Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Levy

April 23, 2021485 P.3d 605

Summary

The court affirmed Levy's convictions for first-degree felony murder and the resulting hard-25 sentence. It held that criminal discharge at an occupied vehicle does not require proof that the defendant specifically intended to shoot at the vehicle, that gang-affiliation evidence was relevant and not unduly prejudicial, and that the felony-murder instruction did not broaden the charge. Because no individual error occurred, the court rejected Levy's cumulative-error claim.
