ORLANDO, Fla. – Lawyers for accused killer Markeith Loyd are trying to block an upcoming move to the Seminole County Jail.

In a recently filed motion, Loyd's lawyer said the move would be "destabilizing." 

Loyd is currently awaiting trial for the murders of Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton and his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Sade Dixon.
