Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Holley

May 20, 2022509 P.3d 542

Summary

The court affirmed Holley's convictions, holding that self-defense could not justify the aggravated robbery underlying his felony-murder conviction and that the evidence sufficiently supported child-endangerment convictions without proof of a probability of harm. It vacated the lifetime postrelease-supervision portion of his sentence because such supervision cannot accompany an off-grid, indeterminate life sentence, but left the restitution order intact because the challenge was unpreserved and the order did not create a civil judgment. No separate opinions were filed.
