Court orders retrial on one count in Garden City abuse case
The Kansas Court of Appeals has affirmed convictions for a Garden City man on 10 counts of abuse involving his wife and two children.
The court, however, last week ordered a retrial for the defendant, Jaw Dah, on one count of felony criminal threat.
The lone issue the appellate court sustained was whether the threat that the jury convicted Dah for was “intentional” or “reckless” – something the jury was not asked to indicate.
The court upheld Dah’s other convictions on three counts each of aggravated battery and abuse of a child, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy, plus individual counts of aggravated assault and intimidation of a witness.
