Pickaway County's latest murder trial has another twist.

The first aggravated murder trial of Brent Cox in early June ended with the jury not being able to reach a verdict on three counts.  With another trial planned, Cox now has replaced his former attorney Mike Hess. 

Pickaway County Prosecutor Judy Wolford said the hearing 10:30 Wednesday morning was a simple procedure - Hess filed to back out, his replacement has already filed to step in, and the process moves along. 

It's unclear if this will delay the second trial.
