I’m glad KK got such a long sentence but I’m concerned about how much of it he is likely to serve and if it is likely to be reduced when he appeals the length of it. I believe he is incredibly dangerous and that he should never be released.
 
Ugh, look at this guys court docket, he was charged with 11 different sex crimes, range of all 1-6 level felonies, 9 were dismissed, pled to 2 level 3 felonies and got 18 years (9 years each served consecutive). Look who the judge is-FG! Not enough time imo for all that!

I wonder how long that guy had been abusing those children.
I'm often astounded at the sentences I've seen handed out.

'I knew it was wrong' | Kegan Kline sentenced to 40 years in child pornography case

In March, Kline pleaded guilty to 25 charges, ranging from child exploitation and possession of child *advertiser censored* to obstruction of justice.
www.wthr.com www.wthr.com
“Knight testified Kline was aware of his association with the Delphi murders case, as police claimed the anthony_shots account was the last to communicate with Libby German, and capitalize on that to get money in jail.”

The keen interest by some in KK, I wonder if he was given payment for his past interviews.

Very well worth a listen to get a better idea of the context of what we saw in yesterday's tweets. All I can say is that KAK being in prison now, unable to harm any other children, is directly because of L and A's case, and something to bring meaning to their deaths, even if their murders end up being unrelated.

I also have to say that, imo, a lot of what we saw in that 2020 KAK transcript was likely not LE lying. They didn't have to lie. That's just what the evidence was. The veracity of the Delphi discussion in the transcripts is unknown, but it's worth thinking about. Jmo.

They sure didn't waste any time shipping him out. He's already at the Reception Diagnostic Center in Plainfield, IN. I'm going to check back for his earliest possible release date.

Here's one part of the "Sentenced" entry of his case; it's broken down in a total of three different ways.

The Court also FINDS that each of the following constitutes a separate “episode of
criminal conduct,” as defined in I.C. 35-50-1-2(b):
• EPISODE 1 (Count 1);
• EPISODE 2 (Count 2);
• EPISODE 3 (Count 3);
• EPISODE 4 (Counts 4, 5, 6, and 7);
• EPISODE 5 (Counts 8 and 9);
• EPISODE 6 (Counts 10, 16, and 17);
• EPISODE 7 (Counts 13, 18, 19, and 20);
• EPISODE 8 (Counts 11 and 12);
• EPISODE 9 (Count 14);
• EPISODE 10 (Count 15);
• EPISODE 11 (Count 21);
• EPISODE 12 (Count 22); and
• EPISODE 13 (Counts 23, 24, and 25).
 
At this time his earliest possible release date is 10.5 years from now.


Earliest Possible Release Date*
* Incarcerated individuals scheduled for release on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday are released on Monday. Incarcerated individuals scheduled for release on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday are released on Thursday. Incarcerated individuals whose release date falls on a Holiday are released on the first working day prior to the Holiday.		01/30/2034

Do they only have part of his sentences calculated? The court seemed to be sending them in part and I wonder if we caught them in the middle of totaling them?

I don't know. I need someone to explain the sentencing to me like I'm 5! It seems like there should be more, where are the Possession of CP sentences?
 
@twall We probably should wait a few days to see if they update the sentence.

• Count 1 Child Solicitation, a Level 5 Felony;
• Count 2 Child Exploitation, a Level 5 Felony;
• Count 3 Child Exploitation, a Level 5 Felony;

• Count 5 Child Exploitation, a Level 5 Felony;
• Count 6 Child Exploitation, a Level 5 Felony;

I'm going to break my post up a bit for those who are on their phones.

From 2020; I couldn't easily find anything from 2017, when he did the crimes.
law.justia.com

2020 Indiana Code :: Title 35. Criminal Law and Procedure :: Article 50. Sentences :: Chapter 1. General Provisions :: 35-50-1-2. Consecutive and Concurrent Terms

(b) As used in this section, "episode of criminal conduct" means offenses or a connected series of offenses that are closely related in time, place, and circumstance.

From KAK's sentencing order.
The Court also FINDS that each of the following constitutes a separate “episode of
criminal conduct,” as defined in I.C. 35-50-1-2(b):
• EPISODE 1 (Count 1);
• EPISODE 2 (Count 2);
• EPISODE 3 (Count 3);
• EPISODE 4 (Counts 4, 5, 6, and 7);
• EPISODE 5 (Counts 8 and 9);
• EPISODE 6 (Counts 10, 16, and 17);
• EPISODE 7 (Counts 13, 18, 19, and 20);
• EPISODE 8 (Counts 11 and 12);
• EPISODE 9 (Count 14);
• EPISODE 10 (Count 15);
• EPISODE 11 (Count 21);
• EPISODE 12 (Count 22); and
• EPISODE 13 (Counts 23, 24, and 25).
********************************************************
The Court determines that the Defendant’s aggregate sentences for each of those 13 episodes of criminal conduct shall be consecutive with each other.

I can't find a good definition for Indiana aggregate sentencing but two other states agree that it's the combination of 2 or more consecutive sentences combined.
 
From the IN DOC, this is how his sentence will be served (I removed some info for easier reading). It seems the judge divided his sentence into 4 parts and he won't be released until each one is served.
"The Defendant shall receive credit against his sentence on Count 1 for having already served 1,072 actual days in the Miami County Jail (from August 19, 2020, through July 26, 2023) and having earned 357 days of good time credit, for a total credit of 1,429 days."
