INDIANAPOLIS â Valparaiso resident Connor Kerner has asked the state Appellate Court to find that Porter County prosecutors improperly played a recording during trial of the two murders he was convicted of carrying out on Feb. 25, 2019, at his grandparents home near Hebron.
The challenge to that recording and another claiming to capture a confession are part of the 19-year-old s appeal of his conviction and 179-year sentence in the killings of Thomas Grill, of Cedar Lake, and Molley Lanham, of St. John.
Kerner further argues his lengthy sentence is inappropriate for a juvenile and that the state appellate courts have revised at least four such sentences for young people.
