According to Cowley County Attorney Chris Smith, a motion hearing was held before Judge Jim Pringle in the case against Justin Thurber, Friday, in the Cowley County Courthouse.
Both the prosecution and defense have agreed not to discuss the motions that were brought forward. The hearing was closed to the public.
"Another closed hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Jan. 9," said Smith. "The trial is still on track to begin as scheduled."
Closed hearings are held so as to diffuse any slip-ups or surprises this close to trial, said Smith.
"We want to do everything correctly and for everything to go as expected."
Jury selection for the trial is scheduled to get underway by the end of this month.
Thurber, 25, is charged with capital murder in the death of 19-year-old Cowley College student Jodi Sanderholm, of Arkansas City.
