DeAnda appeals judge ruling in 2008 murder case
Joaquin DeAnda, 24, of Garden City, serving life with 50 years before parole for the 2008 death of 16-year-old Julia Quintana, appeals Finney County District Judge Michael Quint's denial of vacating his June 2011 guilty plea. The Kansas Supreme Court ruled his original sentence unconstitutional because a judge rather than a jury imposed it. The ruling prompted the appeal.
