Judge dismisses suit to void Kinzenbaw conviction
Judge Paul Kilburg dismissed the Linn County suit by David Kinzenbaw to void his voluntary manslaughter conviction for the 1981 shooting death of Danita Straw. The order allowed Kinzenbaw to pursue the claim on his own and granted attorney Mark Rettig's withdrawal as meritless grounds were found. Kinzenbaw remains serving a 10 year sentence after his August 1982 conviction following a murder charge.
