Man whose murder conviction was reversed is resentenced

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A 65-year-old Wichita man whose first-degree murder conviction was reversed last year has been resentenced after he pleaded guilty to a lesser crime. Casimoro Nunez was sentenced to life in prison when he was convicted in 2019 for the killing of Antonio Guzman in 2016. Nunez claimed he shot Guzman in self defense. The Kansas Supreme Court tossed out that conviction last year and sent it back to Sedgwick County. Nunez pleaded guilty in January to second-degree reckless murder. He was resentenced last month to a total of 13 years for that crime and for possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute.
