April 2014 Special KSC Docket (Hays)

Here are the criminal cases on the KSC docket for April 13, 2014 in Hays, Kansas. This is a special setting of the KSC at Fort Hays State University and is the only time any of us remember an evening session of an appellate court. 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. Don't forget, arguments are streamed live at the appellate court website and archived (here) if you would like to watch any of these arguments.

[Update: here are some photos from the travelling docket.]
