The Kansas Supreme Court has reversed one of the convictions against Benjamin Appleby in his 2002 slaying of Ali Kemp, throwing out the attempted-rape charge, David Klepper reports. They say it was a case of convicting him twice for the same offense. Appleby's murder conviction stands, though his attorney tried to get it thrown out.

So they are throwing out the attempted rape charge because he "couldn't get it up?" That's o.k., maybe he'll be able to "attempt" it with Bubba at the Big House.

Uhhh, attempted rape is not the same crime as murder, it is an additional crime.
Throw these leftist, activist, soft-on-murderer judges off the Kansas bench.

Agreed... it's not the same charge, it's completely different.
