Thumbs Down On Vern Miller Request Denied by Court
The Kansas Supreme Court rejected a rehearing sought by former Atty. Gen. Vern Miller and staff in a damage suit filed by Robert L. Kern and Judy E. Kern over alleged acts to take over a Parsons tavern for enforcement. The court sent the case back to Labette County District Court to decide if defendants acted within their duties. The denial followed arguments that officers may be liable if acting outside their authority.
