Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Hambright

April 5, 2024545 P.3d 605

Summary

The Kansas Supreme Court held that the State presented sufficient evidence for a rational jury to find Gerald Hambright guilty of possessing a dagger, reversing the Court of Appeals and affirming the district court on that issue. The Court remanded the case for the Court of Appeals to address Hambright’s other asserted errors. The decision relied on the ordinary meaning of “dagger” and the de novo standard for sufficiency reviews.
