Shawnee County Judge Cheryl Rios agreed Sept. 29 to allow Chandler to live with her nephew about 50 miles away, in Olathe, Kansas, if she posted bond. Chandler will be subject to GPS monitoring and is barred from contacting or discussing the case with potential witnesses.
Rios also granted a change of venue for Chandler's third trial, citing"the excessive amount of media coverage" of the case. Chandler's release is the latest development in a 20-year legal saga that began when Sisco and Harkness were gunned down in Harkness' Topeka home. Chandler was arrested and entered not guilty pleas to two counts of first-degree murder in 2011. In 2012, a Shawnee County jury convicted her on both counts. She was sentenced to life in prison.
Woman scorned. They hate rejection.
