Supreme Court of Kansas
State v. Anderson
March 1, 2024543 P.3d 1120
Summary
The court affirmed Anderson's convictions for felony murder, intentional murder, aggravated robbery, the controlled-substance offense, and criminal possession of a weapon. It held that the district court reasonably declined to exclude a late-disclosed jail-call recording, that the prosecutor's burden-shifting rebuttal argument was harmless, and that sufficient circumstantial evidence supported the controlled-substance conviction. The court vacated the BIDS attorney-fee assessment and remanded because the district court did not expressly consider the burden payment would impose on Anderson.
