State v. Tafolla
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the district court revoking Defendant's probation and order him to serve his original prison sentence, holding that the district court's revocation of Defendant's probation adhered to the statutory framework in Kan. Stat. Ann. 22-3716(c)(9)(B).
Defendant pleaded guilty to failure to register under the Kansas Offender Registration Act. After Defendant violated his probation, the district court revoked his probation and ordered him to serve the original prison sentence. On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court lacked the authority to revoke his probation without imposing the required immediate sanctions. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion by bypassing immediate sanctions and imposing Defendant's original prison sentence.
