State District Court Judge Charles LeDuc has ordered the trial be held in Beltrami County, about 115 miles away, because of pretrial publicity. 
 
	

Carl Muggli is charged with premeditated first-degree murder and intentional second-degree murder in the 2010 death of his wife, Linda. She died of severe head trauma when a totem pole the couple had been carving fell on her.
