Tri-State Crematory operator seeks to remove jurors

LAFAYETTE - A hearing is scheduled Friday on whether Walker County grand jurors should be disqualified from hearing evidence against Tri-State Crematory operator Brent Marsh. <br> <br> Marsh&#39;s attorney, Ken Poston, said the order that creates the current grand jury was signed by Judge Jon Wood, who earlier disqualified himself from the case. <br> <br> Citing personal ties to the case, Wood and three other judges in the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit disqualified themselves in March. <br> <br> Marsh faces nearly 400 felony charges relating to the recovery of more than 340 uncremated bodies from the Walker County crematory in February of last year. <br> <br> Poston also will ask that Marsh be removed from an electronic monitoring program and be allowed to travel more than 50 miles from his home, if accompanied by an attorney. <br> <br> Judge James Bodiford of Cobb County Superior Court, appointed to hear the case, will rule on the motions.
