State v. Golston

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Lockett, J.:

The State appeals the district judge’s calculation of “good time credits” to determine the date of release from custody of a prisoner serving a felony sentence.

JURISDICTION

The purpose of permitting the State to appeal on a question reserved is to allow the prosecution to obtain review of an adverse legal ruling on an issue of statewide interest important to the correct and uniform administration of the criminal law, which otherwise would not be subject to appellate review. State v. Ruff, 252 Kan. 625, 629-30, 847 P.2d 1258 (1993).
