Judge Eric Williams sented 28-year-old Amanda Dutcher of Wichita to 29-months in the Kansas Department of Corrections and 12 months of post release supervision, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
Just after 7:30a.m. May 14, 2025, police responded to a report of a cutting in an alley near 12th and Broadway in Wichita, according to police spokesperson Brad Wright. First responders found a 47-year-old woman with multiple stab wounds. Police arrested Dutcher.
