1Opinion of the Court
YETKA, Justice.
Defendant was indicted by a grand jury for first-degree and second-degree murder. Before trial, defendant moved the Ramsey County District Court for a change of venue because of prejudicial pretrial publicity. The district court denied the motion and defendant sought a writ of mandamus from this court ordering a change of venue. We denied the writ on October 29, 1979.
