Another attorney named for Grissom
The Associated Press
OLATHE — Another attorney has been appointed for Richard Grissom Jr.
Johnson County District Judge William Gray yesterday appointed Overland Park lawyer Thomas J. Erker to represent Grissom in the murder case.
Grissom is accused of abducting three Johnson County women in June 1989 and killing them. Their bodies have not been found.
Gray criticized Sedgwick County Public Defender Richard Ney, whom he appointed to the case last week.
Ney balked at the appointment because of "unacceptable conditions" set by Gray.
Gray said he merely passed on the conditions set by the state's public defender system.
Grissom had been represented since November by Andrew Warren of the public defender's office in Johnson County, but Warren was removed from the case June 27 because of a conflict of interest.
The judge ordered Ney removed from the case yesterday and named Erker.
Another public defender in Warren's office was representing that inmate, so Warren asked to withdraw.
Ney could have sought an extension if he were concerned about being unprepared to take the case to trial Aug. 27, Gray said yesterday.
The conflict arose when prosecutors notified the court that a county jail inmate could be called to testify against Grissom.
"I assume Mr. Erker will file any appropriate motions," Gray said.
