HARRISONVILLE, Mo. â The judge presiding over the Kylr Yust trial ruled Thursday that testimony and a wiretap from an ex-girlfriend of Yust can be heard during the trial.
Attorneys representing Yust had filed a motion to keep the testimony and wiretap out of the trial, alleging it was coerced.
According to prosecutors in 2008, Yust allegedly confessed to his-then girlfriend Katelyn Farris to killing Kara Kopetsky who went missing the previous year.
