September 2018 Special KSC Docket (Manhattan)

Here are the criminal cases on the KSC docket for September 24, 2018, held in Manhattan, Kansas. This is a special evening setting of the KSC at Manhattan High School.

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 over the internet at the appellate court website and archived (here) if you would like to listen in to any of these arguments.

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