EDINBURG – A judge has denied a request for a change of venue in a 1960 murder case.

John Feit is accused in the murder of Irene Garza. He was in court last week asking Judge Luis Singleterry for a change of venue.

Feit’s attorney said there’s been so much publicity about the case there is no way Feit can be tried in Hidalgo County and get a fair, unbiased trial.

The trial date is set for Sept. 11.
