HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Hutchinson man whose robbery and kidnapping convictions were overturned by the Kansas Court of Appeals, only to be convicted at a second trial will have his case go back before that same court.
Sixty-one-year-old Leroy Randall is appealing his length of sentence. Randall was convicted in March of 2020 on five counts including aggravated robbery and two counts of kidnapping.
Randall was originally sentenced to nearly 25 years for the robbery of the Dollar General store in 2015. During the case, Randall tried to represent himself after going through six attorneys. His case and first trial wandered through the court system for more than two years.
When Randall suffered numerous health issues, Judge Joe McCarville appointed an attorney and refused to let him represent himself. The Court of Appeals ruled that McCarville erred in that action and granted a new trial.
The new hearing will be without oral arguments as part of the summary calendar and is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 10.
