Barton County Prosecuting Attorney Steven Kaderly announced last month he is seeking the death penalty for Bourne, who is now represented by Thomas Jaquinot, a public defender who specializes in death penalty cases.
.Bourne is serving a 15-year prison sentence, which was handed down by a Cedar County judge after Bourne admitted he had violated his probation by not attending a court-ordered Batterer Intervention Program.
Bourne is charged with first degree murder, statutory rape, and kidnapping. A charge of forcible rape was dropped.
Kaderly is being assisted by the Missouri Attorney General's office.
