State v. Keys
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's convictions for felony murder and aggravated robbery, holding that there was no error or abuse of discretion in the proceedings below.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the indictment forming the basis of his conviction was statutorily and constitutionally defective, that the district court erred in several respects, and that the cumulative effect of those errors violated his constitutional right to a fair trial. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the second superseding indictment did not implicate Kan. Stat. Ann. 22-3015 or deprive Defendant of due process; (2) the district court did not err in denying Defendant's motion to dismiss or in admitting into evidence the deposition testimony of a witness unavailable to testify at trial; (3) Defendant was not entitled to a self-defense instruction; and (4) where there was no error, the cumulative doctrine did not apply.
