Lawrence woman accused of murder to appear in court this spring

Christine Kaplan was found dead in her home in the 1100 block of New York Street on July 26, 2014. Angelica M. Kulp was initially charged with first-degree murder in connection with Kaplan's death.

A Lawrence woman accused of killing another woman in 2014 will next appear in court this spring.

Angelica Kulp, who faces a single charge of first-degree murder, briefly appeared in court Tuesday afternoon.

In court, Kulp’s attorney requested the hearing be pushed back to April to allow more time for discovery.

Kulp, 39, is accused of killing Christine Kaplan, 56, on July 22, 2014, intentionally and with premeditation.

Douglas County District Court Judge Kay Huff granted the attorney’s request, scheduling Kulp’s next court appearance — where a date will be set for her preliminary hearing — for April 12 at 2 p.m.
