Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kansas
Kansas statute
Can you tell me if any one has ever used statute K.S.A. 22-2902 (states that a defendant shall be granted a preliminary hearing 10 days after arrainment) In this case the hearing was set 2mos. after arrainment and then the state asked to continue because they were not ready to proceed. What are the reasons this could not be reason for dismissal. Thank you, Gerri

Re: Kansas statute
I appreciate your question as I have often myself the same thing. However, it has always been my understanding that the 10 day rule is there for guidance more than a drop dead time frame.
It does however come into play more when the defendant is in jail.
