After the attorney for murder suspect Ralph Fisher attacked the quality of the probable cause affidavit and questioned a newspaper reporter as to the accuracy of a quote in a previously published story, Kosciusko Circuit Court Judge Rex Reed denied all motions pending before him Monday afternoon. One of the witnesses expected to be called during the hearing instead had his attorney present a motion to quash the subpoena that would have brought him in to testify. Thomas Leatherman of Goshen, the attorney for Ralph Freddrick "Fred" Fisher, filed a motion in January for dismissal of the murder charge pending against his client, or that Fisher at least be released from custody pending trial because of an alleged violation of Criminal Rule 4, which guarantees a defendant's right to a speedy trial.
