Three Defendants Seek Changes to Release Conditions in Amber Spradlin Murder Case

Categories: Local News

PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — The three defendants in the Amber Spradlin murder case are asking Pike Circuit Court to ease their pretrial release conditions following new DNA findings.

 

Michael K. McKinney III wants his home incarceration requirement removed.

 

Michael K. McKinney II is requesting a $5,000 cash bond and removal of drug testing and travel restrictions.

 

Joshua Mullins wants his existing $50,000 full cash bond changed to one secured at 10 percent, along with fewer restrictions.

 

A Kentucky State Police laboratory report provides strong support for Roy Kidd’s DNA being present on evidence collected from Spradlin’s shoes, sock and hair clip.

 

Defense attorneys argue the findings support less restrictive conditions for their clients. However, the report does not establish how the DNA was deposited.

 

The motions were filed October 27 and 28 and do not seek dismissal of the charges.
