GUILTY IN - Kegan Anthony Kline, 27, arrested Aug 29, 2020, 30 Counts associated with CSAM

[NoSpoonFeeding]

Still checking to see if any changes in KAK's court schedule. Only 16 days to the pretrial conference. Only two conferences left before the trial is supposed to start!

10/20/2022	Pretrial Conference Session: 10/20/2022 10:00 AM, Judicial Officer: Spahr, Timothy P.

For those who have the time to check this daily, it's only 10 days to KAK's next court event, a pretrial conference on the 20th. I'm anxiously watching to see if it actually goes to trial. Don't get toooo excited or start any wild rumors, if there is a cancellation or rescheduling, it may not mean much. In my opinion, it could mean a plea deal is in the works and maybe not that other thing that was thought of due to the river search.

It's the night of the 17th, KAK's pretrial conference is in 3 days, and it is still on the schedule for the 20th.
It's disappointing to have to wait so close to trial time to see if there will be a plea bargain or anything else going on with him.

Judge issues order ahead of KAK's pretrial hearing. Public and media will be allowed. Edit to add, no cameras in courtroom allowed in Indiana, but you can use electronic devices, text during proceedings.

Judge in Kegan Kline case issues 'decorum order' ahead of pretrial hearings, jury trial

PERU, Ind. (WISH) — A judge issued an order Monday about public decorum before this week’s pretrial hearing for Kegan Kline, a Kokomo man accused of 30 counts involving child *advertiser censored* and exploitation. Kegan has been accused of using the anthony_shots social media account to get sexual images and...

The only significance is, is that it actually took place and they are one step closer to trial. Unusual, in my opinion, for a defendant to have so much confidence in the ability/resources/commitment, of a public defender, that he would risk going to trial. The discovery materials alone would be a mountain of reading/paperwork.

During a four-minute hearing Thursday, Kline appeared on video from the Miami County jail with his attorney. Neither defense or prosecution ...

Kline is expected to be back in court on Dec. 22 for a final pre-trial conference. His jury trial is set for Jan. 18, 2023.

For now, it appears that KAK and TK were not involved with the suspect in the Delphi murders. This could mean that neither KAK or TK is BG.
The actual suspect is reportedly close in height to the original height estimate of BG.

Not that I can see. It's not guaranteed to show everything, but I check the posted court calendar regularly. Not too long of a wait to go, after more than 2 years. He could wait all the way up to trial to accept a plea.

Just an updated this morning. They are requesting to drop 5 charges at this time due to them feeling they will not be "beyond a reasonable doubt" threshold. They are also requesting to downgrade a number of charges as well.

Thanks. I think I got something to at least reference. Since there are so many charges I wasn't sure if you could get them all in.

Was just interested to see what was going to change in the future if granted.

IMO KK is making a plea deal due to the downgrading of charges. According to Google map I am 1 hr. 22 minutes from the Miami Co. courthouse, tempted to go on a lovely fall day road trip to get the new filings but I don't want to spend the $$ as the MS people will probably have them ASAP!

Interesting. So he was already charged with stealing anthony_shots identity and CSAM in 2016, before the Delphi murders happened? I did not know 6 of those charges were from 2016. Or did he steal someone else's identity before he stole anthony_shots? This charge list is very confusing. Are these dates the dates he was charged or the dates the offenses allegedly occurred? My opinion only.

As far as I know ( I am not an expert at all) they may just be the dates that the offenses occurred. Per mycase.in.gov the first filling and opening case was August 2020. To me this indicated the charges are from when the offenses occurred.

I think those are the dates that he started new accounts with fake names. Each separate date in 2016 is him opening a new fake account IMO.
