kemp case: appleby to face murder one
The preliminary hearing for Benjamin Appleby, the man charged in the murder of former K-State student Alexandra “Ali” Kemp, was this week, and his videotaped confession to Connecticut police was played in court. Johnson County District Judge Steve Leben ruled that Appleby will stand trial for capital murder.
Two Kansas City Star stories about the hearing and confession can be found here and here (use Bugmenot).
You can read everything I’ve written about this case here. I’ve always felt a sort of personal connection to this case, since I met Ali when I was a graduate teaching assistant at Kansas State. She came to talk to me about a permission slip to get into my section because she was having a hard time with her instructor, and then sat in on my section a couple of times.
