Attorneys representing former Carroll County Sheriff’s deputy Matthew Herpstreith returned to court as he faces charges of reckless homicide and obstructing justice in the 2024 death of 18-year-old Jackson Kradle. Herpstreith’s defense has filed a “bill of particulars,” pressing prosecutors to clarify exactly what evidence and legal arguments they plan to present at trial.
This legal maneuver is designed to obtain more detailed information about the prosecution’s theory of causation. A significant hearing addressing this request has been scheduled for May 15th, where both sides will outline their positions and the next steps in the legal process.
