"Citing “insufficient evidence” that was used against him, a former police officer who was convicted of manslaughter in his wife’s death is seeking a new trial.
Jeff West, 47, was found guilty of manslaughter in the 2018 death of his wife, Kathleen “Kat” West, and sentenced to 16 years in prison in February.
Attorney for Kat West’s husband: ‘We will be looking into his wife’s double life’
The request, filed by attorney John Robbins, claimed the evidence produced during West’s trial was “insufficient to support the verdict” and “insufficient to support a finding beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty of the defendant’s guilt."
