Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Theodore C. Knapp appeals from his conviction by a jury of two counts of first-degree murder (K.S.A. 21-3401) in the slaying of his ex-wife and her next-door neighbor. Defendant and Connie Sue Knapp were divorced in the District Court of Cowley County on August 5, 1981. As part of the decree, Connie Sue was awarded possession of a 1976 Volkswagen Dasher automobile, which her husband was to pick up and deliver to her. Defendant was then to take possession of a 1979 Jeep held by Connie Sue. Defendant at the time was a staff sergeant in the Army stationed at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. On September 23, 1981, he was granted temporary leave to pick up the Volkswagen in New Orleans, Louisiana, where it had arrived after being shipped from defendant's prior duty station in West Germany. Connie Sue was expecting her ex-husband to arrive on September 24, 1981, to exchange cars with her.
