Judge to Rule on Defense Motion in Kissel Murder Case

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) -- A Superior Court judge is expected to rule whether lawyers for a Massachusetts man charged in the killing of Greenwich real estate mogul Andrew Kissel can present evidence implicating Kissel's ex-wife.

Defense attorneys for 22-year-old Leonard Trujillo of Worcester filed papers last week in Stamford Superior Court asking permission to introduce the evidence.

Judge Richard Comerford said Thursday he wants to finish all pretrial business Monday.

Prosecutors say Trujillo was hired by his cousin, Kissel's former chauffeur, to kill Kissel.

The defense motion claims Kissel's ex-wife, Hayley Wolff, allegedly hated Kissel. It claims she checked his life insurance policy shortly before his death.

Wolff has denied any involvement in Kissel's death. Testimony in the trial is set to begin July 13.
