Man charged with killing 4 in Omaha objects to evidence

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Lawyers for a former Indiana doctor accused of killing four people with ties to an Omaha medical school say evidence gathered during his arrest should be excluded from his trial.

Anthony Garcia's attorneys argued Friday in a Douglas County District Court that police did not have probable cause to arrest Garcia in Illinois in July 2013 and that search warrants filed in the case were unconstitutionally overbroad in scope.

Garcia is charged with first-degree murder in the 2008 deaths of the 11-year-old son of Creighton University pathologist William Hunter and the family's housekeeper, as well as the May 2013 deaths of Creighton pathologist Roger Brumback and his wife.

Judge Duane Dougherty gave both sides several weeks to file briefs outlining their objections to and support of the search warrants.
