Diversions barred for serious crimes under Kansas law
Kansas law bars diversions for crimes that would be class A or B felonies or for the most serious drug and non drug offenses under the 1993 sentencing guidelines. Offenses include first and second degree murder aggravated kidnapping rape aggravated criminal sodomy and second or third offenses for narcotics. Prior diversion or conviction for the same offense makes one ineligible. Current violations causing permanent injury or death in a motor vehicle crash also disqualify.
