RENO COUNTY — Reno County District Attorney Keith Schroeder has filed a petition against Judge Trish Rose with the Kansas Supreme Court to have a Kansas teen convicted of murder moved from a juvenile facility to an adult jail

He also wants the high court to order the Judge to go ahead with sentencing of Sam Vanochen and skip another mental evaluation as part of the pre-sentence investigation

In August, a jury convicted Vanochen of the two counts of murder for the killing of his mother and sister who died after he set fire to the family home on Sept. 26, 2013.

The high court ordered Judge Rose to present a brief by October 11 on what legal reason she used for denying the state’s requests

The high court gave Judge Rose until Oct. 11, to file the brief with the court.

The court made this order after considering the state’s petition and argument that Rose had no legal authority to require the juvenile facility to house him there without its consent.
