The Kansas Supreme Court upheld the convictions of Mexican national Alejandro Garcia-Garcia's convictions in Montgomery County District Court last week for attempted capital murder, kidnapping, burglary, and interference with law enforcement. Garcia-Garcia’s Kansas crimes arose from a high-speed car chase that began in Oklahoma in May 2015.

It ended with a shootout with law enforcement outside a rural Liberty home. Garcia-Garcia then broke into that home, where he staved off law enforcement officers until they used teargas to daze him and apprehend him. He was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 31 years.
