( KNZA )--A hearing has been set for June on a motion to dismiss the complaint against a Topeka woman charged with helping her husband avoid arrest in the 2009 murder of a rural Horton woman.

Rebecca Hollister's attorneys filed the motion late last month in Nemaha County District Court seeking dismissal of a complaint that alleges she helped her husband, Roger Hollister, avoid arrest after the murder of 58-year-old Patricia Kimmi.

Roger Hollister died March 20 while serving a life prison term for Kimmi's death.

Rebecca Hollister's attorneys say in the motion that she was given immunity before she testified against her husband. The attorneys contend she can't be charged based on statements she made under immunity.

Oral arguments on the motion will be heard during a hearing June 17th before District Judge Jim Patton.

A preliminary hearing in the case, which had been set for April 22nd, has been continued. The outcome of the hearing on the motion will determine whether it’s rescheduled.
