(KAIR)--The re-trial process has started for an Atchison man convicted of murder in 2002.
58-year-old Kirk Wilson appeared in an Atchison County courtroom Wednesday afternoon for a bond hearing and pretrial motions. Judge Martin Asher denied a motion from Wilson's attorney, Patrick Edwards for a preliminary hearing, and set a bond of $500,000.
A hearing for pretrial motions was set for August 25th, and a trial was scheduled to start on September 29th.
The Atchison County Court ordered a new trial for Wilson in 2013, in the March 2000 shooting death of 38-year-old Kurt Boldridge, saying that his counsel was ineffective. The state appealed the ruling, but it was upheld by a Kansas Court of Appeals panel in December of last year.
Boldridge was shot in the head with a shotgun as he slept at his rural Atchison home. Wilson was one of four people, including the victim's ex-wife Lisa Boldridge who was convicted of the crime.
Lisa Boldridge's re-sentencing hearing is scheduled to commence on November 3rd.
