In re M.M.

Summary

The Kansas Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s dismissal of M.M.’s claim for compensation under K.S.A. 2019 Supp. 60-5004, holding that the statute’s plain language requires a conviction of a felony crime and that a juvenile adjudication is not a criminal conviction. The Court applied de novo review to the statutory interpretation and to the motion‑to‑dismiss determination.
