 A contested hearing will be held for a Grand Rapids man charged in connection with the murder of a Hibbing man. 35-year-old Joseph Thoracon appeared in court on Tuesday. His attorneys requested a contested hearing in order to challenge some of the evidence in the case. Now it is unclear what evidence the attorneys are looking to contest. The attorneys also had questions about the transcript from the grand jury proceedings. Thoracon and his girlfriend 22-year-old Kaleen Greeninger were charged in connection to David Heyman's death with two felony counts of first-degree murder and two felony counts of second-degree murder. Thoracon's next hearing will be on February 23rd and Greeninger's next hearing will be on January 24th.
