Hearings for Fairfield teens charged in teacher’s slaying will be open to public, media
Iowa Supreme Court denies appeals seeking ban during upcoming hearings on sending their cases to Juvenile Court
Two teenagers accused of killing a Fairfield high school Spanish teacher last year had their appeals to ban the public from a hearing declined by the Iowa Supreme Court Thursday.
Jeremy Everett Goodale, 17, and Willard Noble Chaiden Miller, 16, have been charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Nohema Graber, 66, with a baseball bat in November, according to court documents.
Both teens are charged as adults.
They had appealed a decision by 8th Judicial District Judge Shawn Showers that would allow the public and the news media to attend a hearing about sending their case to Juvenile Court.
Goodale’s trial is set for Aug. 23 and Miller for Nov. 1.
