The jury will be brought back to Chattanooga for the start of the trial on Sept. 20.
Judge Don Poole said in open court that he has decided to grant a motion by the defense for a change of venue.
He said a written order would be put down to that effect.
Ms.
Hinds allegedly hit Officer Nicholas Galinger with her vehicle while he was inspecting an overflowing manhole on Hamill Road on Feb. 23, 2019. Officer Galinger was originally from Cincinnati.

District Attorney Neal Pinkston and Assistant Cameron Williams are trying the case for the state. Ms. Hinds is represented by attorneys Ben McGowan and Marya Schalk.
