Topeka KS -- A man convicted of voluntary manslaughter in a 2004 Topeka gunshot slaying is a fugitive after breaking contact with his parole officer, according to the Kansas Department of Correction. Topeka police are actively seeking parole absconder Robert J.S. Ransom, 26, said corrections department spokesman Jan Lunsford. He asked anyone with information about Ransom’s whereabouts to call Topeka police at (785) 368-9464. The corrections department website indicated an arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for Ransom, 26, who was considered to have absconded from parole as of Wednesday. Ransom was paroled in July. The corrections department website indicates Ransom is a black man who stands 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 208 pounds. Shawnee County District Judge Jan Leuenberger sentenced Ransom in November 2004 to serve consecutive sentences totaling eight years, five months for voluntary manslaughter and criminal possession of a firearm. Ransom pleaded no contest to both charges in the April 2004 death of Lawrence Mason III, 18, of Topeka. Read More. |

The directory includes the biographies of judges presidentially appointed to serve during good behavior since 1789 on the U.S. district courts, U.S. courts of appeals, Supreme Court of the United States, and U.S. Court of International Trade, as well as the former U.S. circuit courts, Court of Claims, U.S. Customs Court, and U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals. Also included are judges who received presidential recess appointments to the above named courts but were not confirmed by the Senate to serve during good behavior. The Waco Federal Judge is experienced in patent litigation and starting to become the go-to district for intellectual property cases. The appointment of Waco’s new federal judge, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that narrows the venue for patent cases and Waco’s home in the federal Western District of Texas have combined into a perfect storm that could drastically alter Waco’s legal landscape.
