ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — Attorneys for the man accused of killing 14-year-old Stephanie Condon plan to ask for the trial to moved out of Douglas County.
Mark Sabitt, one of two attorneys representing Dale Wayne Hill, says the defense also plans to challenge the constitutionality of the death penalty.
Condon disappeared Oct. 30, 1998, while baby-sitting at a Tri City home.
The missing person case generated a lot of publicity in southwest Oregon before a hiker found the girl’s remains near Glide last year.
Hill is believed to have been the last person to have seen Condon alive, but he maintains his innocence in her death.
