TOPEKA – It didn’t take long for the Kansas Court of Appeals to make a decision in a Reno County criminal case.

In November, the Kansas Appeals Court held hearings in Hutchinson in the sentencing of 34-year-old Roberto Rincon.

Judge Trish Rose sentenced Rincon to 13 years in prison after being convicted for manufacture of methamphetamine, possession of ephedrine and lithium metal and anhydrous ammonia with intent to manufacture and possession of drug paraphernalia, as well as a gun charge from March of 2012.

The Appeals Court ruling Wednesday affirmed the conviction and sentence in the case.
