Prosecutors and defense attorneys agree a court should move the trial of a man accused of killing a Georgia high school teacher last seen 13 years ago.
Media outlets report prosecutors agreed to a change of venue request filed by attorneys for 33-year-old Ryan Alexander Duke at a hearing Monday.
The defense claimed Duke couldn’t get a fair trial in the rural southwest Georgia town where one-time beauty queen Tara Grinstead vanished in 2005.
The judge has yet to rule on whether to relocate the case. But the defense dropped a separate request to dismiss some charges.
Duke was indicted on murder charges last year. Another man, Bo Dukes, is charged with helping dispose of the body.
