- Bakersfield men plead not guilty in Idaho kidnapping, slaying
MONDAY, JUL 14, 2008 8:06 PM
Two Bakersfield men accused in the April slaying of a Meridian, Idaho, man say they are not guilty of first-degree murder and kidnapping, the Associated Press has reported.
Prosecutors in Ada County, Idaho have accused John Joseph Green, 28, and Stanley Hahn, 44, both of Bakersfield, of killing Doug Halpin, 44, as they beat and tied him up during an April 5 kidnapping.
Halpin?s bloodied body was found in the home of Karen La Nae Miller with his hands and feet bound by a black cord, police said. Duct tape was wrapped around his head and mouth.
Halpin died from asphyxia from the beating, according to the coroner. Miller is charged with aiding and abetting first-degree murder and kidnapping in connection with the case.
Prosecutors have not yet characterized the relationship between Miller and the two men. But court records describe Miller as Halpin?s former girlfriend and that the pair had a history of domestic trouble.
A break in the case came when investigators learned Hahn used his cell phone in Meridian at about the same time Halpin died.
Both men were arrested by Bakersfield police.
Kern County Superior Court records show Hahn and Green each have had several scrapes with the law ? though nothing so serious as their current charges.
Hahn pleaded no contest five years ago to misdemeanor grand theft, burglary of a vehicle and receiving stolen property. And court records indicate he pleaded guilty in 2005 to driving under the influence of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Green pleaded either guilty or no contest to a variety of misdemeanors in 2006 and 2007, including driving with a suspended license, defrauding an innkeeper, vandalism and resisting arrest. Details of a felony arrest in 2000 were not immediately available.
A trial date for the pair has not yet been set.
