HUTCHINSON – Attorneys for two teens accused of conspiracy to capital murder at Hutchinson High School were before juvenile Judge Patty Macke-Dick on Tuesday over whether there should be a gag order, sealed files and closed hearings in the case.

Ayrton “Alex” Marroquin, 14, and Carson Cabral, 15, are accused of making threats against officials at the high school.

Attorneys for the teens, Stan Juhnke and Greg Bell asked that the gag order be granted saying they think it would be in the best interest of their clients because of the high profile nature of the charges.

Juhnke argued that there maybe mental evaluations done on the two teens. They asked that the judge at least look at sealing documents on a case-by-case basis.

Judge Macke-Dick denied the overall gag order, but took the others under advisement including whether to close future hearings to the media and the public.

The investigation began when a student came forward on March 8 and expressed concerns about a threat to students.

The school Resource Officer was notified and other Hutchinson Police Officers were called into investigate.

After search warrants were served, they recovered plans for making pipe bombs as well as sketches and plans identifying where certain teachers and staff would be so they could be targeted.

Police also confiscated items that could be used to build explosive devices.

No new dates were announced for future hearings.
