The courtroom is mostly empty today, except for a few family members a TV20 news crew, and law enforcement as motions are presented to get ready for the upcoming trial of John Kalisz, who is facing numerous charges for the murder of Dixie County Officer Chad Reed.

Judge Roy Bean dismissed a motion to place a gag order on the media and all parties and witnesses, saying that it was "inappropriate to do this at this time." Major Scott Harden was called as the first witness as a part of a motion filed to attempt to surpress the suspect's statement on January 27th at Shands Hospital.  The defense is claiming that Miranda warnings were "inadequate" and that Kalisz was under the influence of hospital-administered "mind altering drugs," and that his statement should be thrown out. Special Agent for FDLE April Glover was also grilled on the specifics about the January 27th interview with the suspect.

The motions are expected to continue throughout the day and into another date to be determined.
