Supreme Court of Kansas
State v. Kemmerly
July 26, 2024552 P.3d 1244
Summary
The court affirmed Kemmerly's convictions and sentence, holding that he knowingly and intelligently waived his Sixth Amendment right to counsel before representing himself and that the district court acted within its discretion in denying his midtrial request for counsel. The court also held that sufficient circumstantial evidence supported the felony-murder conviction and declined to reach an unpreserved constitutional challenge to the firearm-possession statute. No separate opinions were filed.
