HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Hutchinson man bound over for trial on a charge of first-degree murder is scheduled for court Friday for a motion hearing.
Brennan Trass is accused in the shooting death of 24-year-old Jose Morales who was found on the floor of a residence back on Aug. 17 with multiple gunshot wounds. He died later at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center.
Motion hearings are common once the case gets to the trial stage and this could be one of a number of such hearings prior to case going to trial which is scheduled to begin on March 22. The hearing is scheduled in front of Judge Trish Rose.
Trass has other convictions for unlawful voluntary sexual relations, aggravated burglary and obstructing the legal process.
