Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Johnson

March 7, 2025564 P.3d 1271

Summary

The Kansas Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of Johnson’s motion to modify his hard‑50 sentence. The court held that Kansas statutes and the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Alleyne do not provide a procedural mechanism to revisit a sentence that was final before Alleyne, leaving Johnson with no avenue for resentencing.
