Tentative date set for accused Brevard deputy shooter
The cases against two people accused of killing Brevard County Sheriff’s Deputy Barbara Pill are moving forward, though one suspect still remains without a tentative trial date.
Brandon Bradley and Andria Kerchner are each accused of murder in the deputy’s death and will go to trial separately.
Earlier this week Circuit Judge Morgan Reinman heard final arguments in Kerchner’s case related to a motion to suppress evidence that could be used at trial.
Kerchner’s attorney has previously argued that statements Kerchner made to police after her arrest should not be used in court because Kerchner was on drugs at the time. The judge said she would rule on that motion by early November and has set another hearing in Kerchner’s case for Jan. 15.
A tentative trial date in Bradley’s case is set for Jan. 27. No date has been set for Kerchner’s trial, and prosecutors have not said if they will seek the death penalty in her case.
Pill, 52, was fatally shot March 6, 2012 when she pulled over a vehicle connected to a Melbourne robbery.
