Appellate reverses DUI manslaughter conviction
A Kansas Court of Appeals panel reversed Roger Shaw's involuntary manslaughter conviction in the 2009 Franklin County traffic death of Aaron Kichler. The majority said prosecutors failed to prove all required elements and remanded for a new trial, citing possible alternative conviction theories. Judge Malone dissented, arguing remand was unnecessary.

Sixth Street mill and overlay project to begin Monday
The city will start a mill and overlay on Sixth Street between Lawrence Avenue and Iowa Street at midnight Monday. Crews will work overnight due to lower temperatures and lighter traffic as one lane remains open each direction. Delays for motorists are likely, and the project is expected to finish by August 10.

Downtown incentives split on new Lawrence project
Lawrence officials consider a 12 million incentives package for a northeast downtown redevelopment led by Doug Compton and Mike Treanor. Tax Increment Financing and a Transportation Development District would fund public infrastructure and private parking, with annual city payments tied to new tax revenues and subject to hearings and possible late fall final approval. East Lawrence Neighborhood Association opposes public subsidies, arguing the hotel retail and apartment office plan should stand on its own. Commissioners meet Tuesday at City Hall to vote.
