Roger Hollister
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - The Kansas Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction of Roger Hollister who died while serving time for the 2009 death of rural Horton resident Patricia Kimmi.
The court on Friday ruled on the conviction of Hollister, who died in 2013 at the El Dorado Correctional Facility where he was serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. He was 61.
Hollister was convicted in the death of the 58-year-old Kimmi, who disappeared in November 2009. Her remains were found in May 2010.
The Supreme Court ruled that although the death of a criminal defendant does not end the appeals process, it found evidence that the case was convincing enough to find Hollister guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
