At Tuesday's hearng, Hogan argued that extensive news coverage of the case, including a 3 1/2 minute newscast that was aired a total of five times after Wolf's preliminary hearing, will make it difficult to seat a jury of area residents who have not formed an opinion on the case.
Branch I Judge Michael Bloom took the matter under advisement and will render a decision on the motion May 15.
