The Kansas Court of Appeals heard arguments Wednesday in the case of a Manhattan man convicted of murder.
Kamahl Bobian was convicted in November 2023 of murdering his estranged wife, Shanell, while she slept. He is serving a life sentence. Bobian is appealing the conviction on the basis of what his attorney describes as “prosecutorial errors.”
Attorney Randall Hodgkinson presented on behalf of Bobian, stating that the assistant district attorney during the trial had asked the jury to ignore the potential for second-degree murder and reckless manslaughter, contradicting the judge’s instructions.
