HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Judge Trish Rose heard arguments in a civil case involving convicted murderer Charles Christopher Logsdon and took the issues raised under advisement.

Logsdon was convicted and sentenced for the killing of Jennifer Heckel, who was shot three times in her home on June 14, 2011.

Judge Rose sentenced Logsdon to life with an additional 23 years for other crimes.

His attorney, Sam Kepfield, argued over some of the testimony. Kepfield contends the statements made to police by co-defendant Billy Craig Jr. were coerced and used at trial. However, Craig was never called to the stand.

Logsdon claimed ineffective counsel at both the trial and appellate level.

District Attorney Keith Schroeder says all of the issues raised by Logsdon and his attorney have been heard by the Kansas Supreme Court. Although they acknowledged there were some errors at trial, they ruled those errors were harmless and didn’t affect the jury’s decision.

The state contends the murder was a case of mistaken identity and that the suspects intended to rob Kayla Salyer-Rodriquez, but apparently ended up at the wrong house.

Craig was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his part in the murder.
