(Atlantic, Iowa) – A little more than a week after a Cass County District Court Judge took a change of venue request in the Alison Dorsey case, she ruled today (Wednesday), that Dorsey’s second trial in the death of a child will take place in Council Bluffs’ Pottawattamie County District Court. Judge Amy Zacharias agreed with the Prosecutor, that the case could not be tried again in Cass County, due to extensive publicity.

Dorsey’s new trial remains set for 9:30-a.m. June 20, 2022. Her first trial in Cass County District Court ended November 4, 2021 in a mistrial, because the jury was deadlocked.

Dorsey was on trial for the October, 2019 death of an infant in her care at a facility in Massena. The State charged Dorsey with First Degree Murder and Child Endangerment resulting in death.
