On Friday, Oct. 30, District Court Judge Carey Hipp revoked Richard Musil’s probation in two cases and ordered him to serve his underlying sentences of 69 months in the Kansas Department of Corrections.

Musil was originally sentenced on Oct. 8, 2019. After waiving his rights to a preliminary hearing, a jury trial, and to appeal, Musil entered guilty pleas and was granted probation.

After a hearing on the allegations that Musil had violated the terms of his probation, Barton County Attorney Levi Morris argued to the Court that Musil had violated his probation, that he had committed a new offense on probation, and asked the Court to revoke his probation and send him to prison.

After hearing the arguments of Musil’s Attorney, Don Anderson, the Court found that Musil had violated his probation in several instances, that he had committed a new offense while on probation, and the Court revoked his probation and ordered him to serve his underlying sentences.
