MASON CITY, Iowa - A judge has ruled that a high-profile murder trial will be moved to a different county.

Casey Frederiksen is charged with murder and sexual abuse in the 2005 death of five-year-old Evelyn Miller, of Floyd. Today in court, his attorney argued that pre-trial publicity, including media coverage, is impacting Frederiksen's ability to receive a fair trial.

KIMT-TV in Mason City reported that the judge ruled in favor of the motion to change the venue. It will now take place in Webster City. The trial is scheduled to begin October 28.
