COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — The attorney defending a 15-year-old northern Idaho boy accused of killing his father and younger brother wants a possible confession and other statements made to police thrown out.
The Spokesman-Review reports (http://bit.ly/1nLk9ng) in a story on Wednesday that Kootenai County Public Defender John Adams is also asking for a jury pool from outside the county because of media coverage that could prevent a fair trial.
Eldon Gale Samuel III is charged as an adult with shooting 46-year-old Eldon Samuel Jr. and shooting and stabbing 13-year-old Jonathan Samuel in March in Coeur d'Alene.
He faces a second-degree murder charge in the death of his father and a first-degree murder charge in the death of his brother.
A judge entered pleas of not guilty for Samuel at a court hearing in July.
