Ashton 
homicide: Motion 
to suppress evidence rescheduled

DIXON – A hearing Thursday was rescheduled for Monday to decide whether to allow at trial evidence that Eric Lemons had sex with Kaylyn Gideon while her roommate lay dead nearby.

Lemons, 28, of Ashton, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the death of Todd Harn, also 28, who was killed April 5 in his Ashton apartment by a blow to the head with a rock.

Lemons’ attorney, Public Defender Bob Thompson, is seeking to quash evidence that the two had sex, calling it “irrelevant” to Harn’s murder.

Prosecutors want to use it only to show Lemons’ “propensity to behave oddly or in a fashion that would outrage the jurors of this community,” he said.

Gideon, 21, of Ashton, is charged with obstructing justice for allegedly giving Lemons supplies to clean up Harn’s murder.
