Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Defendant, John F. Clements, appeals his conviction of
aggravated criminal sodomy, K.S.A. 21-3506, claiming
[244 Kan. 412]
that he was denied his statutory right to a speedy trial, K.S.A.
22-3402, and that the trial court erred by permitting the State's
expert witness to explain the psychology and treatability of
sexual offenders to the jury. We find that, although the
defendant's statutory right to a speedy trial was not violated,
admission of the expert testimony violated the defendant's right
to a fair trial and we reverse.
