A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for a man charged with conspiracy to commit murder in Leavenworth.
The hearing for Jeffery M. Samulczyk is scheduled for Feb. 24 in Leavenworth County District Court. The date for the hearing was selected Friday as Samulczyk appeared in the court.
Samulczyk, 37, is charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and interference with law enforcement.
The charges are connected to the stabbing death of Joshua Gilson, who was found dead Oct. 30 at his Leavenworth home.
Gilson’s wife, Alexandra, faces a charge for allegedly killing her husband.
Evidence will be presented during the Feb. 24 preliminary hearing, and a judge will determine if there is sufficient evidence for the case against Samulczyk to go forward.
Defendant seeks information about confidential informant cases
The Leavenworth Times
A man who is facing an attempted murder charge in Leavenworth County is requesting information about investigations involving a confidential informant.
The request made on behalf of Daniel W. Owens was discussed Monday during a court hearing.
Owens, 45, appeared Monday for his arraignment. Defense attorney Adam Chingren said his client pleaded not guilty to the charge of attempted second-degree murder.
The crime is alleged to have occurred Feb. 13, 2019, at a residence in Easton.
The victim testified during a June 28, 2019, hearing that he was shot multiple times after Owens allegedly forced his way into the home.
