A court hearing is slated Friday afternoon to adjust part of a sentence for a man convicted of sexually assaulting a teenager several years ago.
Almost a year ago, the Kansas Court of Appeals upheld part of Derek Gormly’s appeal after his convictions on aggravated indecent liberties and lewd and lascivious conduct charges. The appellate court said Lyon County District Court could not impose a lifetime postrelease supervision aspect of his sentence in conjunction with lifetime parole.
In its ruling from February 2018, the Court of Appeals also denied Gormly’s appeal for improperly admitted evidence from two prior convictions and for his indecent liberties conviction allegedly violating the US Constitution Eighth Amendment directives for excessive bail, excessive fines or cruel and unusual punishment.
The hearing is at 1:15 pm in Lyon County District Court.
