Kahler is accused of shooting his estranged wife, their two daughters and the wife's grandmother on Nov. 28, 2009, at the grandmother's home near Burlingame, Kan.
His attorneys argued the case was tainted because authorities seized documents related to a divorce case filed by his wife and a domestic assault case in Columbia.
But Jones ruled any taint from the documents could be eliminated by keeping them out of evidence.
