Centennial — Aaron Thompson’s attorneys argued for release of grand-jury testimony during a court hearing today in connection with the death of Thompson’s daughter, Aaroné.
At issue is the cost and who should pay for the transcripts.
Thompson was indicted on 60 charges earlier this year. If convicted of just the first charge, child abuse resulting in death, Thompson could face up to 48 years in prison.
There were no murder charges among the 60 counts.
Thompson reported his 6-year-old daughter missing on Nov. 14, 2005. He and his common-law wife, Shelley Lowe, were considered “persons of interest” in the case. Lowe died a year ago of a heart attack.
The little girl’s body has not been found.
