Kansas AG Seeks Restitution From Murderer's Payout
Attorney General Robert Stephan filed a suit in Douglas County District Court to recover 500 dollars paid to convicted murderer John William for his crime story. The funds, intended for the Crime Victims Compensation Board, were partly spent by William, with a temporary restraining order ordered to stop further expenditure. The case bases on a 1986 Kansas statute directing proceeds from such contracts to go to victims’ compensation. Trial set for January 17 with possible wage deduction from Paul Lim’s pay if the board is not fully reimbursed.
