Trial set for teen accused in father's death



INDIANA (AP) _ Opening statements are expected in the case of an Indiana County teenager accused of setting a fire that killed her adoptive father.

Seventeen-year-old Codee Wheeler, of Blairsville, faces trial today on charges of homicide, arson and related offenses. She's being tried as an adult.

Prosecutors say Wheeler set fire to her home last March while 57-year-old William Wheeler was inside. Police say she talked about killing her father while staying with another family as county officials investigated allegations about his behavior.

Police say she stated that he'd walk in on her while she was showering and would walk around the house in his underwear. Investigators cleared him.
