Ruling over Kline case yields little for Planned Parenthood
Kansas Supreme Court harshly criticizes former Attorney General Phill Kline for his conduct in the Planned Parenthood probe yet does not impose sanctions. It orders Kline to turn over a complete set of gathered documents to the attorney general and assigns no immediate punishment. The decision leaves future action to a disciplinary administrator and Kline’s successor as Johnson County district attorney, Steve Howe, as a hearing date approaches without a trial timetable. The ruling highlights tension between Kline and the court while keeping the case in limbo.
