Because, in my view, KORA registration qualifies as punishment, under the Due Process Clause, any finding of fact required to impose registration requirements must be made by a jury.

2019In United States v.

2023And although the Supreme Court found the "more expansive language" of K.S.A. 2017 Supp. 22-3602(a) covered the district court's deadly weapon finding in Marinelli's case, it noted that even those instances where the registration requirement springs from the convicted offense merely "should be caught up in the jurisdictional net cast by the first sentence in K.S.A. 2017 Supp. 22-3602(a)"—but "should be" does not a definitive answer make. 307 Kan. at 787 .

2020Therefore, it believes the registration requirement is not yet ripe for appellate review because "the District Court did not order Defendant to register nor did the District Court enter a judgment against him, the Court merely provided Defendant with a Notice of Duty to Register." In State v. Marinelli, 307 Kan. 768, 769 , 415 P.3d 405 (2018), the Kansas Supreme Court addressed appellate court jurisdiction in a criminal defendant's direct appeal of his KORA registration responsibilities.

2013The court said this court’s interpretation rendered this section of the statute superfluous, stating: “Why carve out a registration requirement where the victim is age 16 or 17, if the catch-all provision is intended to pull in all sexually motivated defendants anyway?” 294 Kan. at 95 .

2013In rejecting this analysis, the Supreme Court reasoned it was “counterintuitive” to think the legislature went to the trouble of omitting the misdemeanor crime from the list simply to eliminate the registration requirement for the “rare, if not nonexistent” circumstance in which a person commits the crime without sexual motivation. 294 Kan. at 94 .
