The Kansas Supreme Court ruled that state Rep. Carl Maughan violated professional standards while representing Bret Blevins in a crash that killed two men.

The Supreme Court ruled that conflict-of-interest waivers Maughan had Blevins and Akers sign didn’t adequately address the situation or fully inform them of the consequences.

Ultimately, Blevins was sentenced to more than 60 years in prison in 2017 after he was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder. Blevins had already been under probation for allegedly stealing a 6-foot-tall bronze eagle statue from a Boy Scouts of America council building in Wichita, CBS affiliate WIBW reported.

But the Kansas Court of Appeals ruled four years later that he deserved a new trial because of Maughan’s conflicts of interest. He then pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to more than 13 years in prison.

Maughan announced last month that he would drop out of the race for his House seat, but his name will still be on the primary ballot alongside three other Republicans because he missed the deadline to withdraw it.
