Prosecutor Rodney Cummings has said he wants the case to be tried in Madison County but is open to a jury from another county weighing the evidence against Carl Boards, the accused killer of Elwood Police Officer Noah Shahnavaz.
ANDERSON — The Madison County Prosecutor has responded to a request by the accused killer of an Elwood police officer to have the trial held in another county on grounds of potential jury bias.
Boards' attorneys will present their reasoning for the motion during a pretrial conference scheduled Sept. 30 at Madison Circuit Court 3. Also during that hearing, a judge will hear Boards' objection to being transferred to the custody of the Indiana Department of Corrections ahead of his jury trial.
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.
