Preliminary Hearing Begins in Travis Belt Case

December 10, 2019December 12, 2019 Editor 118 Views McPherson County District Court

De ja vu seemed to be happening Tuesday morning in the case of Travis Belt. It’s like he had been there before. That is probably because he was in August of 2017. For the second time, Belt, 27 of Little River, is going through a preliminary hearing that will determine if he goes to trial and faces five felonies including first-degree premeditated murder of 58-year-old McPherson resident Steven Carlson who was found dead in his home at 548 Eshelman in April 2017. The original charges were filed in 2017. A jury trial was scheduled for April 23, 2019. However, the State dismissed the case without prejudice, stating that they wanted time to allow for further testing of DNA found at the scene. On June 19, 2019, the State refiled the case with the complaints being the same as the original filing.
