TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) The Kansas Supreme Court will hear arguments this month in the appeal of a death row inmate convicted of killing members of his family.
The state Office of Judicial Administration said Wednesday in a release the state Supreme Court will hear arguments for James Kraig Kahler’s case on Dec. 16. Attorneys for Kahler and the state will each have an hour to argue their sides, and the proceedings will also be broadcast online.
The Wichita Eagle reports that Kahler was sentenced to death for the November 2009 shooting deaths of his estranged wife, Karen Kahler; her grandmother, 89-year-old Dorothy Wight; and his daughters, 18-year-old Emily and 16-year-old Lauren.
Kahler raised several issues in his appeal, claiming trial error and issues with his death sentence.
