Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Green

March 11, 2022

Summary

The court affirmed Green's consecutive hard 25 life sentences for two felony first-degree murders. It held that the sentencing judge had substantial competent evidence, including Green's repeated statements, to find that the murder was committed for promised financial compensation. The court also held that Green failed to preserve his due process challenge to the remote presentation of his mother's sentencing statement because he requested videoconferencing and did not object to its quality when it occurred.
