State v. Collier
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the district court denying Appellant's second pro se motion to correct an illegal sentence for offenses he committed in 1993, holding that the trial court correctly sentenced Appellant.
The sentencing court in this case ordered a hard fifteen life sentence with lifetime parole for Appellant's conviction of first-degree murder and a consecutive ninety-seven-month term of imprisonment for an aggravated robbery conviction. In his second pro se motion to correct an illegal sentence Appellant sought correction of a supervision term that he argued was required for the aggravated robbery sentence. The district court summarily denied the motion. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that, under Kan. Stat. Ann. 21-4720(b), when a defendant is sentenced for both off-grid and on-grid crimes, the sentencing court only has authority to impose the supervision period associated with the off-grid crime.
