Kansas killer appeals convictions
By Stacy Smith Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA — The defense attorney for Nathaniel "Yorkie" Smith, one of Kansas' most notorious killers, appealed his client's convictions yesterday to the Kansas Supreme Court on grounds that Smith was not given a fair trial.
Benjamin Wood, chief appellate defender, contended that the prosecution withheld evidence that might have proved Smith was innocent during the 1983 trial.
"It really is an unbelievable issue," Wood said. "This case involves proven lying by the prosecution."
Wood said the introduction of Smith's prior conviction for second-degree murder in Kansas City, Kan.,
and two alleged prior incidents of anal sodomy in the Kansas penitentiary prejudiced the jury and should not have been presented during the trial.
Wood also maintained that the evidence submitted during the trial did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Smith was guilty of any of the crimes, including three counts of first-degree murder, because his nephew and adoptive brother, Roger Smith, lied on the witness stand.
"Where's the evidence?" Wood asked the justices. "It's just not there.
"Roger and Nathaniel had bad blood between them. Roger even told a friend he was going to kill him."
Smith is appealing his 1983 convictions on three counts of first-degree murder, three counts of aggravated
battery, four counts of aggravated kidnapping, two counts of attempted aggravated robbery, three counts of aggravated assault and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Smith committed the crimes after he was paroled from the Kansas State Penitentiary, where he was serving a 12-year sentence for the murder of Roosevelt Chase of Kansas City, Kan. He served eight years of his sentence.
Three months after he was paroled, he was charged in Allen County with the 1982 murders of Steven Mangus, 16; Tom Walsh, 17; and Adeline Fisk, 59. He also was charged and later convicted of the beating of Gerald Short, 15, who lost sight in one eye from the attack.
Allen County attorney, Nanette Kemmerly-Weber, said that Smith
received a fair trial, although there were some misunderstandings with evidence.
"The state concedes that Mr. Smith was not given a perfect trial. No one is ever given a perfect trial. But he was given a fair trial," she said.
Kemmerly-Weber, however, said that the jury knew that Roger Smith was given immunity for some crimes in exchange for his testimony.
Wood said that Roger Smith had a reputation for lying and that he only testified against his brother in order to save himself from going to prison on other charges.
"They knew the kind of man he was," she said. "But they chose to believe him anyway."
