State v. Genson
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the court of appeals affirming the judgment of the district court convicting Defendant of violating the Kansas Offender Registration Act (KORA) by failing to register, holding that the Legislature's decision to make the crime of failure to register a strict liability felony did not violate Defendant's substantive due process rights.
On appeal, Defendant argued that Kan. Stat. Ann. 21-5203(e) violated his substantive due process rights by making a KORA violation a strict liability crime. The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Defendant failed to show that section 21-5203(e)'s strict liability criminalization of KORA registration violations did not violate Defendant's substantive due process rights.
