KANSAS CITY (AP) — A prosecutor told a judge Tuesday that a Missouri man accused of killing two brothers from Wisconsin admitted to authorities that he disposed of the bodies but denied killing the men.

Special prosecutor Stephen Sokoloff made the argument during a hearing in which a judge denied a defense request to have two charges of abandoning a corpse dismissed in the case against Garland Nelson, of Braymer, the St. Joseph News-Press&nbsp;reports.

Nelson, whose case has been moved to Johnson County from Caldwell County, also was charged last year with first-degree murder in the deaths of 24-year-old Justin Diemel and 35-year-old Nicholas Diemel, of Shawano County, Wisconsin. The brothers disappeared after visiting Nelson’s farm in July 2019, and their burned remains were later found in Missouri and Nebraska. Nelson has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.

Nelson’s attorneys argued that a person who is charged with murder cannot also be charged with abandoning the corpse of the alleged victim without violating the suspect’s right to remain silent and against self-incrimination.

But prosecutors contend that Nelson could have followed Missouri law by anonymously reporting where the brothers’ bodies were located, thus avoiding concerns about self-incrimination.

Prosecutor: Man admits disposing of bodies of brothers

An open seat has attracted two candidates with experience to
the Buchanan County Assessor’s race.

Democrat Chad Farrow serves as Buchanan County Chief Appraiser
and says the office has lost two veteran employees which it needs to replace,
plus it likely needs to add staff.

“Some of the things that we want to do is grow the office and
we might be able to do that next year with the ability to have a bigger budget
to put somebody else in there,” Farrow tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ
Hotline.

On-site inspections aren’t always practical, but remain the
best way to assess a property’s value, according to Farrow. Farrow says the
office has worked to make sure residents know who they are and why they are
there during on-site inspections.

“Because we do know that it’s scary living out in the county
and someone comes driving up the road and you don’t know who they are,”
according to Farrow. “A lot of that has come over the last four or five years.
We want to be more transparent.”

Republican Dean Wilson, a state certified appraiser who works
at Fairway Mortgage in St. Joseph, agrees the office does likely need to add staff.
Wilson says the Assessor needs to be good manager, but also remain sharp as an
assessor.

“I think the Assessor still needs to get out and look at properties
himself, not just rely solely on everybody else,” Wilson tells Birr on the KFEQ
Hotline. “If it’s possible, he needs to get out or she needs to get out and
look at some properties to stay in touch with the market.”

Wilson says a residence’s sale price is the best guide to its
appraised value.

“The definition of true market value is an informed seller and
an informed buyer; something that they are able to make the choice on on their
own and, again, without any pressure or any reason why they have to sell it,”
Wilson says. “There’s no motivated seller in that situation or motivated buyer.”

Voters will decide which of the two will succeed Buchanan
County Assessor Scot Van Meter, who is not seeking re-election.

🎤Forward Ever: Kansas State Librarian Eric Norris

An interesting race has emerged for Buchanan County Treasurer
as a familiar name challenges the man appointed to the office by the governor.

Jimmy Nash, a Democrat, is running for an office held, not
just by his father who recently retired, but also by his grandfather and his
great, great grandfather.

“It’s a really neat tradition that means a lot to me and my
family and something I would be really appreciative to get to serve in that
capacity,” Nash tells Barry Birr, host of the KFEQ Hotline.

Nash has left a 10-year career in juvenile justice to run for
the office so attached to the family name.

But Republican David Gall says a name is not a qualification.

“I’ve heard him say many times about he’s a fourth generation,”
Gall says, “but you know Barry, last I knew this is a public office, it’s not a
family business.”

Gall says his background in accounting makes him the most
qualified candidate.

Gall was appointed Treasurer by Governor Mike Parson in June after
long-time Treasurer John Nash retired.

Gall also is a realtor, which has drawn criticism from Nash
who says he’s ready to serve in the office fulltime.

“I’m going to be fully committed to this job,” Nash says. “My
grandpa was fully committed to this job. I’m not going to sell insurance. I’m
not going to sell real estate or something else on the side. This is my
fulltime commitment and my job that I’m going to do and I’m going to do it to
the fullest.”

Nash has left a 10-year career as a juvenile officer to run
for the office.

Nash claims, Gall, a realtor, cannot devote all his energy to
the office while still selling real estate. It’s a claim Gall flatly rejects,
saying his practice is to hold any real estate work until after hours.

