Description
Stanley Lee Bissell was convicted by a jury of voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to a term of 5 to 20 years' imprisonment. In November 1995, Bissell filed a motion to have his sentence converted under the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines Act (KSGA), K.S.A. 21-4701 et seq. The district court denied Bissell's motion, and Bissell appeals. On appeal, Bissell argues that the limited retroactivity provision of the KSGA violates his rights to equal protection of the law. This provision was upheld by the Kansas Supreme Court in Chiles v.
