State v. Cameron
Annotate this Case
As required by Kan. Stat. Ann. 22-3717(d)(1)(G), the district court in this case sentenced Defendant, in part, to lifetime postrelease supervision for his convictions of three counts of aggravated indecent solicitation of a child. The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's sentence, holding (1) the lifetime postrelease supervision sentence was not disproportionate to the seriousness of Defendant's crime, was not grossly disproportionate to the sentences imposed for other crimes in Kansas or similar crimes in other states, and was not categorically unconstitutional; and (2) the district court did not have discretion to sentence Defendant to a postrelease supervision term of twenty-four months, as there was no reasonable doubt that the Legislature intended that the more severe penalty of lifetime postrelease supervision must be imposed when a defendant is sentenced for a sexually violent crime.
