State v. Davidson

Summary

The Kansas Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s dismissal of Michael Davidson’s motion for a new trial, holding that the two‑year filing deadline for motions based on newly discovered evidence under K.S.A. 2020 Supp. 22‑3501 is mandatory and that no exception applies. The Court also held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to treat the motion as a K.S.A. 60‑1507 filing and in summarily dismissing it as untimely.
