April 2011 Special KSC Docket (Salina)

Here are the criminal cases on the KSC docket for April 13, 2011 sitting in Salina. This was a special setting of the KSC and the first time in modern memory that the Court sat outside of Topeka.

These summaries are based on the issues listed in the briefs filed and may not very accurately or fully describe the actual issues in the cases. I recommend you review the briefs yourself if you would like more details.
