Olathe ? Evidence found during the search that turned up the bodies of two women in barrels on John E. Robinson Sr.’s Kansas farm should be thrown out, his lawyers say.

The evidence found June 3, 2000, was conducted under an illegally obtained search warrant, the defense asserts in a motion filed Monday in Johnson County District Court

Robinson, 58, is charged with capital murder of the two women found in the barrels on his Linn County farm, and with killing another woman, whose body has never been found, in Johnson County. Prosecutors in Cass County, Mo., also have charged Robinson in the deaths of three women whose bodies were found in barrels there.

“All stages of the proceedings were fraught with legal error to the detriment of Mr. Robinson’s rights,” the defense wrote of the preparation and execution of the search warrant.

The motion said the Johnson County judge who issued the warrant did not have jurisdiction in Linn County, and neither he nor police had probable cause for the search.

Also, the officers who performed the search, from the Overland Park and Lenexa police departments and the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, did not have authority in Linn County, the motion contends.

Further, many items seized in the search were not listed in the warrant request and cannot be used as evidence unless prosecutors prove they are legally admissible, the defense motion said.

Prosecutors can respond in writing before the motion to suppress is argued in court.

Robinson’s previous attorneys, whom he fired last summer, filed a similar suppression motion in July. His new attorneys withdrew motions filed by their predecessors.

Meanwhile, Robinson’s attorneys on Wednesday showed two hours of television news coverage of the case during a hearing on a change of venue motion. The defense is requesting that the trial, scheduled for September, be moved from Johnson County.

Robinson’s attorneys say the case has gotten too much media attention for him to get a fair trial in the county.

Judge John Anderson III was expected to rule on the motion by the end of the week.
