The Kansas Supreme Court has sided with a Wichita man and found that a city ordinance is unconstitutionally overbroad thereby vacating his convictions. The Kansas Supreme Court says in the matter of Appeal No. 122,007: City of Wichita v. Arlando Trotter, it affirmed part and reversed part of the Court of Appeals decision to reverse the Sedgwick Co. District Court’s dismissal of two criminal charges against Trotter. The Wichita Municipal Court convicted Trotter of failing to file a license application after-hours and teen club or entertainment, which the Supreme Court said it knew nearly nothing about…. The Supreme Court said it unanimously reversed the Court of Appeals on both grounds, finding that the ordnance was, in fact, unconstitutionally overbroad and that the panel made a mistake by raising the propriety of the second dismissal because the City of Wichita had waived the issue in its briefing.
