1. ““The term ‘substantial’ here refers to something that is real, not imagined, something with substance and not ephemeral. The term ‘compelling’ here implies that a court is forced, by the facts of a case, to leave the status quo or go beyond what is ordinary. Examples of the term can be found in State v. Phillips, 252 Kan. 937, 943 , 850 P.2d 877 (1993), where aggravating circumstances can ‘compel’ the outweighing of mitigating circumstances; State v. Macomber, 244 Kan. 396, 405 , 769 P.2d 621 , cert. denied 493 U.S. 842 (1989), which holds that a trial court must have articulable ‘compelling’ reasons for not using PIK instructions; and State v. Williams, 15 Kan. App. 2d 656, 666 , 815 P.2d 569 (1991), which states some ‘compelling need’ must exist for the State to be allowed to obtain certain types of body fluids from a defendant.””
