(KAIR)--A man charged in the 2021` death of a fellow inmate at a Leavenworth detention center has been found guilty by a Leavenworth County jury.
A release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, a jury last week found 30-year-old Richey Farmer guilty of voluntary manslaughter for the Aug. 2, 2021, death of Scott Wilson.
At the time, both Farmer and Wilson were inmates at CoreCivic's Leavenworth Detention Center.
According to court documents cited in the release, Farmer struck Wilson with a plastic food tray and then used his feet to kick and stomp him.
