Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal in a criminal action from a jury verdict finding Norman Roy Fenton (defendant-appellant) guilty of first-degree murder (K.S.A. 21-3401). The appellant raises five issues on appeal. He contends the trial court erred in (1) permitting the jury to view trial exhibits a second time prior to retiring for deliberations; (2) refusing to permit the appellant to question the jury about events occurring during deliberations; (3) refusing to grant a new trial after the disclosure of outside communications to the jury; (4) admitting testimony of a sheriff's matron; and (5) that there was insufficient evidence of premeditation. The facts are not complex, but are lengthy because of their circumstantial nature. On the evening of November 28, 1975, twenty-five-year-old Jan E. Fenton was murdered in the bathroom of her home in Sharon, Kansas. She was shot in the face with a single .22-caliber bullet. Mrs. Fenton's husband, the appellant, reported the murder to authorities at about 10:30 p.m. on the night it occurred. In a statement to the authorities the appellant stated that Mrs. Fenton was alive when he left their home about 9:30 p.m. and drove to Medicine Lodge for beer, cigarettes and baby food. He returned about 10:30 p.m. and discovered his wife dead.
