Could hold Ohlwine trial this fall The upcoming murder trial for Kurt Ohlwine, North Webster, could happen in the very near future. Kosciusko County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Miner stated last week that it could happen this fall. A pre-trial hearing between Miner; Vern Landis, the court’s appointed attorney for Ohlwine; and Kosciusko Circuit Court Judge Richard Sand, has already taken place. During the hearing, the three reviewed the psychological evaluation of the 19-year-old youth charged in the murder of Malinda Young, Syracuse. Judge Sand reported that the pre-trial will resume in two-to-three weeks, and instructed the attorneys to keep in touch. At the time the three get back together, an official trial date may be set. Miner and Landis reviewed “informally” the Bowen Center’s report on Ohlwine’s psychological state of mind. An official statement concerning his mental state will be made by the Bowen Center in a few days, according to Miner. According to court records filed after Ohlwine confessed to the murder, the Webster teenager said he shot the girl on two seperate occasions in the vacant Webster Lake residence. The home is located just off the shores of the lake, and east of the North Webster cemetery.
