State v. Jordan
Annotate this CaseThe State charged Defendant in two separate cases for conduct occurring in April 2010. In the first case, Defendant was found guilty of three of four charged offenses after a bench trial on stipulated facts, which included a police report filed after Defendant was arrested. In the second case, Defendant moved to dismiss the charges under Kan. Stat. Ann. 21-3108(2)(a), the compulsory joinder rule, because of the admission of the police report into evidence in the trial of the first case. After a bench trial, Defendant was convicted of felony theft by deception. The court of appeals affirmed the district judge’s refusal to dismiss. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Defendant was not entitled to claim the protection of the compulsory joinder rule in section 21-3108(2)(a).
