Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal in a criminal action from a jury verdict
finding Thomas P. Bird (defendant-appellant) guilty of criminal
solicitation. K.S.A. 1984 Supp. 21-3303. The defendant was
sentenced to a term of not less than two and a half and not more
than seven years' imprisonment. The defendant contends the trial
court erred in numerous aspects, including the admission of
certain hearsay statements of Lorna Anderson, the taking of and
admission of deposition testimony of a State's witness, the
admission of evidence concerning Martin Anderson's life
insurance, and the failure to give certain cautionary
instructions. In addition, the defendant contends the complaint
information did not charge an offense, and that the prosecutor
was guilty of misconduct during closing argument. The facts, which are complex, will be stated as briefly as
possible since the defendant does not challenge the sufficiency
of the evidence.
