Juror with Chest Pain Replaced in Quadruple Murder Trial
A juror with chest pains and recent heart surgery was replaced by an alternate during Paul Kiser’s Reno County quadruple murder trial. Kiser, 23, faces four counts of first degree murder for the deaths of Timothy Peters, Deanna Peters and their children Joshua and Angela. The trial continued with no expected disruption. In other notes, Judge Victoria Kumorowski, mother of the 11-year-old nominating her for Kansas Mom of the Year, heads to Jacksonville for the 1994 Mom USA contest. A former Emporia minister, Thomas Bird, seeks parole despite his 1983 wife killing case, while Lorna Anderson awaits a December 1995 parole hearing. In Topeka, the Senate approved creating a Buffalo Soldiers memorial at the Statehouse to honor the 9th and 10th Cavalry units stationed at Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth.
