Buzz Out There

It appears that there may be some Law Journal/Review articles coming about the case. I have heard that the legislature might be told by some folks to GO BACK to the WAY IT USED TO BE and reinstate Parens Patriae and pass something that says that Juvenile Convictions cannot be used against children as adults. Also, there is another very interesting case out of California where the Juvenile Law Center is seeking to prevent what has happened in Kansas, and other jurisdictions, where courts are allowing Juvenile Convictions to used against adults. The brief is EXCELLENT. You can read the brief at http://www.jlc.org/litigation/57/

Thanks for all the work of the Juvenile Law Center!!!

No Real Response from Legislature

At this point there has been no real response from the legislature. I will post what I find out on this site.

MOTION FOR REHEARING DENIED

The Kansas Supreme Court denied the Solicitor General's motion for rehearing. The mandate was issued on September 23, 2008. That will be posted here eventually.
