2006 Kansas Code - 21-3104

      21-3104.   Territorial applicability. (1) A person is subject to prosecution and punishment under the law of this state if:

      (a)   He commits a crime wholly or partly within this state; or

      (b)   Being outside the state, he counsels, aids, abets, or conspires with another to commit a crime within this state; or

      (c)   Being outside the state, he commits an act which constitutes an attempt to commit a crime within this state.

      (2)   An offense is committed partly within this state if either an act which is a constituent and material element of the offense, or the proximate result of such act, occurs within the state. If the body of a homicide victim is found within the state, the death is presumed to have occurred within the state.

      (3)   A crime which is based on an omission to perform a duty imposed by the law of this state, is committed within the state, regardless of the location of the person omitting to perform such duty at the time of the omission.

      (4)   It is not a defense that the defendant's conduct is also a crime under the laws of another state or of the United States or of another country.

      (5)   This state includes the land and water and the air space above such land and water with respect to which the state has legislative jurisdiction.
