ARKANSAS CITY, Kansas – KSN has confirmed that Justin Thurber’s defense attorney has filed a motion for a new trial.
Thurber was convicted last month in the capital murder of 19-year-old Jodi Sanderholm.
In this latest motion, it’s reported that the defense claims Thurber was illegally arrested.
It goes on to say that evidence of bad character and past bad acts, should not have been presented as evidence. The motion is standard procedure.
The request for a new trial will be considered this Friday, the same day Thurber is to be sentenced.
The jury recommended the death penalty in the case
