Conviction in sheriff death overturned in Kansas
Kansas Supreme Court overturns the death verdict of Scott D. Cheever for the 2005 killing of Greenwood County Sheriff Matt Samuels. The decision cites unapproved psychiatric testimony and Cheever’s lack of consent, saying the error violated his Fifth Amendment rights and cannot be harmless. The ruling returns the case for a new trial, with potential retrial options unclear.
