Law flaw frees meth makers in Franklin County
Franklin County inmates convicted of manufacturing meth face possible release as state law on compounding is found deficient. The Kansas Supreme Court ruled unclear distinctions between compounding and manufacturing, prompting hoped fixes and possible sentence reductions for about 10 longtime offenders locally and up to 375 statewide. County Attorney John Dowell notes future appeals will test whether original or reduced terms apply.
