The trial for a Hutchinson man charged with first degree murder has been continued till late summer.
District Judge Tim Chambers says that the trial for Michael Brisco will now begin on August 25. It had been scheduled to begin on May 5.
Brisco is charged with two alternate counts of murder for the shooting of 26-year-old Sem Adrien. One is for premeditated first degree murder and the alternate count is for intentional second degree murder. Other charges include criminal possession of a firearm, aggravated intimidation of a victim or witness, possession of methamphetamine and solicitation to commit perjury.
The alleged crimes occurring after Adrien may have been rude to Brisco’s girlfriend and the two began to fight inside Brisco’s home. The shooting occurring outside with the victim collapsing on a nearby parking lot near 8th & Plum. The crime occurring back on September 9, 2013.
Both sides anticipate filing motions in the case prior to trial meaning there will be a motion hearing scheduled at some point prior to trial beginning. But, again the trial is now continued till August 25.
