Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Harris

June 21, 2024550 P.3d 311

Summary

The Kansas Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of Harris’s post‑conviction DNA‑testing and spoliation claims, holding that K.S.A. 21‑2512 neither obligates a court to order testing the defendant does not request nor imposes a duty on the State to retain non‑biological evidence, and that Harris’s due‑process claim is barred by the one‑year limitation in K.S.A. 60‑1507.
