Justin Meek, brother of Joey, on Fox News last June

1. Joseph Meek will be tried in Charleston, not his hometown. Apparently the reason for the transfer of the trial is to make it more convenient for the Charleston shooting victims/families to attend Meek's trial. Judge Gergel said a special jury drawn from around the state will prevent local public feeling in Charleston from harming Meek's chance of a fair trial. (Yeah, right.) Transfer of a trial can be ordered by the judge for the convenience of either party. Naturally, the Meek family, who live in Red Bank, will be inconvenienced by the transfer to Charleston.

2. Here's an old Fox News story from last June - an interview by Greta van Sustern with Justin Meek, brother of Joseph Meek. The article below the interview "video" brings in an AP article in which Joseph tells AP about Dylann telling him he had "a plan."

[Joey] Meek said Roof recently used his birthday money to buy a Glock pistol. When the two of them were drinking together a few weeks ago, Roof began railing about black people and remarked that he had "a plan," Meek said. He did not say what the plan was, but Meek said it scared him enough that he took the gun out of Roof's car and hid it in his house until the next day.
