HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 36-year-old man convicted in the shooting death of a Hutchinson woman was re-sentenced Monday to basically 47 years to life.

The new sentence for Christopher “Charles” Logsdon occurred after a Kansas Supreme Court ruling where they found the hard 50 sentence unconstitutional because Judge Trish Rose handed down the sentence on the evidence in the case, rather than by a jury beyond reasonable doubt.

Logsdon was denied all other appeals for his conviction for the murder of Jennifer Heckel, but was re-sentenced by Judge Trish Rose. District Attorney Keith Schroeder says, with the ruling by the state’s high court, it knocks the sentence of 72 years to life down to 47 to life. That’s taking off 25 years. Schroeder said Judge Rose had no choice in handing down the sentence.

During the hearing, two family members were allowed to speak their minds over what his actions did to them with the loss of Heckel.

Logsdon once again refused to follow the direction and orders of Judge Rose, who was then forced to have him removed.

Logsdon was convicted of shooting Heckel in her home in June of 2011 in what turned out to be a case of mistaken identity.
