Supreme Court of Kansas

State v. Tafolla

April 22, 2022508 P.3d 351

Summary

The court held that a district court may revoke probation and impose the original sentence without first imposing intermediate sanctions when probation was granted as a dispositional departure. The statutory exception does not require particularized findings or an express invocation of the exception. Tafolla failed to show that the district court misunderstood or failed to exercise its discretion, so the revocation and sentence were affirmed.
