WAKEENEY, Kan. (AP) _ The trial of a man charged with killing his 85-year-old father is scheduled to begin with potential jurors being taken from Gove County to Trego County.

Gove County residents will be transported to WaKeeney Monday for jury selection in the first-degree murder trial against David A. Stevenson.

Stevenson is charged with the March 13, 2008, death of his father, Walter Stevenson.

The trial has been moved from Gove County because the courthouse in Gove was considered too small to hold the trial.

The death initially was believed to be a farm accident, after Walter Stevenson's body was found wedged between the bed of a truck and its frame. But unspecified discrepancies prompted investigators to revisit the case.

David Stevenson has pleaded not guilty.
