Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Jordan

October 20, 2023537 P.3d 443

Summary

The court affirmed Jordan's convictions and sentence after rejecting six claims of error. It held that listing forgery and identity theft as underlying felonies under the fleeing-and-eluding statute described options within a single means rather than alternative means, that substituting the indictment for the complaint neither defeated jurisdiction nor violated due process, and that the remaining claims were either unpreserved or meritless. The court also held that the prosecutor's credibility argument stayed within the permissible bounds of closing argument and that cumulative error was unavailable because Jordan established no individual error.
