(Fairfield, Iowa) -- One of the two southwest Iowa teens accused of killing a high school teacher is asking to have his trial moved out of Jefferson County.

Miller and Jeremy Goodale are accused of killing Fairfield High School teacher Nohema Graber in November of last year. Graber's body was discovered in a Fairfield park the day she went missing.
