Motion denied in Holton sex crimes case

(KAIR)--A motion filed by the state of Kansas, in connection with the sex crimes-related conviction of a Holton man, has been denied.

The Holton Recorder reports the Kansas Court of Appeals denied the motion filed in April involving 24-year-old Jacob Ewing, who is currently serving a 30-year sentence.

The State of Kansas filed the motion following a late March ruling by the appellate court that Ewing was denied his constitutional right to a fair trial during a series of Jackson County District Court trials held in 2016 and 2017.

Late last month, the Court of Appeals denied the state's motion, which affirmed the order from the appellate court that Ewing’s conviction should be reversed or remanded. That means Ewing could get a new trial in Jackson County.
