Why would they be in such a rush? For that matter, why would they even want this to go to trial? Seems like a huge gamble - particularly when there have been confessions. Maybe they're attempting to push a plea bargain?

It doesn't make sense unless the defense is going to maintain that Hilt was there, but did not do anything to harm her ... and the other two are not telling the truth about what happened that night. Hilt's attorney may use the defense that the other two cut their deal (and lied) and put the blame on Hilt.

I hadn't thought of that (pushing the plea bargain), but maybe that's what the defense is doing. It could be that the DA hasn't offered Hilt the same deal as the others. If Hilt is the one that stabbed her, then that's probably what killed her. The others may get a lighter sentence for being there, but not killing her. I just don't know how that works here. I know that with some crimes, just being present, you'll end up with the same charges as the one who commits the crime.

I would imagine that Mattox and Calbeck don't want a LWOP sentence since according to them, Hilt actually killed her (if that's what's going on). I'll bet they have agreed to a sentence of some sort ... so many years and then the possibility of parole in exchange for testifying against Hilt. Hilt may be maintaining that one of the other ones stabbed her. I'm not sure how they'd prove who did what. They are all sleazebags and deserve to go to prison and if Hilt stabbed her, he should get a harsher sentence, IMO. Maybe the defense figures that if they go to trial, the jurors might not believe the testimony of the other two and they are willing to take their chances, which would take us back to your thoughts on pushing a plea bargain. Push the DA against the wall and tell him they'll take their chances with a jury. Then see if the DA folds and gives them what they want. I wonder how much input the family has on something like this?
 
Amazingly, EVERYONE seems to be very quiet. Her family, Mattox, Calbeck and Hilt's families, the DA and the various attorneys...very quiet on all fronts.
 
So far, nothing new for MATTOX

Thanks, Lola. It's going to be interesting to see what happens. I don't have the time this week to go out to the courthouse. I watched the news tonight and didn't hear anything about the trial. I'll try and watch the news at noon and in the evening to see if they cover the trial.
 
I've checked the Star, WDAF and KMBZ...so far nothing.
 
Here's my view on the situation:

Gerald "Scott" Calbeck- He's my main question mark in this case. It sounds like he is a follower and started confessing everything once they were booked. The real question IMO is did he go along with them knowing that they were going to murder her, or did he go along with them out of fear for his own safety? I bring up that topic, because he knows these guys are very dangerous and hellbent on hurting this girl and if he decided not to go along with them they could have easily turned on him. I believe that Howe (the DA) is going to have a tougher time with him then with the other two. I doubt the defense will allow him to take the stand, unless they absolutely have to have his testimony. Not really sure of what kind of sentence he'll get, we'll have to wait until his trial to get a clearer picture on things.

Dustin Hilt- He is guilty as charged. There is no way he will be able to get any of the charges dropped to a lesser charge. IMO he was the brains of the whole operation. He lured her in and once he started driving her car, the trap had snapped shut. All it took was a sign he had worked out with the other two and that's when they began beating her. The reason I say he gave them a sign is because it seems way too coordinated to be a random act of violence. Once she regained consciousness and they found out, Hilt pulled out a hunting knife, stabbed her numerous times, and drove off with his friends after disposing of her body like nothing had happened. The fact that he sent her a text message which set the trap, him carrying a hunting knife (Hunting knives tend to be big, so he wouldn't be carrying it around with him without a reason), and the fact that they tried to get rid of the blood stains in the car with bleach means that he had clearly thought this out and unfortunately his plan succeeded. He'll probably appeal his sentence (he'll get life without parole), and hope that he gets a chance at parole.

Joseph Mattox- The hitman of the gang, he was responsible for the initial attack. Once they stopped at the convenience store, he probably waited around for her to go inside and then grabbed the car jack handle. Once he had stashed it in the back seat, the plan was set in motion. He's as guilty as Hilt and he'll get the same sentence as him. Likewise he'll also appeal to get a chance at parole.

In the end these animals carried out a heinous crime that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Someday they will realize how horrible of a crime they committed. To have someone pleading for their life and end up stabbing and beating them to death. Even Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski who was a notorious hitman for numerous mafia families said he regretted murdering someone who was praying to God to spare his life. They will have a long time to reflect on the mistakes they have made in their lives and why they are sitting in a 8 x 9 cell.

I guess the trial is over. Guilty on all three counts. I saw nothing on the news about this trial. There may have been something in the newspaper, but I didn't see anything. I'll have to look around. I don't always read the paper each day, so I may have missed an article.

Shawnee man found guilty in ex-girlfriend’s murder
By DAWN BORMANN
The Kansas City Star

4/14/10

Johnson County jurors on Wednesday convicted an 18-year-old Shawnee man of first-degree murder for the beating and stabbing death of Keighley Ann Alyea.

A jury also found Dustin Hilt guilty of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery.

Hilt is one of three defendants in the case. Gerald “Scott” Calbeck of Merriam and Joseph Mattox of Overland Park have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery in the case. They are awaiting trial.

Authorities said that Hilt once dated Alyea and the two had a turbulent relationship. On the night of her death, Alyea confronted Hilt about sleeping with her stepsister. Alyea was dead hours later.

Defense lawyer Paul Cramm told jurors that Hilt doesn’t deny he was at the scene of the murder. However, Cramm argued that Hilt was a bystander in the crime.

Hilt was too afraid to tell police what happened because he was terrified of his older cousin, Mattox, who was the one responsible for Alyea’s death, Cramm told jurors. According to court testimony, Alyea met up with the three men after midnight on Sept. 30, 2009. Alyea quickly angered Mattox, who responded by beating her in the head with the handle of a car jack. Mattox and Calbeck beat the young woman while Hilt yelled at them to stop her screaming.

