2022"One way in which a defendant can demonstrate the existence of an abuse of discretion is to show that the district court failed to exercise its discretion, either because it refused to do so or because it failed to discern that it was being called upon to exercise discretion." Stewart, 306 Kan. at 262.

2020I just wouldn't do it for anybody." Citing to State v. Stewart, 306 Kan. 237 , 261-63, 393 P.3d 1031 (2017), Welch argues that the statements made by the district court at the probation revocation hearing constitute the type of "'blanket ruling'" that have been found to be an abuse of discretion.

2022To resolve the issue, the Kansas Supreme Court determined it needed to answer two questions: "(1) Does the State waive a probation violation if it lodges a detainer but does not conduct a probation revocation hearing while the probationer is imprisoned on an unrelated felony conviction arising in another county" and (2) if not, what standard applies to determine whether the delay violated an alleged probation violator's due process? 287 Kan. at 140 .

2020This two-part test to determine whether "good cause" exists to admit evidence without confrontation examines: "(1) the explanation the State offers for why confrontation is undesirable or impractical, and (2) the reliability of the evidence which the State offers in place of live testimony."
