WINTERSET, Iowa (AP) – An 18-year-old accused in the burning of a covered bridge featured in the best-selling novel “The Bridges of Madison County” has pleaded not guilty. Court records say Joel Davis entered the pleas Monday to arson and related charges. His trial is scheduled to begin July 18th.
The bridge destroyed April 15 near Winterset also was featured in the 1995 movie adaptation starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. The novel was written by Robert James Waller, who died in March.
Prosecutors say 17-year-old Alexander Hoff of West Des Moines, will be facing an arson charge as well.
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A West Des Moines woman accused of starving and neglecting her teenage daughter wants a separate trial from her former husband and wants her murder trial moved out of Polk County. Nicole Finn and Joseph Finn II are charged with the October starvation death of 16-year-old Nicole Finn and the suspected abuse of two of Natalie’s siblings. Nicole Finn also is charged with murder. Both have pleaded not guilty.
The Des Moines Register reports that lawyers for Nicole Finn cited pretrial publicity and other factors in her request last week for a change of venue. Finn’s attorneys are seeking a separate trial because of their concerns about potentially incriminating statements he made to investigators. A hearing on the motions is scheduled for May 31.
