Parole has been granted to an inmate convicted of killing a Topeka man and removing his tattoos and teeth to prevent identification. Kenneth Cooks initial sentence left him ineligible for parole for 40 years. But the Kansas Supreme Court found that post-death mutilation doesnt warrant a Hard 40 sentence. Later the first-degree murder sentence also was overturned, and Cook was retried for second-degree murder. His final sentence made him eligible for parole after 15 years.