District Attorney Steve Howe said what happened next was like a scene from the mob movie “Goodfellas”.

Believing she was dead, the men put her body in the trunk and headed to the country to dump her. But eventually they heard kicking and screaming from the car trunk.

The men stopped the car and Alyea got out and faced them, Mattox told authorities.

Friends described the young woman as scrappy, but an already injured Alyea was hardly a match for the three men. Her body was found days later in a Cass County field. A medical examiner said the young woman was choked, stabbed 30 times and suffered several blunt force trauma injuries including a broken skull.

Witnesses said that hours after the crime Hilt and Mattox used Alyea’s money — still stained with her blood — to buy cigarettes and soda.

Hilt’s new girlfriend, Brittney Ann Atkerson, saw the blood and asked about it. Hilt told her “not to worry about it.” Authorities later found Hilt’s clothes that were stained and splattered with Alyea’s blood.

“He kidnapped her, he robbed her and left her in a field to die,” Howe told jurors.

It will be interesting to see if the other two go to trial. I still think those two are going to take a plea deal of some sort.

Dustin Hilt, 18, was found guilty of first-degree murder, kidnapping and robbery in 18-year-old Keighley Alyea's death. Authorities described Hilt as Alyea's ex-boyfriend.

KMBC's Peggy Breit spoke with Alyea's parents after the trial. Pat Hayes and Kelley Bastel said that they're satisfied, but with two more defendants left in the case, it's not over for them yet.

Hilt's cousin Joseph Mattox and friend Gerald Calbeck will be standing trial in the case soon. Prosecutors said that both men participated in the crimes against Alyea.

Hilt's sentencing is scheduled for July 13.

Hilt Found Guilty In Keighley Alyea's Death
Hilt First Of 3 To Stand Trial For Killing
POSTED: 6:04 am CDT April 14, 2010
UPDATED: 1:25 pm CDT April 14, 2010

Dustin Hilt was found guilty on Wednesday of first-degree murder in the death of 18-year-old Keighley Alyea.

The jury debated the case for two hours on Tuesday and asked two questions of the judge. One question was about a jury instruction. The other question was what would happen if a juror was compromised. The jury foreman wondered if the trial would be affected if a juror was discussing information from another case during the deliberations. The judge instructed the jury to listen to the evidence in the Hilt trial only.

Jury convicts Shawnee man in murder case
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
<snipped>
After a seven-day trial, a Johnson County jury Wednesday found Shawnee resident Dustin Hilt, 18, guilty of murder and several other charges in the death of Keighly Alyea of Overland Park.

Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe announced that Hilt was convicted on counts of first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery connected to Alyea’s death on Sept. 30, 2009. Hilt’s sentencing was set for 1:30 p.m. July 13.

Hilt was one of three charged in the murder case. Hilt’s cousin, Joseph Mattox, 22, of Overland Park, and Gerald “Scott” Calbeck, 19, of Merriam, are each awaiting trial on the same charges.

Dustin Hilt Found Guilty of Beating, Killing Teen Ex-Girlfriend
April 14, 2010
<snipped>
Hilt was also found guilty of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated robbery. Alyea's body was found almost a week after she had gone missing, beaten and stabbed.

Alyea's mother Kelley Bastel said justice was served and she came out of the courtroom with a smile and a strong sense of relief. "Definitely was a personal case, but Keighley got justice and that's what we wanted today, to happen," Bastel said.

Her father, Pat Hayes, left the courthouse with family and friends at his side. He praised Overland Park Police, and the District Attorney's Office for their hard work. But he was reserved in his comments, as he knows this is just the first of three trials he must sit through to get justice for his daughter.

Two more defendants still need to stand trial for Alyea's murder. Scott Calbeck and Joe Mattox go to trial later this year.

Shawnee man convicted in murder of Keighley Ann Alyea
Apr. 14, 2010 11:21 PM
<snipped>
Keighley Ann Alyea fought for survival. As she lay injured inside her own car trunk, the young woman kicked, screamed for help and even tampered with the vehicle’s tail lights in a frantic attempt to arouse the suspicion of other drivers.

“The last of her life was spent in that trunk. This is the last desperate act of a woman who has no opportunity to cry for help,” Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe said. “She’s attacked, alive, hurt and asking for help but no one is there.”

Witnesses said that hours after the crime Hilt and Mattox used Alyea’s money — still stained with her blood — to buy cigarettes and soda.

Hilt’s new girlfriend, Brittney Ann Atkerson, saw the blood and asked about it, but Hilt told her “not to worry about it.” Authorities later found Hilt’s clothes that were stained and splattered with Alyea’s blood.

Hilt's defense attorney, Paul Cramm, claimed Hilt witnessed Alyea's killing but didn't participate. Cramm reportedly claimed that Hilt screamed at Mattox and Calbeck to stop beating Alyea. Mattox allegedly beat Alyea with a car jack handle Hilt supposedly didn't tell authorities because he feared Mattox, his cousin.

Guilty verdict in Keighley Alyea slaying
April 15, 2010
<snipped>
Dustin Hilt, an 18-year-old from Shawnee, has been convicted of murdering his former girlfriend, Keighley Alyea in September 2009, Dawn Bormann and Joe Lambe report. Prosecutors alleged that Alyea was killed after she confronted Hilt about sleeping with her stepsister. The defense argued that, while Hilt was present, he didn't actually kill the young woman -- that it was his cousin, Joe Mattox, who still awaits trial. (As does a third suspect, Gerald Calbeck.)
