Hess Yields Law License In Plea Deal
Former Kansas state senator Paul Hess surrendered his law license as part of a plea agreement with the Johnson County district attorney. Disbarment is unlikely, with the high court to issue an opinion. Hess pleaded guilty to embezzling an insurance settlement and faces sentencing and possible prison, restitution, and a separate civil contempt motion for fleeing to Egypt with his children.
