(KMZA)--The Kansas Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of a Frankfort man on charges stemming from a head-on collision in 2009 that killed a Marysville teenager.
The decision, announced Friday, upheld a Marshall County jury’s conviction of Jason Lee Brammer on a charge of involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol and having no liability insurance.
Authorities say Brammer’s truck collided head-on with a vehicle driven by Taylor White on a rural Marshall County road in October 2009. White was killed.
Three hours after the crash, Brammer's blood alcohol concentration was determined to be .11, or .03 higher than the legal limit.
On appeal, Brammer argued the jury was instructed on alternative ways to commit involuntary manslaughter, and that there was insufficient evidence for some of those means. He also challenged three jury instructions. The court rejected each argument and affirmed Brammer's conviction.
