The trial for one of two teens charged with murder in the death of a Fairfield High School teacher has been moved to western Iowa. Sixteen-year-old Willard Noble Chaiden Miller will be tried in Pottawattamie County court in Council Bluffs. He, along with 17-year-old Jeremy Everett Goodale, are on trial for First-Degree Murder for killing Spanish teacher Nohema Graber. Her body was found in Chatauqua Park in Fairfield November 3rd of 2021. The decision comes after the judge agreed with the defense that there would be a high degree of prejudice among potential jurors in Jefferson County making a fair and impartial trial unlikely.

Miller also has a hearing scheduled for July 7th in an attempt to suppress evidence, including but not limited to, statements that the defendant gave to police during his initial interrogation. Miller’s trial is scheduled to begin November 1st. Goodale’s request to have his trial moved was denied. That hearing is scheduled to begin August 23rd in Fairfield.
