Ann. 60-1507 motion asserting that the 2006 amendments to the Kansas Offender Registration Act (KORA) constituted punishment under the Ex Post Facto Clause so that they could not be retroactively applied to him. The district court denied the motion on the grounds that caselaw has established that the KORA registration requirement does not impose punishment. The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s decision, albeit for a different reason, holding that Appellant failed to show manifest injustice.
