Ward Weaver trial will stay in Clackamas Co.

OREGON CITY -- A Clackamas County Circuit Court judge has turned down a request by lawyers for accused killer Ward Weaver to move his trial to a different venue.

Weaver, 41, is accused of murdering two Oregon City girls -- Ashley Pond, 12, and Miranda Gaddis, 13 --in 2002.

Weaver's attorneys had argued that intense media coverage would prevent their client from receiving an impartial jury and a fair trial.

But prosecutors countered that Weaver himself was partially responsible for the media coverage that has surrounded the case, after he solicited interviews with local reporters.

Jury selection is expected to begin early next year. If convicted, Weaver could face the death penalty.

Weaver's next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 5.

Anyone else think he was covering for someone? Like, his son?

Wow, I thought you meant Ward Cleaver!

That sick pipe smoking bastard should have been thrown in the pokey years ago! Imagine giving your youngest and most vulnerable son the nickname "Beaver". I swear I saw him go down on Eddie Haskell once.

Hey, FFM! :heart:

Sorry, but I know nothing about this real life case your highlighting, and chose instead to recklessly indulge my "My Three Sons" obsession. June Cleaver was kinda' hot, though, don't you think?

This sick bastard kidnapped two girls (12 and 13 I think? or 13 and 15?) and killed them, cut their bodies up, put their remains in their own respective 55-gallon barrels and burried them on his property. The guy is on trial for the murders, but his son is a serious freaking sicko (rapist and murderer, IIRC) -and he was out of jail when the murders took place.

That's one sickcom I don't think I'd much like.

I'm still trying to figure out what the Cleavers have to do with My Three Sons...
