LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A judge agreed to move the case against John Miller out of Clark County, but to where is still yet to be determined.
According to court records filed Thursday, the prosecution and defense can't agree on a new location.
The state proposed Greene, Daviess, or Dubois county, while the defense proposed Hamilton, Allen, or Vanderburg county.
The defense wants to move the trial to a county outside the Louisville television coverage market.Â
Miller, who was arrested in August, is charged with one count of official misconduct after prosecutors said he accepted gifts, like meals and concert tickets, from former Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel. As a councilman, Miller approved funding for New Chapel EMS, which Noel was the CEO, without disclosing a conflict of interest.
Last month, Noel was sentenced to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty on Aug. 26 to 27 felonies for theft, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, money laundering, corrupt business influence and official misconduct.Â
He agreed to the plea deal nearly a year after he was arrested and Indiana State Police investigators raided his home in southern Indiana.
Miller's jury trial is still scheduled for Feb. 3, 2025.Â
