Lost moose roams western Kansas

Sheriff's Department reported no one has been injured.
Kansas is not part of a moose's usual territory, according to wildlife officials. Moose usually roam more aquatic, northern states such as Montana and Alaska.
Pace said it's probably a case of spectators getting too close to the animal and disturbing it.
Moose spotts were reported earlier in Kansas near Liberal, Ashland and Ellsworth. Wildlife officials said there's no way to be sure the moose near Ulysses was the same one seen earlier, but it could be.
Proponents of death penalty testify before state committee
Victims say it's deterrent
TOPEKA - The Kansas Legislature should reinstate capital punishment, law enforcement officials and victims of violent crimes testified before a state Senate committee yesterday.
by John P. Milburn Kansan staff writer
Testimony continues today before the committee for federal and state affairs. Opponents of the bill are scheduled to testify.

Most of yesterday's testimony stressed that imposing the death penalty on persons committing premeditated murder would serve as a deterrent.
deterrent.
"Today a person can only be sentenced to life in the state of Kansas, regardless of how ruthless and cold-blooded that person may be," said Delbert Fowler, president of the Kansas Peace Officers Association, a statewide police organization.
Fowler said that if a person convicted of a heinous crime was given the death penalty, he no longer could pose a threat to others and kill again.
Emil Tonkovik, KU professor of law, agreed, citing studies by the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Department of Justice indicating that capital punishment was an effective measure. He said it would not deter all murders but some.
defer in the case which said he did not testify as a proponent of capital punishment, but rather to provide a balanced view of the facts.
that came from opponents and I want to make sure that you base your decision on a balanced view of the facts.
"As my position was two years ago, I am not here as an advocate of the death penalty," he said. "I want to counter some of the distorted facts
tactics.
"And if you decide to pass the bill, that you pass a good one."
Cost a concern
The cost of imposing the death penalty was a concern of opponents during debate a year ago, Tonkovich said. It was argued that the measure would cost the state $7 million to $10 million a year.
A proponent of these figures is David Gottlieb, KU professor of law. He will testify before the committee today.

Tonkovich did not question the analysis of the underlying cost of the death penalty, but did question the statistics that Gottlieb relied on for the study.
the study.
"The fact is, to reach those figures would require the state to impose the death penalty (at) eight times the national average — something that is highly unlikely, particularly in view of the fact that the death penalty bill was wisely narrowed," Tonkovich said.
using eleven percent said that public opinion in the province and in the country showed support for the death penalty. He said a KU poll two years ago showed that Kansans supported the death penalty by a 3-to-1 ratio.
vich said.
The bill would permit the death penalty in cases of aggravated murder in the first degree, the murder of a criminal justice officer performing his duty, or a murder when the perpetrator was engaged in illegal drug activity.
The death penalty would give prosecutors a tremendous bargaining chip in cases when the most heinous crimes were committed, Tonkovich said. Defendants would be able to
accept true life sentences instead of the death penalty, he said.

John Peterson, general counsel for Gov. Mike Hayden, said Hayden supported the death penalty and was prepared to sign a bill passed by the Legislature. Peterson said that Hayden was concerned that such a bill be in compliance with constitutional safeguards.

Paul Heitzman, Eudora resident,
testified before the committee as a death penalty proponent.
debut penny, P. Heitzman told the story of his 20-year-old daughter Patricia, then a KU sophomore, who was murdered during a robbery in Kansas City, Mo., in 1986.
He said that because the crime was committed in Missouri, the criminal could face the death penalty and that was some compensation. However, he said nothing could take the place of his daughter's life or ease the pain of her death.

"If we cannot afford the price of justice, we are poor people indeed." Heitzmann said.
