Forensic specialists were called in after a mushroom hunter found human bones Monday afternoon near a quarry in rural Cass County. One skull was found the first day of the search and a second the day after. Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/news/local...#storylink=cpy |

A KC attorney has helped me understand sentencing phase. (It’s complicated).
Yust faces 45 years (M2+VM), if he does *not* make parole and sentences run consecutive. Yust is 32. Max age would be 77, but *could* get credit for time served, so out earlier. @kmbc #YustTrial |

Kylr Yust has been sentenced to life and 15 years for the deaths of Jessica Runions and Kara Kopetsky in Missouri.
The punishments are the maximum sentences for each conviction. |

What really happened is that the jury recommended max sentences for both convictions, but the actual sentencing will not take place until June 7.

You should link your source when doing that. Fox 4 was wrong.

How do other inmates successfully rehabilitate dealing with people like that.

But I explain to the jury that reasonable means it's based upon reason, common sense and experience. And I give this example: Let's say that my defense is that aliens came down and inhabited Dan Defendant's body so that to all appearances, Dan committed this crime. In actuality, though, he was under control of aliens and he is therefore not guilty. Can the prosecution disprove that? No, they cannot. And they do not need to disprove that theory because, Hollywood aside, there is no reason, common sense or experience that would ever suggest such a preposterous notion. But can you doubt because some people were mistaken in what they saw? Maybe some people have a bias against Dan Defendant. Maybe there is a reasonable explanation that fits the facts just as well as guilt. To convict, you must have no doubts at all along those lines. You cannot say, "I think Dan did it." You cannot say, "Dan probably did it." You cannot even say, "Dan most likely did it." If you say, "Dan most likely did it," you just found Dan not guilty. No, in order to convict, every last one of you must agree that Dan did it, that you are firmly convinced he did it and there is no doubt based upon reason, common sense or experience that would suggest otherwise. Otherwise, the law requires you to say 'not guilty.' |

By the time you get to crimes of this nature and sentences of this length, rehabilitation is way, way, way down the list of sentencing goals. Sentences of this type and length focus upon community condemnation and protecting society by isolating dangerous individuals. |

There's no doubt in my mind that scum murdered both girls. That said, the evidence in the Kopetsky was probably sparse just due to the age of the case. Manslaughter is probably the best that they could prove. The Runions death may have had a little more evidence, so that's why murder 2 was possible. Have those convictions run consecutively.
