1. ““[I]t is clear that the Crawford decision disapproved of a defendant’s arguing on appeal a position at odds with the position asserted in the trial court. O’Connell has not adopted an inconsistent position on appeal; the trial court remained free to apply the presumption of assignment to community corrections even though it had determined that O’Connell’s controlling sentence would be concurrent terms of 3 to 10 years on each count. K.S.A. 21-4603(2)(i). See State v. Fowler, 238 Kan. 326 , 710 P.2d 1268 (1985) (after imposing sentence, trial judge may place defendant on probation and make confinement in community corrections residential center a condition of probation).” O’Connell, 18 Kan. App. 2d at 897.”
