Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Hunter

September 11, 2026

Summary

The Kansas Supreme Court held that a district court cannot impose a Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act prison sentence while simultaneously ordering a commitment under K.S.A. 22‑3430, vacated both the commitment and the 130‑month sentence as illegal, and remanded the case for resentencing. The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals’ decision vacating the sentence.
