HEARINGS FOR FAIRFIELD TEENS DELAYED IN TEACHER DEATH CASE

Hearings for Fairfield teens delayed in teacher death case

Hearings for both of the two Fairfield teenagers accused of killing their high school Spanish teacher have been put on hold.  Hearings were scheduled Thursday (3/24) for 16-year-old Willard Miller and 16-year-old Jeremy Goodale on whether the two should be tried as juveniles, rather than adults, when they stand trial for the murder of 66-year-old Nohema Graber last November.  The judge has postponed both hearings with no new date scheduled. Christine Branstad, an attorney for Miller, has asked the Iowa Supreme Court to review if Judge Shawn Showers was correct in allowing evidence that she says should be suppressed because it was obtained in violation of Miller’s constitutional rights.  Miller’s hearing was postponed Wednesday (3/23); Goodale’s was postponed Thursday.
