BOULDER, Colo. (AP) -- The trial of a Boulder County man accused of fatally injuring his 11-week-old son will begin Monday in Denver.

Alex Midyette's trial was moved after Midyette's lawyers said pretrial media coverage had tainted the jury pool in Boulder.

Jason died in March 2006 days after his parents took him to a hospital. Doctors said he had broken bones and a skull fracture. Midyette contends his son wasn't abused but suffered from a rare metabolic condition.

Midyette's wife, Molly Midyette, was sentenced to 16 years in prison. Prosecutors said she didn't seek help for her son in time.
