State liable for $200000 judgment over Stephan defense
Attorneys argue the state must pay the $200000 judgment against Attorney General Robert Stephan since it chose to defend him in the breach of contract suit filed by Marcia Stingley. The Stingley case resulted in a 1988 federal jury verdict after Stephan disclosed terms of a confidential settlement. Krueger and Thompson presented their brief to the Claims Against the State Committee, noting the state’s defense obligation and potential indemnity under the Kansas Tort Claims Act.
