State v. Wade, Kansas (Kan. 95,649, July 13, 2007). Kansas Supreme Court's reversal of client's First Degree Murder Conviction and life sentence and ordering of a new trial due to trial court's erroneous amendment of the charges to conform with the defendant's testimony during trial.

Manbeck, Allen County Case No. 01 CR 302, trial counsel for defendant charged with Involuntary Manslaughter DUI.
