The ongoing recall effort against Lake County Coroner Shannon Kent has led to a change of venue motion by his attorney to move his trial to a jurisdiction where he would not be facing the voters.
Kent is facing a recall effort after his (and his wife's) arrest after leaving a body in funeral facility. The charge is tampering with a deceased human body. Kent is also facing charges for violating bail bond conditions from a 2019 arrest for perjury and misconduct for enlisting his wife as deputy coroner. The state suspended their funeral homes in October 2020 over the cremation of a stillborn baby. Petitioners need 690 signatures in 60 days.
