Outgoing Anderson County Attorney Elizabeth Oliver has won an honorable mention award bestowed by the Kansas County & District Attorneys Association for the fall/ winter 2024 awards period. In October 2023, Oliver successfully tried and appealed the Jeremy Fudge case, which established important case law regarding the admissibility of intoxilyzer 9000 breath test results in Kansas. She secured numerous convictions in a range of cases, including felony DUI, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and misdemeanor domestic battery. Notably, Oliver achieved a conviction in the Isidro Madrid case in which the defendant was found guilty of 16 counts of off-grid Jessica’s Law offenses.
The nomination announcement in the Kansas Prosecutor Magazine said…”known for her compassion, Oliver is dedicated to working closely with law enforcement, victims and her community where she is actively involved in local organizations and frequently participates in law day presentations for local schools”.
Oliver was voted out of office in the November general election. Steve Wilson, a native of the Garnett area will take office this month.
