Lawyer asks that accused killer of MSSU coach be freed on bond

Neosho attorney Charles Rhoades filed a motion today in Jasper County Circuit Court to allow bond for Jeffrey Bruner, 39, Joplin, the man accused in the November 1 murder of Missouri Southern State University offensive line coach Derek Moore.

Rhoades also filed a motion asking that Bruner be able to wear regular clothing and not have to have shackles during his preliminary hearing 1:30 p.m. Thursday, January 9, before Judge Richard Copeland.

Bruner is charged with first degree murder and armed criminal action in connection with the Nov. 1 shooting death of Derek Moore outside of Northstar Regal 14 Theater. Police say the murder took place when Bruner confronted his estranged wife, Dawn Michele Bruner, and Moore.
