(C) The offender, because of physical or mental impairment, lacked substantial capacity for judgment when the offense was committed. The voluntary use of intoxicants, drugs or alcohol does not fall within the purview of this factor.
(D) The defendant, or the defendant's children, suffered a continuing pattern of physical or sexual abuse by the victim of the offense and the offense is a response to that abuse.
(E) The degree of harm or loss attributed to the current crime of conviction was significantly less than typical for such an offense.
(2) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b)(3), the following no- nexclusive list of aggravating factors may be considered in determining whether substantial and compelling reasons for departure exist:
(A) The victim was particularly vulnerable due to age, infirmity, or reduced physical or mental capacity which was known or should have been known to the offender.
(B) The defendant's conduct during the commission of the current offense manifested excessive brutality to the victim in a manner not nor- mally present in that offense.
(C) The offense was motivated entirely or in part by the race, color, religion, ethnicity, national origin or sexual orientation of the victim.
(D) The offense involved a fiduciary relationship which existed be- tween the defendant and the victim.
(E) The defendant committed any felony violation for the
benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with, any
criminal street gang, with the specific intent to promote, further
or assist in any criminal conduct by gang members. As used in this
subsection, ``criminal street gang'' means any organization,
association or group of three or more persons, whether formal or
informal, having as one of its primary activities the commission of
one or more person felonies or felony violations of the uniform
controlled substances act, K.S.A. 65-4101 et seq., and amend- ments
thereto, which has a common name or common identifying sign or
symbol, whose members, individually or collectively engage in or
have engaged in the commission, attempted commission, conspiracy to
commit or solicitation of two or more person felonies or felony
violations of the uniform controlled substances act, K.S.A. 65-4101
et seq., and amend- ments thereto, or any substantially similar
offense from another jurisdic- tion.
(F) (E) The defendant, 18 or more years
of age, employed, hired, used, persuaded, induced, enticed or
coerced any individual under 16 years of age to commit or assist in
avoiding detection or apprehension for commission of any person
felony or any attempt, conspiracy or solicitation as defined in
K.S.A. 21-3301, 21-3302 or 21-3303 and amendments thereto to commit
any person felony regardless of whether the defendant knew the age
of the individual under 16 years of age.
(G) (F) The defendant's current crime of
conviction is a crime of extreme sexual violence and the defendant
is a predatory sex offender. As used in this subsection:
(i) ``Crime of extreme sexual violence'' is a felony limited to the fol- lowing:
(a) A crime involving a nonconsensual act of sexual intercourse or sodomy with any person;
(b) a crime involving an act of sexual intercourse, sodomy or lewd fondling and touching with any child who is 14 or more years of age but less than 16 years of age and with whom a relationship has been estab- lished or promoted for the primary purpose of victimization; or
(c) a crime involving an act of sexual intercourse, sodomy or lewd fondling and touching with any child who is less than 14 years of age.
(ii) ``Predatory sex offender'' is an offender who has been convicted of a crime of extreme sexual violence as the current crime of conviction and who:
(a) Has one or more prior convictions of any crimes of extreme sexual violence. Any prior conviction used to establish the defendant as a pred- atory sex offender pursuant to this subsection shall also be counted in determining the criminal history category; or
(b) suffers from a mental condition or personality disorder which makes the offender likely to engage in additional acts constituting crimes of extreme sexual violence.
(iii) ``Mental condition or personality disorder'' means an emotional, mental or physical illness, disease, abnormality, disorder, pathology or condition which motivates the person, affects the predisposition or desires of the person, or interferes with the capacity of the person to control impulses to commit crimes of extreme sexual violence.
In determining whether aggravating factors exist as provided in this section, the court shall review the victim impact statement.
(3) If a factual aspect of a crime is a statutory element of the crime or is used to subclassify the crime on the crime severity scale, that aspect of the current crime of conviction may be used as an aggravating or mit- igating factor only if the criminal conduct constituting that aspect of the current crime of conviction is significantly different from the usual crim- inal conduct captured by the aspect of the crime.
