A Sioux City man accused of killing his two step-daughters was in Woodbury County Court Wednesday for a hearing.  

The defense requested Larry Harris' trial to be moved because of pretrail publicity. They're also asking that the Satanic Bible not be emphasized during the trial. After the incident, Harris told Sioux City Police he had been "casting a spell that went bad."

Harris' attorneys say spells and witchcraft don't necessarily equal satanism. In an affidavit presented by the defense, the High Priest of the Church of Satan says the crimes that Harris is accused of are in no way consistent with the teachings, beliefs or practices of his church.

Harris is accused of killing 10 year-old Kendra and 8 year-old Alysha Suing, and then setting their house on fire.

His trial is scheduled for October 14th.
