Supreme Court of Kansas
State v. J.L.J.
May 3, 2024547 P.3d 501
Summary
The court affirmed J.L.J.'s convictions and sentence after finding one prosecutorial error during voir dire but concluding it was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. The court rejected the remaining prosecutorial-error claims, held that impeachment about J.L.J.'s review of discovery did not violate the unconstitutional-conditions doctrine, and declined to apply cumulative-error review. It also refused to reach J.L.J.'s unpreserved challenge to the adult-certification process because he did not establish a reason to depart from existing precedent.
