TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) – The Kansas Supreme Court ruled on the case of a mother’s child benefit, the case of prolonged incarceration during a traffic obstruction, and the case of three defendants appealing a harsh 50-minute sentence.

The Kansas Supreme Court ruled on appeal 118,734: Ayse Carmen v Bryant Harris ruled that any maintenance obligations for parental care and maternal childbirth expenses must be included in the original price entered when determining paternity. Johnson Co. District Court denied a mother’s motion over a year after establishing paternity to add prenatal care reimbursement and childbirth to her father’s obligation. In a unanimous decision, she upheld the district court’s decision, stating that her power to change the previously set support obligation was limited by law.

On appeal # 120,209: Kansas State v Sergio Angel Arrizabalaga, the court said it overturned the appeals court and Saline Co. District Court judgments and remitted the case for further trial after the state paged an injunction against an order that suppressed evidence gathered from a vehicle search. The district court granted the suppression request after finding that the driver’s continued detention was too long and illegal. The appeals court upheld the decision with a dissenting judge. The inspection found that the soldier had carried out the stop conscientiously under the circumstances and that the detention was not unlawful.

The Supreme Court said in Appeal No. 122,293: Kansas State v Christopher M. Trotter, Johnson, Appleby and Trotter all challenged the verdict of Trotter’s premeditated conviction or first degree capital murder conviction. It said it rejected arguments that Kansas law was a way or independent means to attack a harsh 50-minute penalty and upheld the lower courts’ decisions to deny any relief. It was said that Johnson’s and Trotters cases were from Wyandotte Co. Appleby’s cases were said to be from Johnson Co.
