He can try to obtain a change of venue but he may have some considerable difficulty in doing this. When you say someone knows everyone that may really mean nothing in terms of court proceedings.

It doesn't matter who he knows, as long as the judge does not have a conflict with the case. I don't see this going anywhere.
