Disbarred Kansas lawyer sentenced for hitting pregnant nurse with truck, breaking legs

A recently disbarred lawyer has been sentenced to prison for hitting a woman with his pickup truck, breaking both of her legs, while she was crossing a street in Kansas City, Kan.

Mark R. Logan was sentenced in Wyandotte County District Court to two years and four months in prison.

Logan, 55, pleaded no contest in August and was found guilty of aggravated battery and failure to yield to a pedestrian.

He was facing a DUI charge at the time of the October 2, 2017, incident, and was free on bond, according to court records.

And he was intoxicated when he hit Amy Goodwin as she walked in a marked cross walk outside of the University of Kansas Hospital where she worked as a nurse.

Goodwin was about 29 weeks pregnant and both of her legs were broken in the impact.

She said at Logan’s sentencing that after she realized she had survived being hit, she was terrified that her child had been killed.

“She was not moving. I could not feel her. I had no clue if I was bleeding or not,” Goodwin said.

And as she lay in the street screaming, she said Logan rolled down his window and tried to hand her his card.

“You expressed NO remorse for what you caused,” Goodwin wrote in her victim impact statement to the court.

Her daughter is now 10 months old and is in good health.

But Goodwin has ongoing pain and physical limitations because of the incident and is haunted by nightmares of seeing his truck barreling at her.

“Once Mr. Logan has served his time and paid his fines, he can move on with his life while I am left to constantly feel the pain of HIS bad choices,” she wrote. “I did nothing wrong that day.”

In June, the Kansas Supreme Court disbarred Logan after he voluntarily surrendered his law license.

The court noted in the disbarment order that Logan, who previously had a law office in Shawnee, was then the subject of six disciplinary complaints.

He admitted to violating rules for attorneys, including misappropriating client money and not cooperating with investigators, according to the Supreme Court order.
