State v. Richardson
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the district court denying Defendant's most recent request for postconviction discovery of the ballistics report from her case, holding that the district court did not err by denying Defendant's motion.
Defendant was convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated robbery in a shooting death. The district court sentenced Defendant to life in prison without the possibility of parole for forty years. Defendant later filed her motion requesting postconviction discovery. The district court denied the motion after applying the postconviction discovery test articulated by a panel of the court of appeals in State v. Mundo-Parra, 462 P.3d 1211 (Kan. 2020). The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Defendant's claims of error on appeal lacked merit.
