The judge in the murder trial of Mark Becker, who is accused of killing Aplington-Parkersburg football coach Ed Thomas, has reduced the jury pool from 220 potential jurors to 36 after the first day of jury selection.

The Des Moines Register reports the trial will take place in Shell Rock, about 20-miles north of Parkersburg, once the jury is chosen.

Becker has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
