HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas Court of Appeals on Friday affirmed a decision by Reno County District Court Judge Tim Chambers to suppress evidence in the approaching murder trial of Michael Brisco.

He is charged with murder in the September 2013 shooting death of 26-year-old Sem Adrien.

Other charges include criminal possession of a firearm, aggravated intimidation of a victim or witness, possession of methamphetamine and solicitation to commit perjury.

The judge suppressed statements made by Brisco after the third time he mentioned he was done talking.

Authorities say Brisco twice before stated that, but then started talking again on his own.

The third time, Police Detective Jamie Schoenhoff initiated the conversation.

Deputy District Attorney Tom Stanton had argued that the defendant consented to cooperate with officers during both interviews.

The defense contended Brisco was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

No date for when the trial will begin or if the state will ask the Supreme Court to take up the matter.
