Special Assistant County Attorney Todd Hiatt, the prosecutor in the case against Montgomery County Sheriff Bobby Dierks, called KGGF radio in response to Monday's update. He asked that we clarify to the public that he "has not yet presented evidence" against Dierks, but he does believe he has enough for a 3-day trial.

Prosecutor Hiatt welcomed KGGF to contact him and said he is happy to make himself available in the future for comment. Due to legalities, he is not able to comment on the case until further motions are filed, such as "motion to suppress evidence" or a motion to make further statements. In the meantime, Hiatt provided process and procedure to KGGF's Kim Avery, such as how to obtain the probable cause affidavit as well as copies of his own and Defense Attorney Battatori's public responses that were necessary to obtain an affidavit, and how to get a copy of the defendant objections.

It was explained that according to statute KSA 22-2302 - available online at Kansas Office of Revisor of Statutes or www.ksrevisor.org - due to a change in the law, probable cause affidavits are now easier for the public to access. For questions, contact the County District Clerk at 620-330-1070. Interestingly, Prosecutor Hiatt pointed out, "There are not a lot of charges and cases against a sheriff." Therefore, he said he does not know how the case will go. Stay tuned with KGGF 690 AM for updates.
