State v. Corbin
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded no contest to premeditated first-degree murder. Before sentencing, Defendant filed a motion requesting that the district court determine if he was a person with “intellectual disability.” The court denied the motion. Defendant was sentenced to a hard twenty-five life sentencing. During the pendency of this appeal, the legislature amended the statute that supplies part of the definition of intellectual disability in Kan. Stat. Ann. 21-6622(b). The Supreme Court reversed, holding that, under the circumstances of this case, the recent amendments require consideration by the district court in its intellectual disability calculus. Remanded with instructions.
