Supreme Court of Kansas February 25, 1978, 49,131 (State v. Buie)

Per Curiam:

This is a direct appeal from a conviction of murder in the first degree (K.S.A. 21-3401). Because of the issues raised on the appeal it is necessary to set forth the factual circumstances in some detail. The tragic event giving rise to this prosecution took place shortly after 11:00 p.m.
