The former priest accused of killing a McAllen beauty queen will head to trial in Hidalgo County.
Attorneys for Priest John Feit — who's charged with the murder of McAllen beauty queen Irene Garza in April 1960 — wanted the murder trial moved, arguing wall-to-wall media coverage would make finding an impartial jury difficult.
Prosecutors, though, fought for the trial to take place where the murder occurred: in Hidalgo County.
