View this case - free  

Overview: Where the trial court stated it was going to require appellant to "serve her sentence" after the revocation of her probation, but did not refer to appellant's "original sentence," all that was left was the pronouncement from the bench that appellant had to serve a 36-month prison term; thus, the trial court erred in affirming the 52-month sentence.

Haddock v. State, No. 93,500, SUPREME COURT OF KANSAS, November 9, 2006, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Court erred by denying defendant's motion for additional DNA testing on hair under Kan. Stat.

In the Interest of M.R., No. 95,671, COURT OF APPEALS OF KANSAS, November 9, 2006, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because state agency's decision to remove children from their foster parents and to place them with their aunt and uncle was overly influenced, if not controlled, by an abstract or arbitrary preference for "blood," this sufficiently supported trial court's conclusion that agency failed to make reasonable efforts under Kan. Stat. Ann. § 38-1584(d).

View this case - free  

Overview: After a suppression order was granted and the State dismissed drug possession charges against defendant, denial of defendant's request to have his car and cash found therein returned under the Kansas Uniform Controlled Substances Act, Kan. Stat. Ann. § 60-4101 et seq. was proper as collateral estoppel did not apply to the suppression order.
