TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A 42-year-old Kansas man claims he didn’t have effective counsel during a retrial of his death penalty case.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports  King Phillip Amman Reu-El wants a Shawnee County judge to void his two consecutive sentences, as well as his convictions based on no-contest pleas.

He was convicted in 2005 of capital murder and other charges in the killings of two women in Topeka in 2013. Those convictions were overturned, and the case was sent back for retrial.

During his second trial, Amman Reu-El says he was misled into thinking a no-contest plea wouldn’t be used by the Kansas Supreme Court to deny a pre-trial action he filed in 2014.

Amman Reu-El changed his name from Phillip D. Cheatham Jr. while awaiting retrial in the capital murder case.
