Judge Rules Docking Can't Grant Paroles
Shawnee District Judge Bery Johnson ruled Gov. George Docking cannot grant paroles and that about 29 issued since July 1957 are invalid. He held a 1957 act vested parole powers in a three man board, not the governor, while preserving the boardless authority for shortening sentences or issuing pardons. The case involved Aubrey Brooks Leigh and potential re arrest orders for 20 parolees, with appeals planned to Kansas Supreme Court.
