Motion to dismiss filed for accused murderer of MSSU coach

Jeffrey Bruner's new lawyer didn't waste any time.

Online court records indicate that Neosho lawyer Charles Rhoades has replaced public defender Darren Wallace as Bruner's attorney. In his first action, Rhoades filed a motion to dismiss and a motion for a bill of particulars (a detailed statement of charges) this morning for his client.

Bruner, 39, Joplin, is charged with first degree murder and armed criminal action in connection with the Nov. 1 shooting death of Missouri Southern State University offensive line coach Derek Moore outside of Northstar Regal 14 Theater. Police say the murder took place when Bruner confronted his estranged wife, Dawn Michele Bruner and Moore.

The next hearing in the case is scheduled for 9:05 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27 before Judge Richard Copeland.
