Supreme Court to rule on Kansas sexual predator law
The Supreme Court heard testimony on whether Kansas may confine convicted sex offenders in a state mental hospital after completing prison terms. The case centers on whether mental illness proves future risk, with Leroy Hendricks as a notable example. Supporters call it a constitutional alternative to harsher penalties, while opponents fear expanded state power.
