HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Hutchinson man bound over for trial on a charge of first-degree murder was back in court Monday morning for arraignment on the charge.
Brennan Trass entered a “not guilty” plea for the shooting death of 24-year-old Jose Morales. Morales was found on the floor of a residence back on Aug. 17 with multiple gunshot wounds. He died later at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center.
Trass has other convictions for unlawful voluntary sexual relations, aggravated burglary and obstructing the legal process.
Judge Trish Rose set a trial date of March 22, however, that is always subject to change.
