Man charged with killing two officers wants trial moved

DES MOINES — Attorneys for an Iowa man accused of killing two Des Moines-area police officers are seeking to have his trial moved, citing pretrial publicity.

An attorney for 46-year-old Scott Michael Greene told a judge in a hearing Thursday he plans to file the change-of-venue request within days. Scott Greene has pleaded not guilty to two murder charges in the Nov. 2 ambush-style slayings of Urbandale Police Officer Justin Martin and Des Moines Police Sgt. Anthony Beminio.
