Curious why defendant WM left this prestigious school for the public HS?

Seems the defense answered the question today (also believe his mom was employed by the private school):

Cook said Goodale's mother left the family when he was 12, that he had to switch schools from the private Maharishi School in Fairfield to the public schools and he felt isolated due to the pandemic.

It's time to turn your clocks back. Here's how to make it an easier transition

Sawyer Mast took her class last year.

"Not all of us liked Spanish two or three," Mast said. "It was a hard class. But she was, in reality, probably one of the best teachers we had because she held you to her standards, and that was good for her."

He's one of several students KCCI spoke to who knew Graber and the two students now charged with her murder: Jeremy Goodale, 16, and Willard "Chaiden" Miller, 16.

"Having known Chaiden, having him in my class, he did speak, not in a murderous way, but in a very aggressive way for dislike toward Ms. Graber," Mast said.

A couple of students told KCCI they heard an argument Tuesday afternoon about trying to get a grade up in Graber's class. Not long after that, police said that same student went to Chautauqua Park where Graber was known to go for walks.

According to court documents, Goodale posted details about planning the killing and a possible motive on social media. Police said they found clothing that appeared to have blood at the homes of the teens.

Court documents state Miller admitted to being at the park with Garber was killed and helped to conceal her death.

Assistant Jefferson County Attorney Patrick J. McAvan said Friday that many people are asking if this is a racially motivated crime. “We do not have any evidence at this point that suggests that,” he said.

Authorities have not released a motive.

They mocked her accent...I know, they say it was not racially motivated. But still, that makes me so mad..

"Media interest in this case remains high," Branstad wrote. "The media has been present at all of Miller’s criminal hearings to date. All hearings have had extensive coverage and social media comments."

Miller and Goodale requested to try their cases in juvenile court, but those requests were denied by judge Shawn Showers earlier this month. Goodale's trial is expected to begin Aug. 23. Miller's trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 1.

Court documents show Judge Shawn Showers has granted the change of venue request by Jeremy Goodale. In his order, filed Monday, the judge agreed “that there is a substantial likelihood a fair and impartial trial cannot be preserved with a jury selected from Jefferson County pursuant to Iowa rules of Criminal Procedure 2.11(10).”

The judge also granted a motion to continue Goodale’s trial, which had been scheduled to begin on August 23. A new location and date for his trial have not yet been set.

From the 8/19/22 link:

Court documents filed Thursday by Willard Miller’s attorney, show he has waived his right to be tried within a year of being arraigned in the murder of 66-year-old Nohema Graber. He has also filed a motion to continue his trial, which had been scheduled to start on November 1 in Pottawattamie County.

The motion says that prosecutors are not resisting the delay and more time is needed to complete depositions, discovery, and address suppression issues.
