The attorney for Darrin Hirsh has requested either a judgment of acquittal or a new trial for the former Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper who was found guilty of aggravated assault, criminal threat and domestic battery last year by a Barton County jury.Hirsh’s sentencing was originally scheduled for Monday but is now set for May 9. But before that, District Judge Ron Svaty will rule on attorney Sal Intagliata’s motions, filed Feb. 12, that he set aside the verdict. The motions hearing will be at 9 a.m. on April 11.During the trial that concluded Dec. 22, 2015, Candice Hirsh, the defendant’s ex-wife, testified that in March of 2013 he held a gun to her head, made a threat on her life — “It will all be over soon”— and a threat on the lives of their children —“I will be taking them too.”
