However, a threatened injunction was not the reason the party was canceled, he said.

Man convicted of child abuse, manslaughter
By Karen Blakeman Of the Kansan staff
A 21-year-old Lawrence man was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and felony child abuse yesterday morning by Douglas County District Judge Mike Malone.
Genaro Ray Lewis, who was implicated in the Aug. 10 death of 21-month old Duane Bees and in the June 30 abuse of 3-year-old Bryan Williams, pleaded no contest to the charges.
Malone ordered a presentencing investigation and set a sentencing date of Oct. 31. Lewis is being held without bond until sentencing.
The penalty for voluntary manslaughter is five to 20 years in the state prison system and a fine of up to $15,000. The penalty for abuse of a child is three to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Malaysia
Flory also agreed not to ask for longer sentences under the habitual criminal act. He said that in November 1983, Lewis was convicted of felony theft in Johnson County District Court.

The child abuse charge in connection with the death of Beers was dropped, and the first-degree murder charge was replaced with voluntary manslaughter in the plea agreement.
Flory said he agreed to the plea bargaining because, although the state had enough evidence to support the first-degree murder charge, a jury in Barton County had handed down a lesser conviction in a similar case.
Flory said the state's evidence would have shown that Beers had "experienced trauma, by blows or pressure, to the torso, legs and neck.
