1:50:23Now PlayingA judge has denied a motion to dismiss a case after a man charged with aggravated assault alleged that the Bonneville County prosecutor misled him to believe he was a victim and would not be charged for the Compass Academy shooting.
Aaron Murdoch, 22, was charged with felony aggravated assault in March 2024, after he allegedly tried to shoot Taylor Aughenbaugh and/or another man “without intent to kill” as shots rang out among multiple people in the school parking lot on Feb. 12, 2024. Murdoch was allegedly shot in the leg by Aughenbaugh during the incident.
In September, Mike Winchester, the defense attorney for Murdoch, filed a motion to dismiss the case, alleging that Bonneville County Prosecutor Randy Neal led Murdoch to believe he would be granted immunity from charges if he spoke to prosecutors about the incident.
On Thursday, District Judge Jason Walker dismissed the motion, ruling that Murdoch was alerted multiple times by his subpoena and officials at the grand jury hearing that he did not need to testify if he felt it would incriminate him.
The next hearing in the case is a pre-trial conference on July 14. He is also scheduled for a jury trial on August 18. If convicted, Murdoch could face up to five years in prison.
