“Actually, he’s probably looking at the death penalty. Kansas is good about that.”
Kansas is only good about the death penalty if you happen to read In Cold Blood.
Other than that, Kansas has not executed anyone in more than 50 years.
The guy who shot up the Jewish Community Center and later a woman at a Jewish retirement center was sentenced to death. I know of two others who pled out to live w/o parol rather than go to trial with the death penalty on the table. Another, Andrew Ellmaker, should be on death row but was 17 when he killed his social worker with a chainsaw. Oh, and the two Carr brothers are both on death row in spite of our stupid liberal KS S.Ct. It had to go to the US S.Ct. who reversed the KS court 9-0.
