The man accused of murdering a Mayfield woman and her 17-year-old son nearly two years ago is requesting that his trial be moved because of a racial imbalance in the county in which it's to be held.
According to the Journal-News, Terry Froman, who is African-American, wants the trial moved out of Warren County, Ohio because it’s 90 percent white. The paper also reports Froman has filed a motion to fire his court-appointed attorneys.
Froman, from Brookport, Ill., faces the death penalty for the murder of Eli Mohney and the kidnapping and murder of Eli’s mother, Kim Thomas. Froman also shot himself after being stopped by police outside Cincinnati.
Froman faces charges in Graves County after his trial in Ohio.
