Pritchett is charged with capital murder for allegedly robbing and shooting a man at an Ironto rest area last April.

Pritchett's family and members of two civil rights groups say they don't believe his current attorneys were willing to launch a full scale legal defense against an all white jury.
And as a result-- were pressuring Pritchett into signing a plea agreement.
Although Judge Ray Grubbs agreed to let Pritchett hire a new attorney...
He voiced his displeasure over why he waited until now to speak out and defended Pritchett's current attorneys.

Capital murder suspect Livingston "Bud" Pritchett is looking for a new legal team.
Pritchett's family and civil rights leaders say his attornies weren't willing to defend him properly before an all-white jury.
Jury selection was just about to begin when the judge decided to delay the trial to allow Pritchett time to find new attornies.
He's accused to robbing and murdering Estel Singleton at the Ironoto rest stop on Interstate-81.

The historic Avenel mansion was built in 18-38 for state delegate William Burwell and his family.
Over the years, those who have visited the house have noticed strange sounds and even, apparitions.
A former resident even named one of the ghosts, "The White Lady".
And there are several theories as to the identity of the "White Lady"-- including Burrell's daughter, who died at Avenel shortly after she was married.
