Court orders new trial in child sodomy case
The Kansas Supreme Court reversed Osage County jurors verdict convicting Nelson Lem Mons of aggravated sodomy and ordered a new trial citing a conflict of interest because his attorney's law partner represented another man charged in the same case. The 6-1 ruling cited a messy record and potential prejudice in Lem Mons case, while Justice Herd dissented noting Peterson pled guilty earlier.
