Jeffrey Chapman According to KWCH, Jeffrey Chapman has the tattoo 'murder' spelled backwards across his neck. Chapman is charged in the 2011 death of Damon Galliart, whose body was found by hunters. It was reported that defense attorney Kurt Kerns has filed a motion to allow a professional tattoo artist to remove or cover up the word. They say the tattoo is irrelevant to the State's case and prejudicial to Chapman if observed by the jury. Brian Bellendir, Barton County Sheriff, said tattooing and tattoo removal is illegal in jail. The trial is scheduled to begin April 28. Source: KWCH  |
| Man wants neck <b>tattoo</b> that says 'murder' <b>removed</b> before trial | PIX 11 Posted: 22 Apr 2014 05:08 PM PDT  Chapman's lawyer believes his "murder" neck tattoo will bias a jury. WICHITA, Kan. (PIX11) – A man facing murder charges wants his large neck tattoo that reads "MURDER" to be removed before his trial. Jeffrey Wade Chapman is on trial for the Nov. 2011 murder of a man whose body was found in a ditch by the woods in Great Bend, Kansas. The tattoo is written in a mirror image. Chapman's lawyers are requesting a tattoo artist not only remove the neck tattoo while the defendant is in jail, but that the tattoo isn't even mentioned at the trial. "Mr. Chapman's tattoos are not relevant to any material facts and Mr. Chapman asks for the court to exclude any mention of his tattoos at trial and further to be allowed to cover them up in an appropriate manner," the man's lawyer said. Chapman's laywer also wants the trial moved to a different county. "The fact that he has 'Murder' tattooed across his neck is irrelevant to the State's case and extremely prejudicial to Mr. Chapman if introduced at trial or observed by the jury," the lawyer added. |
