O Ferd Johnson B3 1973 Suspect Awaiting Decision on Trial Whether Robert E. Roll, 43. who is accused of the March 10 first-degre- murder e of Sher- iffs Deputy Melvin Colebrook, over to 3rd District Court for trial, probably will not be decided until July. The reason for the delay is that City Judge Paul G. Grant, who heard the evidence presented during a two-dapreliminary hearing, gave Roll's attorney, Pml L. Hansen, until June 19 to prepare a memorandum outlining his arguments for a motion for dismissal he made Monday afk . the 41. will be bound y hearing On the June 19 date. Judge Grant told Mr. Hansen to deliver his memorandum to Deputy County Attorney Clint Balmforth, who is prosecuting tile case, so that Mr. Balmforth can prepare a written reply to it by June 26. In addition, the judge gave Mr. Hansen an additional five days after the June 26 date to answer Mr. Balmforth's reply to the motion. Set Date During or after the five days, depending on when Mr. Hansen answers Mr. Balmforth's reply to his motion. Judge Grant indicated that he vv ill set a date for making his decision on the motion and the hearing. In oral arguments for his motion Monday afternoon, Mr. Hansen argued that the case against the defendant should be .dismissed on grounds of insufficient evidence. Roll cannot be bound over for trial on a charge of first Machines Taken An air sander. two electric buffers and two mirrors, total value S $309. were stolen from Painting at 1623 State, according to police. Tri-Cit- y Auto or second degree murder, Mr Hansen declared, because no evidence of malice had been presented dunng the hearing. Malice is a necessary element for conviction on either of the murder charges Sudden Quarrel The most the evidence has shown, the defense attorney added, is that a sudden quarrel took place and that the deColebrook fendant, Deputy and Sheriff's Deputy David L. Miller, who was also involved m the incident, were acting in the heat of passion at the time of the shooting. Mr. Hansen, although he asked a total dismissal of the charge against his client, as well as any of the lesser of the included offenses charge such as second degree murder jr manslaughter, argued that at most, his client should be bound over for trial on a charge of voluntary manslaughter. Makes Threat Mr. Balmforth. on the other hand, argued that malice was shown by the defendant in his obtaining of Deputy Miller's service revolver during a fight and in making a threat, just prior to the shooting itself, of using the weapon. In reference to a defense allegation that the sheriffs deputies were making an illegal arrest of the defendant, Mr. Balmforth stated that the deputies had not made an arrest, but that Roll's wife had placed her husband under citizen's arrest. The shooting of Deputy Colebrook took place in the defendant's home, 3569 Warr Rd. (2589 South), when the deputy and Deputy Miller were summoned to the home to investigate the report of a family fight. m. wwm r-- 'f i i, s " eW Bountiful youth was injured in a collision with a truck when his pickup's brakes failed.
