Little more information about the shooting death of 23-year-old Great Bend man Aron Villegas last November will be made public, at least until criminal proceedings begin. A ruling this past week by 20th Judicial District Judge Ron Svaty denied the Great Bend Tribune access to court documents that might have shed more light on the incident, noting the public can wait until the preliminary hearings of the suspects to learn the facts in the case. Svaty’s decision is unfortunate, Tribune Publisher Mary Hoisington said.
