The Kansas Supreme Court has upheld the convictions of a woman who participated in the deaths of three people who were strangled or smothered with trash bags in her Topeka home.
In a unanimous opinion released Friday, the high court also affirmed Kora Liles' sentences on 11 charges, including three counts of felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated kidnapping.
Liles was one of five people charged in the March 2017 deaths of Matthew Leavitt, 19, Nicole Fisher, 38, and Luke Davis, 20, in a Topeka basement. Police said the violence stemmed from an unproven rape allegation against Leavitt.
