Kirk Wilson
(KAIR)--A January sentencing date is set for the man previously convicted of a 15-year-old Atchison County murder but granted a new trial.
According to court documents, Kirk Wilson Friday entered a plea of no contest to one count of voluntary manslaughter in Atchison County District Court as part of an amended complaint.
That cancels the jury trial that had been set to start January 12th.
Sentencing is now scheduled for January 13th.
Wilson was previously convicted of murder for the 2000 killing of Kurt Boldridge, who was shot in the head with a shotgun while he slept at his Atchison County home.
In 2013, a new trial was ordered for Wilson, based on what was cited as “ineffective counsel” at the time of his conviction.
