The Leavenworth Times
A judge has denied a motion that sought to prosecute a man in Leavenworth for an attempted murder charge a second time, according to court records.
The judge made the ruling Friday during a hearing in the case of James D. Thompson.
Thompson, 34, previously was charged with attempted first-degree murder in connection to an August 2015 shooting in Leavenworth. During a 2017 trial, the charge of aggravated battery was presented to jurors for consideration as a lesser included offense to the attempted murder charge. And jurors convicted Thompson of the aggravated battery charge instead of attempted murder.
Thompson also was convicted of other charges related to the 2015 incident.
