State v. Marks
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the district court denying Appellant's postconviction motion to compel the production of records related to his criminal case, holding that there was no basis for the discovery Appellant requested.
More than a decade ago, Appellant went through criminal proceedings that led to his conviction of first-degree premeditated murder. At issue was Appellant's "pro se and barebones" postconviction motion to compel production of records related to his criminal proceedings. The district court denied the motion. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) there was no support for Appellant's theory that Kan. Stat. Ann. 22-3212 and 22-3213 apply to his motion for postconviction discovery; and (2) because Appellant cited no other basis for the requested discovery, the district court properly denied his motion to compel discovery.
