Defense attorney Dow Bonds has filed a nine-page brief, detailing his position why Craig Heidt should be granted a new trial for the August 2008 murders of his father Philip Heidt and brother Carey Heidt. Bonds filed his brief Feb. 17 and said a shotgun that had been turned over to authorities near the end of the week-long December 2010 trial should have been investigated. The shotgun, a Remington 870 12-gauge, was similar to the one missing from the Heidt home and also capable of firing the rounds that killed Philip and Carey Heidt.
