TYLER — An attempt to change the second trial for a man accused in a 2007 child sex ring has failed. According to KETK, defense attorney Thad Davidson wanted State District Judge Jack Skeen of Tyler off the case. Davidson claimed Skeen used his own special rules of evidence and procedure in his courtroom during Patrick Kelly’s last trial. The state now says Davidson has a personal vendetta against Judge Skeen. So the trial will continue as planned.
