RAPID CITY, S.D. – A Rapid City man charged with murder is seeking to have part of his statement made to law enforcement be suppressed at his upcoming trial.
Luke Birch, 22, is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of McGarland Walker in March of last year.
Birch’s lawyers have asked for part of his statement made on the night Walker’s death be suppressed because they believe it violates their client’s Miranda Rights.
No decision was made during the hearing this week.
Birch is to stand trial in early September.
