We now have a preliminary hearing for a Hutchinson Correctional Facility inmate charged with battery and attempted battery of a law enforcement officers.

23-year-old Charles Hollingsworth faces a December 12, hearing on the charges, but also a wish by the defendant to be referred to in a very unusual way. His attorney, Lee Timan told Judge Joe McCarville Wednesday that his client doesn’t want to be referred to as the defendant, or Mr. Hollingsworth, but as a, “Secured Party Predator.” What that means is still unknown, but we may find out at the preliminary hearing.

You may recall the story we did back in September when Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen had the Department of Corrections officers take him back to prison when during a first appearance, he wouldn’t or couldn’t give his name.

They tried again a few days later and Hollingsworth told that judge that he didn’t recognize the court, and again wouldn’t give his name. He told the judge at that time he was a “Secured Party Credit,” whatever that means, and objected to being in court.

The charges themselves center on an incident back on July 17, when he allegedly battered corrections officer Craig Koenigs, and threatened to do the same to officer Darin Collins, with a mixing paddle, but didn’t succeed.

Hollingsworth is serving time for a conviction of murder in the first degree and kidnapping for a case out of Shawnee County, which occurred in July of 2006. He’s been at the local prison since November of 2007.

He along with others killed David Owen, an advocate for homeless people to call their families and get off the streets. He was killed near a homeless camp along the Kansas River near downtown Topeka. Hollingsworth was one of at least two people involved in the lynching death of Owen.

According to the Kansas Department of Corrections, there is no parole date in the murder case and with the Reno County charges, he’s looking at more time in prison, however, it may not matter.
