HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A shot hearing held today in the Sam Vonachen case.
The defense for the teen accused of two counts of first degree murder wants a transcript written from a court reporter outside of the case to be presented to Judge Trish Rose so that she can compare it to audio from an in car camera. That audio is part of an overall motion to suppress various audio and video recordings done by police in the case.
That hearing is expected to resume on Monday. While the transcript will not be used as evidence,prosecuting attorney Steve Maxwell objected to the use of the transcript says it contained several inaccuracies stating that several key pieces of audio that were plainly evident during the hearing were written down as inaudible in the defense transcript.
Judge Trish Rose said she will take transcripts from both sides and look them over while listening to the audio. Again the transcript will not be used as evidence.
Vonachen is accused of setting fire to the family home killing his mother and sister in September of 2013.
