Lots of success in Shawnee County

Here is a Topeka Capital-Journal article reporting that Wendell Betts won in State v. Roberts, getting not guilty verdicts in a Shawnee County attempted aggravated robbery and aggravated battery prosecution. The newspaper article says the jury was only out 40 minutes, although my sources tell me it was more like 30 minutes.

Other successes from Shawnee County in the couple of weeks include Cindy Sewell, who won in State v. Harrison, getting a not guilty verdict in a rape (force or fear) prosecution; Jennifer Roth, who won in State v. Patterson, getting a not guilty verdict in a felony criminal damage to property prosecution; and Stacey Donovan, who won in State v. Jackson, getting a not guilty verdict in a criminal threat prosecution.
