Lottery suspect seeks to pare bail limits in Topeka
Richard Lee Knowlton, a former Kansas Lottery employee from Topeka charged with stealing 63000, seeks removal of home confinement and electronic monitoring. He faces remaining restrictions such as a computer-use ban, while his adult children may be minimally contacted as potential witnesses. The request argues his ties to Topeka and lack of prior charges reduce flight risk. A Tuesday hearing will address a separate request to disqualify attorney William Rork amid claimed conflicts.
