Attorneys for Adam Longoria, the man accused of killing 14-year-old Great Bend Resident Alicia DeBolt have asked a judge to dismiss all charges, claiming prosecutors deliberately and maliciously tried to deny their client a fair trial.

The motion was filed ahead of a new preliminary hearing for Adam Longoria scheduled for Wednesday on amended charges of capital murder and other offenses in the August 2010 death of Great Bend resident Alicia DeBolt.

Defense attorneys contend the state’s revelation that Longoria had been working as a confidential informant has put his life in danger at the Sedgwick County jail.

They argue that motions describing facts of the case are an attempt to try the case in the media.

The Kansas attorney general’s office declined comment Monday on the defense filing, citing a gag order.
