Decommissioned Metro Nashville police officer Andrew Delke has been granted a request to appeal for a change of venue for his upcoming trial, News Channel 5 reports. Delke has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Daniel Hambrick. Judge Monte Watkins denied Delke’s original request last month, but yesterday granted Delke and attorney David Raybin the opportunity to appeal that decision to the state appellate court. Raybin argues that Delke will not receive a fair trial as most Nashvillians have already made up their minds about him. The trial is scheduled for next March.
