Defense Argues That 16-Year-Old Defendant Can Be Rehabilitated

(Fairfield, IA) The defense has argued a 16-year-old murder defendant can be rehabilitated and his case should be moved to juvenile court.  A hearing on that matter was held in Fairfield Friday.  Willard Miller is one of two teenagers accused of killing 66-year-old Spanish teacher Nohema Graber last year.  During Friday’s hearing, the defense brought up many of Miller’s good deeds.  He and Jeremy Goodale are charged as adults with first-degree murder.  Goodale also wants his case moved to juvenile court.
