Hamilton County, Ohio, Judge Leslie Ghiz said that she expects the case to remain in the county.
Last month Joe Deters, the Hamilton County prosecutor, announced that he would seek to move the case to another county, but no formal request to change the venue was filed, according to the report. He said he hoped to change locations because of the problems that arose during the first trial, including concerns about the jurors' identities being made public.

Another pretrial hearing is scheduled for Jan. 25.
