Dismissal of Western Kansas murder case

Here is What the Judge Ate For Breakfast's report that the state will dismiss without prejudice murder charges that have resulted in two hung juries. The dismissal order indicates that the parties anticipate that it will be final unless the state discovers some new evidence in the future that "materially strengthens" its case.

Kudos to Dan Monnat and Kurt Kerns for persevering on this!

Here is the Hutch News article reporting on the dismissal. Here is the Wichita Eagle reporting on the dismissal.
