Downtown land deal eyed for Lawrence as revival tool
Douglas County and the city of Lawrence weigh purchasing Allen Press property on 1000 block of Massachusetts and New Hampshire Streets. The plan could curb church preservation efforts, remove key downtown parcels from tax rolls, affect parking, and risk losing a potential major retailer while aiming to boost retail activity downtown. Local officials caution to weigh all sides before contracts.

Appeals court orders new trial in a shooting
The Kansas Court of Appeals ordered a new trial for Frank Zeilinger III of Grantville after his conviction for voluntary manslaughter in the 1988 killing of Jeff Bara in Grantville. The court noted jurors were not given an involuntary manslaughter instruction and could have found Zeilinger acted in self defense with excessive force. Retrying on voluntary and involuntary manslaughter is allowed, but not first or second degree murder.
