OTTAWA, Kan. (AP) Pretrial hearings in the case of a man accused of killing four people on an Ottawa farm are expected to stretch into 2014.
A Franklin County judge on Monday set a schedule of pretrial hearings for Kyle Flack, 27, of Ottawa that will take more than seven months.
Flack is charged with capital murder and several other charges in the deaths of two men, a woman and her 18-month-old daughter in May.
During a hearing Monday, Franklin County District Judge Thomas H. Sachse said some documents filed in the case could be open to the public.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports the judge also said he will rule later this week on whether prosecutors can order DNA testing that might destroy several potential pieces of evidence in the case.