“It will just have to continue to be afterhours and on the
weekends,” Gall says. “Like last night, I had to meet people at 6:30, because
there was an inspection done. So, that’s just what I have to do. It really gets
in the way of nothing at the courthouse, at all.”

Daviess/Dekalb County Jail Activity (10/1-10/16/2020) 

Montgomery is being held at the Federal Medical Center, Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, according to online jail records.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A woman convicted of fatally strangling a pregnant woman, cutting her body open and kidnapping her baby is scheduled to be the first female inmate put to death by the U.S. government in more than six decades, the Justice Department said Friday.

Lisa Montgomery is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Dec. 8 at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana. She would be the ninth federal inmate to put to death since the Justice Department resumed executions in July after a nearly 20-year hiatus.

Montgomery was convicted of killing 23-year-old Bobbie Jo Stinnett in the northwest Missouri town of Skidmore in December 2004.

Montgomery drove from her Kansas home to Stinnett’s house in Skidmore under the guise of adopting a rat terrier puppy, prosecutors said. When she arrived at the home, Montgomery used a rope to strangle Stinnett, who was eight months pregnant, but Stinnett was conscious and trying to defend herself as Montgomery used a kitchen knife to cut the baby girl from the womb, authorities said.

Prosecutors said Montgomery removed the baby from Stinnett’s body, took the child with her, and attempted to pass the girl off as her own.

Montgomery’s lawyers argued that she had been suffering from delusions when she killed Stinnett, but a jury rejected her defense. Her lawyers had also argued that she was suffering from pseudocyesis, which causes a woman to falsely believe she is pregnant and exhibit outward signs of pregnancy.

The Justice Department on Friday also scheduled the execution of a man convicted in the 1999 killing of two youth ministers in Texas. Brandon Bernard, 40, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Dec. 10.

Bernard and his co-defendant, Christopher Vialva, were convicted in the 1999 kidnapping and killing of Todd and Stacie Bagley, an Iowa couple who had stopped to use a payphone in Killeen, Texas. The couple agreed to give Vialva and two others a ride, authorities said. Vialva pulled out a gun, forced the couple into the trunk and drove around for several hours, stopping at ATMs to withdraw cash and attempting to pawn the woman’s wedding ring, according to prosecutors. Both the victims were shot in the head and placed in the trunk of their car, which then was set on fire.

Vialva was executed last month at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute.

The resumption of federal executions started July 14, with the execution of former white supremacist Daniel Lewis Lee. Since then, six others have been put to death and another man, Orlando Hall, is scheduled to be executed next month. Anti-death penalty groups say President Donald Trump is pushing for executions during the campaign season in a bid to burnish a reputation a law-and-order leader.

Before the resumptions of executions this summer, federal authorities had executed just three prisoners in the previous 56 years.

After months of conversations and public comment during school board meetings, the Savannah R3 School District Board of Education has decided to create a committee to address its mascot.

Savannah R3 Communications Coordinator Jess Gillett says in July, community members brought up concerns about the school's mascot, the Savages.

"We had an enormous amount of people show up at our board meeting on both sides of the mascot issue, either wanting to keep it for tradition's sake or lots of nostalgic reasons or those who felt like we should change it," Gillett tells St. Joseph Post. "So the board decided that the best thing to do at this point would be to form a committee."

Gillett says the committee will be made up of community members both for and against a change.

"They will research the Savage mascot, its history, its origins, what a change would mean financially, where that money would come from. They really will just do a lot of the leg work with researching the call to change."

Savannah community members can find the application to be on the committee on the <a href="https://www.savannahr3.com/o/savannah-r3/page/board-of-education--979">school district's website</a>. Gillett says the board is going through an application process due to the amount of people that have been at meetings to address the mascot issue.

"Really the point of the application is for us to kind of rein in that to a manageable number, definitely not so that we can weed out people we don't want on the committee, that's not the case at all, I know I've seen a little bit of that going around social media," Gillett says. "We just want to make sure that we're getting people who really are committed to the cause and understand the commitment of it and have something to bring to the table."

Gillett says in just 24 hours of the application being on their website, at least 25 people had already applied to be on the committee.

Applications are due by November 1st and school board members will select committee members before its regular meeting on the 10th.
