The trial for a man accused in the brutal murder and sodomy of a 6 year old boy in Bourbon County two years ago, has been moved to Woodford County.  
50 year old Lewis "Buck" Ballard is accused of killing Wesley Mullins in August of 2007.  Mullins was found dead in his grandfather's garage in Paris.  If convicted, Ballard could receive the death penalty.

The judge had said the trial could be moved to Woodford County because there were concerns about the ability to seat an impartial jury in Bourbon County due to all of the pretrial publicity.  After interviewing hundreds of potential jurors, late Thursday afternoon it was decided that the trial would be moved. 

It's not clear when jury selection will begin in Woodford County.
