HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — The preliminary hearing for two Kansas Department of Corrections inmates charged in an attack on another inmate has been continued because of defense attorneys had not seen an important piece of evidence.
Twenty-two-year-old Jerrod Green and 31-year-old Juan Garza are charged with attempted capital murder or aggravated battery in the June 2014 attack on inmate Miguel Garcia at a state prison.
The preliminary hearing set for Monday was continued because the men’s attorneys had not seen a video that the state said shows what happened during the attack. Also, an attorney representing Green is leaving the public defender’s office this month, so another attorney will have to be appointed.
No new hearing date was set.
