OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A judge is considering requests to suppress evidence filed on behalf of an avowed white supremacist charged with killing three people at two Jewish sites in Kansas.
Previous attorneys for 74-year-old Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. filed the motions, but the Aurora, Missouri, man is now representing himself. He asked a judge Wednesday to withdraw the motions, but the judge refused and said he would rule at a July 17 hearing.
Miller is charged with capital murder in the April 2014 killings in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park.
Miller has said he is dying from emphysema and went to the sites to kill Jewish people. All three victims were Christians.
Law enforcement officers who responded in the chaotic first moments were among the witnesses who testified Wednesday.

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — Law enforcement officers are testifying during a hearing for an avowed white supremacist accused of killing three people at Jewish sites in Kansas.
The hearing being held Wednesday is to consider motions in the case against 74-year-old Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. He’s asking the judge to bar witness identifications of him from being used during trial.
The officers testifying responded to the deadly shootings at the two sites in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park.
Miller is charged with capital murder in a shooting spree that killed a 69-year-old man, his 14-year-old grandson and a 53-year-old woman.
Miller has said he is dying from emphysema and went to the sites to kill Jewish people. All three victims were Christians.
Miller is representing himself, although attorneys are on stand-by.

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A white supremacist accused of killing three people last year at two Jewish sites in Kansas is due in court for another hearing in the run-up to his August capital murder trial.
Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. got permission last month to fire his attorneys and represent himself during a contentious hearing in which he repeatedly interrupted Johnson County District Judge Kelly Ryan.
The hearing Wednesday will focus on two motions from Miller: one asking a judge to let him stay in the courtroom during recesses and another to suppress certain evidence.
The 74-year-old Aurora, Missouri, man has told several news outlets, including The Associated Press, that he is dying from emphysema and that he went to the sites in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park to kill Jewish people.
