HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Judge Tim Chambers noted that DNA testing in a 2012 rape case has been completed, but didn’t mention the results during a hearing Wednesday.

Back in February, Judge Chambers had ordered that DNA testing be commenced in the case against 27-year-old Craig Lee Gooch. Gooch wanted the DNA analysis of his fingernails to show that none of the victim’s DNA was under them.

He was found guilty for forcing a Hutchinson woman into sex after he crawled into her van at a local Dillons. Gooch forced the victim to drive him to her home, where the sexual assault occurred. Gooch is claiming none of this happened the way the state claims. The alleged crimes occurred back on May 11, 2012.

His attorney Shannon Crane noted that she hasn’t had time to look over the results and figure out a strategy for moving forward with Gooch.

Judge Tim Chambers gave the defense until Jan. 4, to decide if they want to file a brief with the court or have some sort of hearing over how the case moves forward.

The decision that DNA testing be done came from the Kansas Court of Appeals order back in December of last year.
