Supreme Court of Kansas
State v. Johnson
March 7, 2025564 P.3d 782
Summary
The Kansas Supreme Court held that clerical errors in a sentencing journal entry are correctable nunc pro tunc, that the imposition of lifetime post‑release supervision in a first‑degree murder case exceeds statutory authority and must be vacated, and that constitutional due‑process claims are not cognizable in a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Accordingly, the court vacated the lifetime post‑release supervision, ordered correction of the journal entry, and remanded for compliance.
