Supreme Court of Kansas
State v. Liles
July 16, 2021490 P.3d 1206
Summary
The court affirmed Liles' convictions and sentences, holding that the prosecutor permissibly argued that Liles had a motive to give biased testimony and that the district court properly declined to expand the accomplice instruction to cover witnesses who received benefits for testifying. The court also rejected cumulative error because neither underlying claim had merit. It declined to review Liles' claim that the State breached a postconviction sentencing agreement because the record did not adequately establish the agreement's terms.