(c) In determining aggravating or mitigating circumstances, the court shall consider:
(1) Any evidence received during the proceeding;
(2) the presentence report;
(3) written briefs and oral arguments of either the state or counsel for the defendant; and
(4) any other evidence relevant to such aggravating or mitigating cir- cumstances that the court finds trustworthy and reliable.
Sec./007006/K.S.A. 21-3412, as amended by section 4 of 1996 Senate Bill No. 674, is hereby amended to read as follows: 21-3412. (a) Battery is:
(1) Intentionally or recklessly causing bodily harm to another person; or
(2) intentionally causing physical contact with another person when done in a rude, insulting or angry manner.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (c), battery is a class B person misdemeanor.
(c) (1) Upon a first conviction of a violation of this section under circumstances which constitute a domestic battery, a person shall be guilty of a class B person misdemeanor and sentenced to not less than 48 con- secutive hours nor more than six months' imprisonment and fined not less than $200, nor more than $500 or in the court's discretion the court may enter an order which requires the person enroll in and successfully complete a domestic violence prevention program.
(2) If, within five years immediately preceding commission of
the crime, a person is convicted of a violation of this section a
second time under circumstances which constitute a domestic
battery, having at least one time before within such period
been convicted for such crime or a violation of a comparable crime
under the laws of any municipality, state, federal government or
foreign government, such person shall be guilty of a class
A person misdemeanor and sentenced to not less than 90 days nor
more than one year's imprisonment and fined not less than $500 nor
more than $1,000. The five days' imprisonment mandated by this
subsection may be served in a work release program only after such
person has served 48 consecutive hours' imprisonment, provided such
work release program requires such person to return to confinement
at the end of each day in the work release program. The person
convicted must serve at least five consecutive days' imprisonment
before the person is granted probation, suspension or reduction of
sentence or parole or is otherwise released. As a condition of any
grant of probation, suspension of sentence or parole or of any
other release, the person shall be required to enter into and
complete a treatment program for domestic violence prevention.
(3) If, within five years immediately preceding commission of the crime, a person is convicted of a violation of this crime a third or subse- quent time under circumstances which constitute a domestic battery, such person shall be guilty of a person felony and sentenced to not less than 90 days nor more than one year's imprisonment and fined not less than $1,000 nor more than $2,500. The person convicted shall not be eligible for release on probation, suspension or reduction of sentence or parole until the person has served at least 90 days' imprisonment. The court may also require as a condition of parole that such person enter into and complete a treatment program for domestic violence. The 90 days' imprisonment mandated by this subsection may be served in a work release program only after such person has served 48 consecutive hours' imprisonment, provided such work release program requires such person to return to confinement at the end of each day in the work release program.
(4) As used in this section: (A) Domestic battery means a
battery against a family or household member by a family or
household member; and
(B) family or household member means persons 18 years of age or
older who are spouses, former spouses, parents or stepparents and
chil- dren or stepchildren, and persons who are presently residing
together or who have resided together in the past, and persons who
have a child in common regardless of whether they have been married
or who have lived together at any time. Family or household member
also includes a man and woman if the woman is pregnant and the man
is alleged to be the father, regardless of whether they have been
married or have lived to- gether at any time.;
and
(C) for the purpose of determining whether a conviction is a first, second, third or subsequent conviction in sentencing under this section:
(i) ``Conviction'' includes being convicted of a violation of this section or entering into a diversion or deferred judgment agreement in lieu of further criminal proceedings on a complaint alleging a violation of this section;
(ii) ``conviction'' includes being convicted of a violation of a law of another state, or an ordinance of any city, or resolution of any county, which prohibits the acts that this section prohibits or entering into a diversion or deferred judgment agreement in lieu of further criminal pro- ceedings in a case alleging a violation of such law, ordinance or resolution;
(iii) only convictions occurring in the immediately preceding five years including prior to the effective date of this act shall be taken into account, but the court may consider other prior convictions in determin- ing the sentence to be imposed within the limits provided for a first, sec- ond, third or subsequent offender, whichever is applicable; and
(iv) it is irrelevant whether an offense occurred before or after con- viction for a previous offense.
