The court found that the matter had become a "cause célêbre" in Piscataquis County, that many county residents were familiar with the case, and that the videotape of Chasse's initial break from custody had been repeatedly broadcast on television and covered extensively in newspaper accounts.
Chasse then filed a motion to reconsider venue and claimed that the transfer to Knox County was improper because the pretrial publicity was insufficient to require a transfer and because the case had not been transferred to an adjoining county.
Prosecution for escape or attempted escape from supervised community confinement must be in the county in which the institution from which the transfer to supervised community confinement was granted is located or in any county to which the transfer to supervised community confinement was granted.
