The two men suspected in the murder of a Hutchinson woman made first appearances this afternoon where one of the defendants came into the courtroom yelling at the other who was already present.

32-year-old Charles Logsdon was yelling at 48-year-old co-defendant Billy Craig, Jr., asking, “why are you doing this to me?” He kept saying, “I didn’t do this.”

Later, when the complaint was read to him, it was the same thing. He told Judge Joe McCarville that he doesn’t understand the charges, since he didn’t do anything. (watch video)

Craig sat silent through all of this only speaking at one point when Judge McCarville asked him if he understood the charges. He state he did.

The two are charged with first degree murder, conspiracy to commit first degree murder, conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Both have previous convictions as well as other pending cases.

It’s alleged they are responsible for the death of 27-year-old Jennifer Heckel on the evening of June 14, 2011. She was found shot to death in her home at 501 Coronado in a northwest residential neighborhood of Hutchinson. It appears she was a victim of mistaken identity.

The bonds for Craig and Logsdon have been set at $500,000, and neither requested a reduction in bond.

Their was no real announcement on when they would appear in court again on this case, but they did discuss other court dates for other cases and those will come up at various times in the coming weeks, some in front of Judge Joe McCarville, and others in front of Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen.

Meanwhile, last week, when the state announced the suspects in the murder of Jennifer Heckel, District Attorney Keith Schroeder announced that they were dropping the conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery against Matthew Barnes and that they were considering dropping the charges against Jason Casanova.

But, even if they do, Casanova has other problems, he was in court Monday morning, where Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen read a formal complaint of manufacture of meth, or in the alternative attempt to manufacture meth, possession of lithium metal, anhydrous ammonia, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to manufacture and theft, or in the alternative, possession of stolen property.

According to the criminal complaint, the alleged crimes occurring sometime between March 3, 2011, and August 31, of this year.

He is still charged with conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery as is Kylie Hartman who Schroeder said they would definitely take to trial. As we told you in earlier stories, Judge McCarville has set a preliminary hearing date in these case for October 25-27.

The drug case against Casanova will now be placed on a waiver-status docket.
