Topeka reports John Collins a divinity student on trial for four weeks for murdering his father. Prosecutor Safford opened with a forceful summary of the state’s case, detailing interior knowledge of the Collins home, tampered folding doors, missing revolvers, and a motive centered on avoiding robbery.
