1. ““It is dear that in 1993 the statute did not expressly indude municipal convictions in detailing what misdemeanors should be considered and scored. In order to indude municipal convictions, we would be required to construe the statute as saying something which it does not dearly and expressly state. Such a construction would be contrary to the rule of strict construction which we are to apply in cases of this nature. Our criminal statutes are to be construed strictly against the State. State v. JC Sports Bar, Inc., 253 Kan. 815, 818 , 861 P.2d 1334 (1993).” 21 Kan. App. 2d at 361 .”
