the pending case has been neither inflammatory, inaccurate nor sensational.
