A motion for a change of venue filed Tuesday by Carl Roy Webb Boards II's attorney seeks to have the trial held outside of Madison County, claiming he wouldn't be able to have a fair trial there in the case alleging he killed Officer Noah Shahnavaz.
The motion also claims Boards wouldn't be able to receive a fair trial because of"public hostility against the accused; public outrage over the offense; prejudicial news-reporting or editorializing which castigates the accused; speculative opinions as to the personality and character of the accused; disclosures of inadmissible evidence; and the existence and contents of confessions, or prior criminal records."A hearing on the motion will be held Sept.
Court documents also say Shahnavaz never had a chance to unholster his own gun during the encounter. Shahnavaz, 24, was an Elwood police officer of 11 months and a five-year army veteran.During an investigation, police discovered Boards was known to carry a handgun and had recorded songs in which he said,"if he was ever caught by police that he would kill them," documents allege.
