Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Mitchell

March 11, 2022315 Kan. 156

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Mitchell's motion to correct an illegal sentence. It held that statutory speedy-trial and allocution claims do not fall within the statutory definition of an illegal sentence and that, even if construed as a post-conviction motion, the filing was untimely and successive without a showing of manifest injustice or exceptional circumstances.
