State v. Ross
Annotate this CaseDefendant pled no contest to felony murder and kidnapping. Defendant appealed his sentence. The Supreme Court vacated the sentence in part and remanded, holding (1) the district court did not err in imposing lifetime postrelease supervision; (2) the district court did not err in requiring Defendant to register under the Kansas Offender Registration Act, as nothing in the record suggested Defendant's victim was under eighteen years of age; (3) the Court lacked jurisdiction to review the propriety of Defendant's sixty-one-month sentence for kidnapping because the sentence was considered a presumptive sentence; and (4) the district court did not abuse its discretion in ordering Defendant's sentences to run consecutively rather than concurrently.
