HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The case against a Hutchinson man is scheduled for a status hearing Friday in front of Judge Tim Chambers.
The trial for Michael Brisco is scheduled to begin next month, however, there was some concern on the part of the defense that some items being redacted by the state might not be done in time for them to review. Judge Chambers indicated that he wants this trial to go as scheduled. Deputy District Attorney Tom Stanton, who is prosecuting the case, was not present at the last hearing, so that issue may come up during the Friday hearing.
Brisco is charged with murder in the shooting death of 26-year-old Sem Adrien. Other charges include criminal possession of a firearm, aggravated intimidation of a victim or witness, possession of methamphetamine and solicitation to commit perjury. The shooting occurred back on Sept. 9, 2013.
The judge had suppressed statements made by Brisco after the third time he mentioned he was done talking. Twice before he said that, but then started talking again on his own. But, the third time, Police Detective Jamie Schoenhoff initiated the conversation.
The hearing Friday is scheduled as part of Judge Chamber’s Friday criminal docket.
