Supreme Court of Kansas
State v. Milo
May 20, 2022510 P.3d 1
Summary
The court affirmed Milo's felony-murder conviction based on attempted distribution of marijuana. It held that self-defense cannot justify felony murder and cannot apply to attempted marijuana distribution because that offense contains no force element, although self-defense may negate an underlying felony when force is an element that the defense can legally justify. The court also upheld the attempted-distribution instructions, the denial of acquittal, and the rejection of cumulative error.
