Prosecutors turn over evidence in slain attorney case

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. (AP) - Prosecutors investigating the death of a prominent Illinois attorney have turned over more than 65 pieces of evidence, including a recording of an interview with the suspect.

Pharmacy student Timothy Michael Banowetz, 28, has been accused of killing attorney Randy Gori in January and holding two children captive at Gori's home in Edwardsville.

The other evidence turned over last month includes interviews with more than 30 people, police car video recordings and surveillance video from Gori's home.

Banowetz faces three counts of first degree murder and three counts of theft, among other things.

Investigators haven't commented on a motive, but the crime also included the theft of a Rolls-Royce SUV, cash and cellphones.

Banowetz has pleaded not guilty.

He remained in custody at the Madison County Jail. A message left at the Madison County Public Defender's office, which is representing Banowetz, wasn't immediately returned Sunday.
