On May 1, 2017, District Court Judge Jeffry Jack sentenced Crystal Galloway to life imprisonment for the 2015 murder of Robin Lance Fought in rural Cherokee County, Kansas. Galloway was convicted of First Degree Murder following a nine day jury trial in August, 2016. After 2 hours of deliberation, the Jury found Galloway guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt, of premeditated first degree murder, arson, and interference with law enforcement. Galloway received a “Hard 50” sentence for the murder conviction, which requires she serve a minimum of 50 years before being eligible for parole. Galloway also received aggravated sentences for her conviction of arson and interference with law enforcement based on the “heinous nature of the offense”. This case was investigated by the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. Galloway was prosecuted by the Cherokee County Attorney’s Office.
