NEWBURGH, Ind. (AP) - The attorney for a southwestern Indiana man accused of fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend is challenging the evidence that led to his client’s arrest.
Defense attorney Mark Phillips wants to suppress 22-year-old Isaiah Hagan’s statements to police in part because he said an investigator didn’t inform Hagan of his rights to remain silent and to consult a lawyer before questioning.
Hagan is charged with murder, felony murder, robbery and obstruction of justice in the death of 20-year-old University of Southern Indiana student Halee Rathgeber. Her body was found at a Warrick County soccer complex the morning of April 24. She died of a gunshot wound to the head.
