Sorry to bother you again @Tippy Lynn - but is there a court date for Garth re Nicole's case?

Okay on this one - I have the 1/8/20 hearing cancelled - a Disposition hearing. And have it for trial on 7/13 - this is Nicole's case.

Here are my latest notes on this one:

12/18/19 Update: State’s motion to set jury trial on 1/6/20 & disposition hearing on 1/8/20. Newton County Prosecutor Jeff Drinski said Wednesday that plea negotiations with Kirts had broken down. Kirts was in line to get a 45-year sentence under terms offered. Drinski said he since pulled the deal & will go to trial in a case where he plans to ask for life without parole.
1/6/20 Update: Disposition hearing on 1/8/20 is cancelled. Trial is scheduled to start on 7/13/20.
****

Now I'm wondering why the court site has 1/7/20 hearing....

Now to read your next post!

 

Okay - I see the White County notes above - so he didn't get charged with murder on that case.

Now the one I quoted - I thought this was related to this case:

*Charged (1/20/19) with strangulation & domestic battery. Carroll County #08D01-1901-F6-000013
Court info from 1/22/19 thru 9/19/19 reference post #331 here:
Identified! - IN - Newton County, Fem, 30 Mar 2019 - Nicole Bowen
12/5/19: Motion for continuance of trial-granted (was scheduled for 9/23/19). Status hearing from 1/25/19 continued on 2/3/20 @ 9am.
***
related to his girlfriend - invasion of privacy charge. - no?

This guy has many charges & different case #s....

 

JMO

The Carroll Co strangulation charges for GK are AG as the victim several months before they murdered NB

All of the Newton Co charges are for Nicole Bowen

I don't think any charges have been filed for Hanish in White County yet? Isn't that why his family is so upset? A news reporter did a story finally so it hit MSM and we could talk about it here but I don't think LE has actually done anything yet.

I'm not good at the court pages like niner and tippy so I could very well be mistaken but I think that is correct.

 

I went to doxpop to look up all of GK's current cases and this is what I came up with. @Niner

I have to say a BIG Tippy Lynn!

I have/had everything right on my notes! Appreciated your help here!

 

Thanks for keeping it straight for all of us

 

Yes that's right. The murder charge for Garth is for Nicole. You can tell by the date of 03.29.19. Hanish was about two weeks earlier than that - mid March.

 

Just looking through the last entries on the original assisting a criminal cases; did Garth and Mathis agree to testify against Kirts? :

Ashley N. Garth
56D01-1904-F5-000376
12/20/2019 = Order Granting Motion to Dismiss

Christopher Channing Mathis, 27 of Kentland,
56D01-1904-F5-000346
04/06/2020 = CANCELED Jury Trial

Talitha Beckley
56D01-1904-F5-000411
06/01/2020 = Jury Trial

 

I think it was dismissed as she is now also charged with murder. But not completely sure. I can no longer access mycase for some reason.

 

You're probably right. So many murders...
What message to you get with mycase?
Maybe try a fresh link? Indiana Supreme Court public access case search - MyCase

 

Thanks. That is the link I am using now and it just hangs and doesn't load when I click on it. This is on my phone so I'll try on my PC later.

 

Tresir, maybe also try a private/incognito window depending on what browser you use by right clicking the link and then selecting whichever choice sounds like it hides you.

 

@Tippy Lynn - any updates on court dates for Nicole's case for Kirts?

Case # is 56D01-1904-MR-000367
