Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Green

March 11, 2022

Summary

The Kansas Supreme Court affirmed the district court's imposition of consecutive hard 25 life sentences, finding a sufficient factual basis for the murder‑for‑hire finding and concluding that the appellant failed to preserve a due‑process claim regarding the denial of a continuance. The Court held that the sentencing judge did not err in relying on the defendant’s own statements and that the appeal was barred because the issue was not raised at trial.
