Appeal over Hard 50 sentences reaches Kansas Supreme Court
The case centers on whether Kansas juries must weigh aggravating and mitigating factors to impose the Hard 50 sentence. Hill received life without parole for 50 years, with lawmakers altering the process in a September special session after a June Supreme Court ruling.
