On Friday, Judge Richard Copeland overruled a motion from Bruner's attorney, Ross Rhoades of Neosho, to grant him bond as he awaits trial for the Nov. 1 shooting death of Missouri Southern State University offensive line coach Derek Moore at the Northstar 14 theater in Joplin.
Copeland granted a motion allowing Bruner to wear street clothes at his arraignment 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Jasper County Circuit Court. Copeland overruled Rhoades' motion to allow Bruner to appear without restraints.
Bruner, 39, Joplin, is charged with first degree murder and armed criminal action. Police say the murder took place when Bruner confronted his estranged wife, Dawn Michele Bruner, and Moore in the theater parking lot.
