Lawyer asks for no shackles at accused child killer Bobby Bourne's next hearing

When a motions hearing for accused child killer Bobby Bourne is held Thursday, June 19, his lawyer does not want Bourne to be in shackles.

A motion to that effect was filed Tuesday in Barton County Circuit Court.

Bourne, 35, Lockwood, faces charges of first degree murder, kidnapping, and statutory rape in connection with the August 19 death of 12-year-old Adriaunna Horton of Golden City.

Barton County Prosecuting Attorney Steven Kaderly is seeking the death penalty. Bourne is represented by Thomas Jacquinot, an attorney who specializes in capital cases.

Bourne is currently serving a 15-year sentence, which was handed down in Cedar County after he admitted he had violated his probation by not attending a court-ordered Batterer Intervention Program.

As noted earlier in the Turner Report, Bourne was on probation for charges of domestic assault, assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest when Adriaunna Horton was raped and murdered..

As noted in the August 22 Turner Report, Bourne remained free even after he was arrested in Dade County after being charged with assault on an underage girl and assaulting the girl's mother.
