The former Fort Campbell Army major charged in the 2015 Pembroke triple murder case appeared in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday morning for a pretrial conference.
Christian “Kit” Martin’s new attorney, Tom Griffiths, filed two motions — a motion to set adversary bond and a motion regarding grand jury discovery. Judge John Atkins asked Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Prather if they had a response to the grand jury discovery. He stated they would tender a more thorough response and more discovery that has come about as well as some subpoenas.

Martin is accused in the fatal shootings of Calvin and Pam Phillips and their neighbor Ed Densereau in November 2015. Calvin Phillips body was found in his home on South Main Street in Pembroke, while the body’s of his wife and their neighbor were found in a burned-out car in a cornfield on Rosetown Road a few miles from the victim’s homes.
Martin was indicted by the Christian County Grand Jury in May for three counts of complicity to murder, second-degree burglary, attempted arson, and three counts of complicity of tampering with physical evidence. He is being held in the Christian County Jail with no bond.
